RFI’s state-of-the-art fermentation facility also can perform custom fermentation of any dry material, such as grains, grasses, seeds, vegetables and fruits using a variety of health-promoting bacterial or yeast cultures. The resulting fermented material is then drum-dried and milled in the same facility.
“An example of how fermentation improves digestibility is the fermentation of cereal grasses," said Jeff Wuagneux, president and CEO of RFI. “While ruminant animals such as cows and horses have a separate gut compartment filled with lactic acid microorganisms to digest the cellulose, humans cannot digest cellulose. Fermenting cereal grasses with lactic acid microorganisms may help break down cereal grasses and make them more digestible."
