Crazy ideas for healthy innovation

Join Chr. Hansen’s innovation ride at FI Europe 2013 in Frankfurt, Germany, on November 19-21.

“Hey – why don’t we remove 50% of salt in cheese?”

A crazy idea – yet it resulted in the launch of SaltLite™, a breakthrough ingredient innovation enabling cheese producers to cut sodium content by up to 50% while maintaining great taste and texture.

The new concept is a combination of the cheese coagulant CHY-MAX® M for improved texture and reduced bitterness and specifically selected DVS® starter and adjunct cultures to enhance the flavor profile of reduced sodium cheese. SaltLite™ (Dairy Innovation Award finalist) is just one new invention showcased by Chr. Hansen at this year’s FIE:

  • FreshQ®
    Protective culture fighting yeast and mold in fresh dairy products in an all-natural way. Saves you money and protects your brand! (Dairy Innovation Award finalist)
  • nu-trish® Pro-K®
    The world’s first probiotic that supports bone health through a natural high production of vitamin K2. Create tasty dairy concepts to target the attractive segments of mature women and growing kids.
  • YoFlex® and nu-trish® SoGreek
    Yogurt as Greek as it gets – outside Greece. New yogurt cultures with original culture from the island of Crete – for modern, yet authentic high protein yogurt. Available with BB-12®.
  • FullFlavor®
    New cheese ripening cultures - the tool for cheese sensory signature!
  • SafePro® ImPorous
    New meat culture improves quality in cooked whole muscle products where pore formation is minimized through the significant reduction of gas producing bacteria. (Meat Innovation Award finalist)
  • WhiteWhey®
    “The color of money” – a beta carotene cheese coloring alternative to annatto with an 85-95% reduction in color transfer to the whey. Eliminates the step of removing color residues!
  • FruitMax®
    We have expanded the popular FruitMax® family of coloring foodstuffs so we now offer approx. 100 visually enticing shades for clean label application in industries such as Beverage, Confectionery, Dairy, Ice cream and Prepared foods
