Food
Since its foundation in 1952, Adeste has built its history by combining vision and creativity to generate value from alternative raw materials. With this innovative outlook, our business began with the company Kraki, developing solutions for the food industry.
Over more than seven decades, we have consolidated and expanded our operations in the segment, always preserving the values and transformation bias that drive us. Today, in our facilities, we produce a wide range of solutions in texture, color, flavor and food preservation.
Learn more about our solutions:
Kraki
Kraki, the company that gave rise to our group, began its activities by selling natural casings and, with a close eye on the needs of that then emerging market, launched products that became a reference in the sector and are still used today due to their reliability and technology. Thus, we actively participate in the development of the food market, being pioneers in the construction of a pilot plant and in the development of a complete line of additives. We continue to tirelessly innovate and participate in the creation of the future, producing solutions in ingredients and additives, with a focus on processed meats, dairy products and ice cream, customized to meet market demands.
Annato
Widely used in Brazil, annatto dye has a historical tradition that dates back to the indigenous peoples. Present in several food categories, Kraki was a pioneer in its introduction for use in processed meats such as sausages. With our restless innovative outlook, we created the Verto business unit in 2003. There we extract annatto pigments, as well as other active ingredients that are important for the pharmaceutical market. Benefiting from Kraki’s experience and technology, we process these pigments to generate different coloring solutions. On our model farm in Rondônia, part of the seeds are planted and managed with strict quality control, ensuring excellence throughout the supply chain. In addition, we purchase seeds from local farmers, supporting family farming in the region.
