A&B Ingredients Expands Rowanberry-Based Preservation Solutions Across Food and Beverage Categories

A&B Ingredients, a leading supplier of clean-label functional and preservation ingredients, is expanding the use of its Rowanberry-based preservation technologies across a wider range of food and beverage applications. The company's natural preservation systems offer manufacturers an effective alternative to synthetic additives while supporting clean label formulation goals and simplified ingredient declarations.

Rowanberry-based solutions are now being applied across sauces, prepared meals, beverages, dairy and non-dairy products, refrigerated foods, and nutrition categories. These systems help maintain product freshness, quality, and shelf life while meeting growing consumer demand for natural, recognizable ingredients.

This expansion follows MillBio's recent merger with Cain Foods, which strengthens clean-label preservation and ingredient capabilities for industrial bakery customers throughout North America. Together, A&B Ingredients and MillBio are accelerating the availability of natural preservation technologies across broader food and beverage markets.

"Our focus is on helping manufacturers meet the rising demand for cleaner labels without compromising performance or shelf life," said Gil Bakal. Rowanberry-based preservation systems open new opportunities to replace artificial additives with natural alternatives. Through our collaboration with MillBio, we are bringing these innovations to a wider range of applications across North America."

Rowanberry extract is part of A&B Ingredients' portfolio of natural preservation solutions designed to support shelf life extension, food safety, and food waste reduction. Available in both liquid and powdered formats, these systems are engineered to meet diverse formulation and processing needs.

A&B Ingredients continues to partner with manufacturers through technical support and application development, delivering practical clean-label preservation strategies tailored to evolving product and processing requirements.
