Key2Biotics provides specialist stability and shelf-life testing for probiotic supplements and functional food and beverage products, helping brands understand how probiotic viability and product quality change throughout shelf life.

Probiotics present unique stability challenges. Viability can be affected by strain selection, formulation, moisture, packaging, storage conditions and interactions with other ingredients. Our team combines specialist probiotic expertise with in-house microbiology and stability capabilities to design testing programmes around the product rather than applying a generic approach.

We assess probiotic viability at defined time points under controlled storage conditions, generating the data needed to understand product performance and determine whether declared probiotic levels can be maintained throughout the intended shelf life.

Programmes can support new product development, formulation and ingredient compatibility studies, packaging decisions, shelf-life establishment and verification of existing commercial products. Testing can include baseline and scheduled probiotic enumeration, water activity assessment, defined stability pull points and comparison of formulations, ingredients or packaging configurations where required.

Robust stability data gives brands greater confidence in the quality of the product they are placing on the market. It provides evidence to support product specifications, label claims and shelf life, while helping meet applicable quality and regulatory requirements.

From early formulation through to commercial product verification, Key2Biotics provides scientifically robust, practical data that brands can use to make informed decisions about formulation, packaging, quality and shelf life.
