Located in the Changling Industrial Zone II, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, Nanchang Tellcan Food Science Co.,Ltd. is ranked among the "Top 100 Enterprises in China's Food Additives and Food Ingredients Industry".
Our organization specializes in the deep research and development, high-throughput manufacturing, and international distribution of advanced food additives. By merging biochemical engineering with digital processing technologies, Tellcan provides global food producers with optimal clean label preservation systems, stabilizer complexes, and functional ingredients.
Guided by our foundational principle, "people-oriented, technology-driven," we build high-stability solutions designed to overcome oxidative, microbial, and structural challenges in foods and beverages globally.
Cultured dextrose is a biological preservation ingredient created through controlled fermentation of dextrose substrates with food-grade lactic acid bacteria (predominantly Propionibacterium freudenreichii or related taxonomic classes). This biochemical route naturally synthesizes functional organic metabolites, including propionic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, and active bacteriocins.
Unlike synthetic preservatives that universally disrupt osmotic balance (such as calcium propionate or potassium sorbate), cultured dextrose works selectively. The natural organic acids in undissociated forms penetrate the cell walls of molds, yeasts, and Gram-negative pathogens. Once inside the neutral cytoplasm, they dissociate, lowering internal pH, exhausting cellular ATP pumps, and stopping microbial cell division.
Food-grade starch is enzymatically converted to high-purity dextrose to prepare the fermentation feed.
Inoculation with proprietary strains. Critical parameters (pH, temp, DO) are monitored continuously via smart controls.
Thermal processing deactivates live cultures while preserving structural organic acids and bacteriocins.
Traditional manufacturing relies on batch fermentation with long cycle times and variable yields. Tellcan's research facility works on multi-stage continuous fermentation strategies. By integrating membrane filtration bioreactors, we achieve high cell-density cultivation, which raises target organic acid concentration before drying. This method reduces heat load, keeps the product highly soluble, and ensures reliable batch-to-batch preservation performance.
Future development aims at carrier optimization. While standard cultured dextrose uses dextrose or starch carriers, Tellcan is researching maltodextrin-free, low-glycemic, and fiber-derived bases. This will allow brands to maintain clean declarations while reducing total sugar contribution, aligning with current sugar-reduction trends.
Supported by a robust technical team, Tellcan operates advanced pilot production lines, precision analytical R&D laboratories, and rigorous quality control stations. The company is certified under the HACCP & ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System, verifying the reliability of our food ingredient supply chains.
Our commitment to technical innovation has resolved formulation and stabilization issues for thousands of food and beverage companies, earning us several industrial awards and academic designations:
Maintains emulsion stability in acidic dairy systems and prevents mold development without altering delicate milk proteins. Protects taste and extends shelf life.
Acts as a direct replacement for synthetic calcium propionate. Stops mold growth in sliced bread, tortillas, and pastries, while preserving yeast viability during baking.
Controls Listeria monocytogenes and other spoilage microorganisms in processed meats, offering clean-label food safety compliance.
Every Tellcan formulation is developed with globally sourced raw materials, scientifically compounded, and processed to high quality standards. Our product performance is verified through commercial application across diverse distribution networks.
