Concentrated bifidobacteria biomass: a foundation for developing effective products
Bifidobacteria are a natural component of the human microbiota. Their strains are used as functional raw materials in dietary supplements, food products and cosmetics.
Supporting microbiota balance
Bifidobacteria are a natural component of the intestinal microbiota and are used in probiotic supplements to support its natural balance.
Source of probiotic cultures
Strains of the genus Bifidobacterium are traditionally used as a source of probiotic cultures in food and pharmaceutical formulations.
Supporting normal digestion
They participate in metabolic processes in the intestine and are used in supplements intended to support the normal functioning of the digestive system.
Supporting nutrient absorption
Bifidobacterium strains are used in formulations designed to support the absorption of vitamins and minerals from food.
Importance for the Body’s Daily Functioning
Probiotic microorganisms are natural representatives of the human microbiota and traditional food fermentation cultures used in dietary supplements.
Depending on the genus, they colonise different parts of the digestive tract or are used outside the body in the production of fermented foods.
They serve as core cultures for a wide range of fermented products, including fermented dairy products, cheeses and silage, as well as probiotic dietary supplements.
For industrial use, the key parameters include strain stability during cultivation, resistance to processing conditions such as temperature, pH and freeze-drying, and compliance with CFU requirements.
Strain-specific characteristics determine whether a culture is suitable for a particular production process.
01.Fermentation Activity
Produce organic acids that affect the pH of the fermentation environment
02.Strain-Specific Stability
Resistance to cultivation and storage conditions varies between strains
03.Compatibility in Formulations
Used individually or in combination with other probiotic cultures
04.Controlled Concentration and Properties
Viability is confirmed through laboratory testing at every stage of production; specific parameters depend on the genus and strain

Planning to Purchase or Develop a Bifidobacteria-Based Product?
Bifidobacterium is one of the key genera of probiotic microorganisms that naturally colonise the human intestine from the first days of life. Strains of this genus are traditionally used as core cultures in dietary supplements and probiotic products.
BTU Pharma carries out full-cycle cultivation of bifidobacteria biomass — from strain cultivation to a ready-to-use raw material form.
Production includes laboratory control of the concentration of viable cells (CFU).
Benefits of working with BTU Pharma:
- More than 25 years of experience in cultivating probiotic microorganisms.
- Deposited strains with confirmed origin.
- Flexible supply formats: concentrate, freeze-dried material, bulk and OEM.
- Laboratory quality control at every stage of production.
