Our Comprehensive Services

Genç ve Natürel produces innovative products from a variety of biomass substrates using advanced biotechnology techniques. Our company processes locally unused biomass resources and byproducts of various agricultural and food processes using various fermentation techniques to eliminate antinutrients and undesirable flavors, enrich them with macro and micronutrients, and achieve an attractive flavor balance. To this end, we have implemented and continue to implement verification processes based on food microbiology, biotechnology, and instrumental analysis in our laboratories. These processes require extensive expertise and knowledge. Both the company founders and the academic advisors they work with have extensive experience and academic knowledge in microbiology, biotechnology, and chemistry. We are ready to offer this rich resource to you. In addition to macrocomponent analyses of innovative foods and beverages, we can also conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses of functional components. Specifically, to enable you to make healthy and functional food claims, we create certain chemicals with proven functional properties in your product through fermentation and verify the presence of the resulting components. We also provide consulting services on how to increase these components upon request. Additionally, thanks to our experienced academic and engineering staff in Advanced Food Microbiology, we can collaborate on numerous projects in this field. These services include:

• Isolation of starter (inoculation) cultures from any traditional food
• Preparation of starter culture mixtures for fermented foods
• Identification testing of selected starter cultures
• Registration and deposit of starter culture mixtures in international laboratories
• Conducting starter culture patent studies
• Conducting laboratory-scale fermentation experiments and optimizing fermentation conditions
• Microbiological identifications, counts, and related tests

Genç ve Natürel aims to ensure that its innovative products provide health benefits, contain appropriate macronutrients in appropriate proportions, and contain beneficial bioactives and microorganisms. It pays particular attention to ensuring that the products it develops are microbiome-friendly and contain beneficial fermentation metabolites. To meet these requirements, the founders have collaborated with expert professors in various research projects and lectured at universities in this field. This expertise can be seen in our founders' CVs and published articles. We are ready to make this capacity available to you. We offer research, analysis, validation, and consulting services through our partner institutions and organizations in areas such as bioavailability, digestive system simulation, and DNA degradation studies in newly developed foods and beverages.

Genç ve Natürel aims to ensure that its innovative products meet all generally accepted food safety and quality standards. Our company's founding partners previously held management positions at compliance auditing firms that provide quality system certification, food safety, and product conformity certification. This wealth of experience is evident in our founders' CVs and published articles. We are ready to put this expertise to your use. Whether you're a food production company, a retailer delivering these products to consumers, or a restaurant operating in the food service sector, we provide consulting services for compliance with quality, food safety, and product conformity standards across all food processes. Furthermore, if you wish to offer your product in organized retail or restaurant chains, we offer consulting support for all aspects of product development, quality assurance, supplier compliance, and purchasing during this transition.

Genç ve Natürel prioritizes ensuring its innovative products comply with all sustainability criteria. Therefore, it boasts a deep knowledge base and a broad social network in this field. Its founders possess both academic and industrial experience in sustainability. This expertise can be seen in their CVs and published articles. We are ready to put this capacity to your use. We provide training and consulting services based on accepted sustainability standards across the food value chain. We can conduct life cycle assessments (LCA) for all your processes, from door-to-door to cradle-to-grave. We also offer sustainability standard calculation, verification, and consulting services for the food industry, including product carbon footprint, product water footprint, product exergy calculations, and scope 1 and 2 carbon inventory calculations.

Genç ve Natürel prioritizes ensuring that its innovative products comply with the applicable legislation of the target country. We have gained the necessary knowledge in this field, particularly through collaboration with experienced experts in EU project preparation. We are ready to put this capacity to your use. We provide consulting services on the compliance of newly developed food and beverages with both national and EU legislation. Furthermore, we offer scientific research services on the compliance of innovative food and beverage products with EFSA directives regarding existing and/or potential risks associated with the food value chain, and we organize meetings with experts.

Genç ve Natürel produces its innovative products from various biomass substrates using advanced biotechnology techniques. Its entire production and research processes are based on designing, producing, and marketing innovative products using various fermentation techniques in various environments. As an organization, we possess the research and production capabilities in both solid culture and liquid culture fermentation environments. With our experienced academic staff, we are ready to provide technical support at all stages of development, from concept development to pilot scale, in many areas of biotechnology.

If you're interested in developing and producing products using fermentation, please contact us directly. Whether using solid-state fermentation or submerged fermentation, we offer support in all stages of fermentation, from the establishment, development, optimization, and conversion of mold, yeast, bacteria, or their symbioses to the final product.

We provide support for the isolation and production of starter cultures from our collection of isolated cultures from different local fermented foods and beverages or from a traditional fermented food that you want to produce with starter culture, and bring it to the pilot stage at TRL 6 level.

We're working on alternative protein production from various plant sources or mold mycelia. We're quite proficient in this area, and we've even participated in EU projects thanks to this capacity. We're ready to share our experience with anyone interested in working in this field.

At our GVD café, we introduce your new product to customers and incorporate feedback into the product, increasing customer acceptance. With Co-Creation, we connect consumers with the product idea from the very beginning of the design process (creating the product concept), and with Living Lab, we complete prototype testing or final validation before launch.
