Balchem unveils StabiliPro for enhancing probiotic stability, shelf life
The global probiotics industry, currently valued at US$73 billion, is expected to reach US$110 billion by 2030, driven by consumer demand for gut health.
USA – Balchem has announced the launch of StabiliPro, a new excipient portfolio developed to stabilize probiotic formulations and extend product shelf life.
Designed to address key formulation challenges in the growing probiotic market, StabiliPro helps maintain the viability of probiotics, which are highly sensitive to harsh processing and high-moisture environments.
By preserving microbial integrity over time, the excipient enables manufacturers to reduce probiotic “overages”, the extra quantities added to compensate for deterioration, while supporting clean-label formulations.
According to Josephine Nakhla, Strategic Marketing and Business Development Manager at Balchem, Powders & Cereal, the launch reinforces the company’s mission to deliver innovative, science-based solutions.
“The probiotics market is growing rapidly and shows no signs of slowing down, so solutions like StabiliPro are essential in ensuring that functional food, beverage, and dietary supplement innovators can achieve effective, cost-efficient formulations to meet the demands of today’s health-conscious consumers,” she said.
“Building on decades of particle engineering expertise, StabiliPro is an exciting addition to our already extensive portfolio of food and beverage ingredient solutions.”
The global probiotics industry, currently valued at US$73 billion, is expected to reach US$110 billion by 2030, driven by consumer demand for gut health, immunity, and overall wellness.
As more consumers adopt preventive approaches to health, probiotics are becoming key ingredients in functional foods, beverages, and dietary supplements.
However, ensuring probiotic stability throughout processing and storage remains one of the biggest hurdles for manufacturers.
Balchem’s StabiliPro platform provides a practical, science-backed solution to these challenges, offering manufacturers greater formulation flexibility, longer shelf life, and reduced production waste.
Its clean-label design aligns with consumer preferences for transparency and simplicity in ingredient lists.
The introduction of StabiliPro marks another milestone in Balchem’s continued expansion of its health and nutrition portfolio.
The company, known for its leadership in microencapsulation and specialty nutrition ingredients, continues to build on its innovation pipeline — most recently with its OptiMSM earning Japan’s first Food with Functional Claims approval for an MSM ingredient.
With StabiliPro, Balchem strengthens its position as a trusted partner for formulators seeking stability, efficiency, and quality in probiotic product development.
The innovation will make its debut at SupplySide Global 2025, taking place from October 27 to 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Balchem experts will present the science behind the range in a session titled “StabiliPro Advantage: Unlocking More Shelf-Stable Probiotic Formulations.”
