DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences announced the global launch of its YO-Mix Prime cultures series. These cultures set a new industry standard for yogurt manufacturers around the world.

The new solution helps them to address the multiple challenges they are facing: offering ultimate mildness combined with premium texture, maintaining quality throughout challenging distribution channels, reducing the addition of sugar, saving formulation costs and enhancing process flexibility. The yogurt cultures were developed to create ultimate mildness and premium texture for consumers – and provide a new level of indulgence in yogurt.

The cultures can help yogurt manufacturers to save formulation costs by reducing the amount of skimmed-milk powder added to boost the yogurt texture, enable them to add less sugar while keeping the same sweetness perception and maintain product quality throughout challenging distribution channels with variations in storage temperature.

The series’ advantages include a full pH control that also allows for more process flexibility – due to full control of the acidity before cooling and packaging. This process flexibility provides options for higher production output and less yogurt waste.
