Customization

Chr. Hansen's starts the development of successful bacterial cultures for the dairy industry by understanding the needs and wants of our customers. Only this way we can select and develop strains that deliver superior performance in the final product.

Finding the right culture for a customer application often includes the simplification of a process or adding an attribute of value to the end consumer: Optimal speed of acidification, reaching target viscosity or developing a new flavor profile of the final dairy product, are just some examples of adding value. In this process our scientists will screen the vast Chr Hansen culture collection to find the perfect solution.

Testing in various scales

In order to meet these challenges, experimental starter cultures are tested in various scales, ranging from microtiter to mini-dairy in our Application and Technology Center - a state of the art facility mimicking industrial conditions.

As final proof of concept before customer tests, our trained taste panel assess the dairy products produced with the culture solution(s).

Simplified production with Chr. Hansen's starter cultures

Starter cultures from Chr Hansen have simplified the production of dairy products such as fermented milks and all kinds of cheese, and also improved the product quality experienced by the end-consumer.

Behind this success lies a careful selection and compounding of lactic acid bacteria by our development and application specialists into ready-to-use starter cultures.
