DSM Food Specialties Introduces Comprehensive Yoghurt Culture Portfolio

This highly versatile portfolio offers yoghurt manufacturers the flexibility to create any type of yoghurt and enables them to better respond to consumer demands.

8 Sep 2009 --- DSM Food Specialties has extended and optimised its DELVO-YOG range of cultures, which are specifically developed for yoghurt applications. This highly versatile portfolio offers yoghurt manufacturers the flexibility to create any type of yoghurt and enables them to better respond to consumer demands.

Commenting on these latest developments, Qi Zhang, Product Manager Cultures,DSM Food Specialties, said, “Whether a staple food, a convenient, healthy snack or a rich indulgent treat, there is a yoghurt to satisfy every consumer preference.  Our DELVO-YOG cultures allow manufacturers to meet a wide variety of needs.

“To better communicate each culture’s benefits and for ease of selection of the best DELVO-YOG culture, we have structured the range into five groups based on the most common yoghurt types produced globally – Authentic, Traditional Style, Infinite, Set Velvet and Flow Velvet.  The cultures within each group share similar properties.  Plus, our team of experts work closely with customers to develop every type of yoghurt – whatever the requirement.

“For greater flexibility, we have also added new cultures to the DELVO-YOG Set Velvet and Flow Velvet groups. Cultures which focus on a product’s texture properties without compromising a mild flavour and clean taste have been introduced to the Set Velvet range.  These deliver a yoghurt which is smooth after stirring and has a rich, creamy mouthfeel.  And, in the Flow Velvet group, cultures which provide increased viscosity, enhanced smoothness, sheen, and creamy texture are now part of our offer.”
