DSM Launches Cultures for Pasta Filata Cheeses
They produce more cheese for the same investment, ensure manufacturers can work worry-free with unrelated strains, maintain the original cheese taste, plus they are offered in convenient customised packaging formats.
26/09/08 DELVO-TEC TS-80 is a new range of thermophilic cultures from DSM Food Specialties.
Developed specifically for Pasta Filata cheese, these cultures deliver a number of important benefits. They produce more cheese for the same investment, ensure manufacturers can work worry-free with unrelated strains, maintain the original cheese taste, plus they are offered in convenient customised packaging formats to support manufacturers’ needs.
DELVO-TEC TS-80 cultures are from the DIRECT-SET(2) range and are Streptococcus thermophilus defined strain blends. A complete range of cultures are included in the DELVO-TEC TS-80 range, all of which have similar acidification profiles. They work by initially producing high levels of acid rapidly. By using these cultures manufacturers can increase production speed while maintaining quality. DELVO-TEC TS-80 cultures are also unrelated to any phage of commercially available strains. As a result, they help tackle the two key issues of Pasta Filata cheese production – speed of acidification and yield – to ensure uninterrupted cheese manufacture.
Kris Ferguson, Product Manager Cultures, DSM Food Specialties, said, “We work closely with our customers to understand the issues they face. Speed is of the essence when producing Pasta Filata cheese and manufacturers need cultures which enable them to develop as much cheese in the shortest possible timeframe. The DELVO-TEC TS-80 cultures enable them to do just that. Plus they maintain the required taste and texture profile, are easy to use and guarantee consistent cheese production, whatever the milk type. The DELVO-TEC TS-80 cultures deliver a cost-effective solution to the challenges of Pasta Filata cheese production. These latest introductions to our cultures portfolio once again demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the dairy industry.”
