Chr. Hansen is a world leader of probiotics and natural colours for food and dietary supplements – multiple dosage forms for various applications–focus areas; gastro-intestinal, immune, women’s health and children’s health. Probio-Tec BB-12 and LGG strains, alone or in combination. In a move to combine indulgence and health Chr. Hansen recently incorporated cheese as vehicle for well-reputed probiotic cultures like BB12, LA5 and L.Casei 431. Chr. Hansen’s probiotic cultures are suitable for cottage cheese, Continental cheese types and cheddar cheese types. These ‘ordinary’ cheeses make very good carriers of probiotic cultures due to favourable conditions for probiotic bacteria. Various other types are not suitable for addition of probiotic cultures due to a high processing temperature or a long maturation time.
