By integrating Seprify\u2019s patented cellulose-based technology, Oterra will be able to offer customers a clean-label and renewable alternative that matches the opacity, brightness and whitening effect of titanium dioxide while significantly reducing environmental impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership combines Oterra\u2019s global market reach and application expertise with Seprify\u2019s deep materials science and process innovation. The two companies have collaborated for more than two years, testing across more than 15 food categories \u2014 from bakery icings, confectionery coatings and sauces to plant-based dairy and meat, and powdered beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seprify\u2019s proprietary extraction technology produces particles inspired by natural structures that scatter light in a particular way to create a bright white surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOterra has developed one of the largest portfolios of natural colors in response to growing consumer demand for alternatives to artificial colors. While we have good, natural raw materials to replace titanium dioxide in selected applications, this new source of white gives us better options for a broader range of food and beverage applications,\u201d said Luc Ganivet, Chief Innovation Officer, Oterra<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sustainability profile of the technology means that Oterra can also get closer to its goals of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released. Together with Seprify, we\u2019re ensuring that performance, safety, and sustainability go hand in hand for the next generation of food formulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
