La Méthode — Advanced Food Biotechnology
FermBiome · R&D&i

Fermentation research and technology applied to baking

FermBiome is the La Méthode area devoted to R&D&i in formulations, processes and special raw materials. We connect knowledge of cereals, controlled germination and sourdough fermentation with the study of the food matrix and its relationship with the human biota.

How we work

From cereal to product knowledge

Raw materials and formulation

We select cereals and fractions of interest. The whole grain and its behaviour during processing are research variables.

Controlled bioprocesses

Germination and sourdough fermentation as stages that transform the cereal matrix, balancing transformation, safety and baking performance.

Measurement and validation

We characterise raw materials, doughs and finished products. Microbiota studies are organised in stages.

Industrial transfer

Processes that can be described, reproduced and scaled to industrial production, with batch traceability.
