DSM has unveiled its first portfolio of all-in-one cultures for fermented milk products, which was developed using its new AI-powered ‘Culture Co-Creation Platform’.

The new platform provides dairy manufacturers with access to “next-generation” technology and scientific expertise to create holistic solutions that are designed to be used as one combined solution rather than distinct cultures. DSM claims that the platform also “improves accuracy and speed of dairy producers’ new product development by reducing trial complexity during the culture selection process”.

The DelvoOne portfolio is made up of five culture blends offering taste, texture and health benefits – all with built in bioprotection. 

The five culture blends are DelvoOne Alpha and DelvoOne Gamma, offering taste, texture and bioprotective benefits; DelvoOne Alpha-B and DelvoOne Gamma-B, which also contain the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis lactis Bif-6; and DelvoOne Zeta-C, containing the probiotic strain Lacticaseibacillus casei L26.

Sarita Bairoliya, global business manager at DSM, said: “We are excited to offer customers a simplified culture selection process with five all-in-one blends to help create market-leading yogurts”.

Bairoliya added: “With DSM’s Culture Co-Creation Platform and our new DelvoOne portfolio, we are helping dairy manufacturers gain improved control over the sensory, technical and shelf-life properties of yogurts all at once, saving valuable time and resources. With 100+ years in biotechnology, we have now taken the next step in combining machine learning with DSM’s team of experts.”
