Fermenta Biotech Partners With VIT for Vitamin B12 Technology

In a significant development, Fermenta Biotech has entered into an Exclusive Licence Agreement with Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, to commercialise technology aimed at naturally increasing Vitamin B12 levels in fermented foods.

The technology is protected under Indian Patent Application No. 202441015300 and was developed by Krishnan Venkataraman and his team at VIT Vellore's Centre for BioSeparation Technology (CBST).

Unlike conventional fortification methods that add Vitamin B12 to food after processing, the technology is designed to enable Vitamin B12 enrichment during the natural fermentation process itself. This could offer a differentiated approach to developing nutritionally enhanced fermented food products.

The upcoming development phase will focus on application development, nutritional validation, determining Vitamin B12 levels, regulatory assessments and creating commercially feasible solutions for targeted food applications.

The technology could find applications across several sectors, including FMCG, food and nutrition, nutraceuticals and healthcare-related products. Fermenta Biotech plans to utilise its existing expertise to scale the technology into accessible premixes and fortified food solutions.

The collaboration represents an industry-academia initiative focused on developing practical solutions to address Vitamin B12 and other nutritional deficiencies.

Fermenta Biotech has an expanding nutrition portfolio that includes customised premixes, Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK) and other nutritional ingredients. The company is also recognised as one of the world's leading manufacturers of Vitamin D3.
