ACS Technology® aka Mionix CO., is focused on platform based biotechnology, dedicated to creating innovative technology, products, and solutions for food safety and agribusiness, using Acidic Calcium Sulfate® (ACS).


Acidic Calcium Sulfate® (ACS) also known as Acidified Calcium Sulfate® is the foundation for a family of FDA and USDA approved products, and most recently proven effective as a Kosher Ingredient Dairy Substitue and other food, animal feed and pet food products.

This new product " ACS 100 " aka 'Acidic Calcium Sulfate" is FDA and USDA Approved & Permitted as a Food Additive.  As well as a desired acidulant for foods, it also effectively inhibits microbial growth and substantially reduce pathogen contamination levels, specifically Salmonella in food & pet food, with a 3-4 log reduction, thus making ACS Technology a leader in food safety.

         
What can "ACS 100 " Kosher Acidulant Ingredient do?

  • "ACS" / Acidic Calcium Sulfate helps make human food safer by preventing the attachment and re-attachment of Salmonella and othe pathogens. ( ie: Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes,Campylobacter, and  E.coli O157:H7 )    
  • Increase Shelf Life: "ACS" helps food last longer by reducing spoilage or decaying bacteria, with a 4 log reduction at post lethality and extended shelf life from continued outgrowth control. ( Food can last longer resulting in reduced losses from spoilage, producing better financial returns and providing an increase in market distribution opportunities.)
  • "NO" taste or ordor issues, "ACS" actually inhances product flavors.
  • Significantly reduces or eliminates mold.
  • "ACS" helps provide reduced "D-value", the relationship between time and temperature required to cook food to ensure harmful bacteria are killed.
  • Temperature abuse protection.  "D" Value and temperature abuse protection are ONLY available in foods that contains "ACS", Acidic Calcium Sulfate.   
  • "ACS" aids in making food more nutritious by calcium enrichment. Additionally, "ACS 100" can extend products' value by aiding in making the food more nutritious through calcium enrichment. ( Calcium enrichment is in demand and unlike most calcium in food today, the body absorbs calcium more easily, a true competitive advantage.)
