DSM has introduced a new range of freeze-dried cultures for set yogurt formats. The new Delvo cultures are said to allow for more texture and flavour variations in set yogurts and result in reduced levels of liquid whey over shelf life. Since the new freeze-dried Delvo culture range may be transported at ambient temperatures, DSM says it saves energy and enables more distribution options.
Set yogurt is an appealing product for many consumers in the Middle East, where DSM launched the new product, because of its healthy appeal, naturalness and authentic characteristics. This new range of freeze-dried Delvo cultures was developed to address local and regional different taste and texture preferences. It provides more options for set yogurts with firmer textures and flavours, ranging from mild to authentic. An added benefit of this new range is that it results in no or reduced levels of undesirable liquid whey over shelf life, which contributes to improved consumer quality perception.Producers of set yogurt also benefit from the production characteristics specific to these freeze-dried cultures. Handling these cultures is claimed to be easier and more cost-effective. The cultures are also said to deliver a fast fermentation result, allowing more flexibility in production and decreased processing time. Furthermore, the low post acidification properties are claimed to result in a stable set yogurt that is optimally conserved during its shelf life, even in challenging storage conditions.“We are proud to deliver a range of unique, freeze-dried cultures which can target different consumer preferences within the Middle East region, while at the same time enabling yogurt producers to improve the environmental footprint of their set yogurt production,” said Rolando Saltini, EMEA Marketing Manager for Cultures at DSM Food Specialties. “The cultures perfectly match consumer demand for natural and high-quality set yogurts, with limited undesirable liquid whey on the top of the yogurt, as well as a robust texture”.Related news
