06 Aug 2019 --- Enzyme producer Novozymes has developed a free online tool to help dairy companies to reduce the amount of added sugars in their products. The calculator asks for the lactose and sucrose content of a yogurt or a flavored milk, which it then uses to calculate how much sucrose could be reduced with the use of Saphera, the company’s enzyme solution. Saphera breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, resulting in sugars that are almost 50 percent sweeter, reducing the overall amount of added sugar or sweeteners. Novozymes notes that this calculator will help companies to respond to consumer demands for healthier foods.
