Our cellobiose
Cellobiose is the basic building block of cellulose and a purely plant-based renewable resource. In nature, cellobiose occurs in pine needles, honey, and corn. In production, we mainly rely on sugar beet as raw material source. Cellobiose is not only characterized by the fact that it is very similar to lactose. Due to its special technological properties, it can be used in many ways: from food to non-food segments and from cosmetics to fine chemicals.
A real all-rounder

Is cellobiose biodegradable?
The test to determine the biodegradability of cellobiose was conducted ... read moreThe test to determine the biodegradability of cellobiose was conducted by an accredited contract laboratory in accordance with an internationally recognised OECD testing method: the Zahn-Wellens-Test (method: 302 B: 1992). The Zahn-Wellens-Test is described in the Test Methods Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part C, Method C.9 for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
The test results showed that cellobiose is 100 % biodegradable.
Is cellobiose gluten-free?

Our Cellobiose is gluten-free. In no part of our operations do we use or add wheat, rye, barley, oats, or any of their by-products. We would be happy to send you a copy of our gluten statement if required.
Is cellobiose available as an organic product?
Following the entry into force of the new European organic regulation ... read moreFollowing the entry into force of the new European organic regulation VO (EU) 2018/848 on 01.01.2022, the production of organic food using ion exchange and absorption resin processes is only possible in exceptional cases (art. 23 Regulation (EU) 2020/464 and art. 7 Regulation (EU) 2018/848). Currently, the production of cellobiose is not feasible without the use of these processes.
For this reason, we are unfortunately unable to offer organic cellobiose in the EU.

Funding project
SAVANNA is engaged in work on functional carbohydrates, in particular cellobiose, and was supported by a publicly sponsored project. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture in Germany is supporting the research project in the context of a national initiative to reduce the consumption of fat, salt and sugar.
„Was sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture by resolution of the German parliament.“
