Take cheese shelf life and scrap reduction to the next level
Reducing scrap and extending cheese shelf life helps you get more from your inputs. The result is next-level profitability and sustainability.
Lower emissions and higher profitability
Tackling scrap and waste doesn’t just get you closer to your greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. It can also help to power your profitability. Our biosolutions help extend cheese shelf life and reduce scrap levels. All while ensuring your cheese has the next-level quality that people love.
Next-level quality and trust with FreshQ®
A white cheese producer faced severe consumer complaints about mold and was losing market share. After adding Novonesis’ FreshQ® consumer complaints disappeared, time to spoilage doubled, flavor integrity was preserved, and the producer regained and secured market share.
Next-level cheese conversion with Chy-Max® Supreme
Novonesis’ Chy-Max® Supreme delivers a range of scrap reduction benefits. Continental cheese producers have seen up to 40% fewer losses during conversion. They've also seen up to 30% less variation on sliced weight. Chy-Max® also delivers better texture for thinner slicing so producers can get more from their inputs.
Next-level cheesemaking with our combinations
Across cheese types, combinations of biosolutions can take shelf-life extension and scrap reduction to the next level. Below you can explore just some of the combinations of cultures and enzymatic coagulants we offer.
Pasta filata combination
Chy-Max® Supreme delivers full functionality for longer to support an extended shelf life and conversion window. It also gives you better slicing, dicing and shredding properties for lower conversion losses. And you can combine Chy-Max® Supreme with Novonesis’ Sinergia or any of our other starter cultures to achieve next-level production efficiency.
White brined cheese combination
Getting the balance of flavor, texture, and spoilage prevention just right is a challenge for white brined cheesemakers. Overcome the challenge with a combination of Novonesis’ Chy-Max® Extra, White Flora, White Classic and FreshQ® Cheese. They help unlock cheese with an extended shelf life and sensory attributes that people love.
Chy-Max® Extra
This high-quality coagulant optimizes production across various cheese types, including white-brined cheeses such as feta.
F-DVS® White Flora
This starter culture system delivers rich, bold aromatic flavors. It ensures consistent quality in both regular and ultrafiltered milk.
DVS® White Classic
Specifically designed for white-brined cheeses, DVS® White Classic delivers optimal flavor, texture, and production efficiency.
FreshQ® Cheese
By adding FreshQ® Cheese cultures to your fermentation process, you can reduce scrap and improve the quality of your white-brined cheeses.
Continental cheese combination
Chy-Max® Supreme supports extended shelf life and boosts cheese conversion flexibility by slowing casein degradation. That ensures stable texture and good machineability. For continental cheese producers, that means a 65% longer conversion window, with shelf life increased from two to three months. And you can get even more from your inputs in continental cheese production by combining Chy-Max® Supreme with one of the series in the Novonesis’ Easy-Set® Flora™ culture range. With highly consistent performance and phage-robust rotations, they keep your production running smoothly, week after week.
Avoid late blowing in continental cheeses
Late blowing leads to flavor and visual defects, making it one of the major causes of spoilage in semi-hard and hard ripened cheeses. It’s caused by the outgrowth of clostridia spores. Novonesis’ BioSafe™ reduces the risk of late blowing so you can take your scrap reduction to the next level.
BioSafe™
Help prevent the outgrowth of Clostridia in continental-type cheese with BioSafe™ fermentation-enabled bioprotection cultures. They remain alive and active right through your cheese’s maturation and shelf-life period. Which means your product’s quality is enhanced throughout shelf life.
Tvorog combination
Compared to other market-leading cultures, Novonesis’ eXact® Fit series improves production efficiency through increased yields and decreased fermentation times. And by combining it with FreshQ® Cheese, you can reduce the risk of yeast and mold through shelf life while maintaining the sensory properties that people love in tvorog.
Less risk of antibiotic residues, more consistency
Antibiotic residues can interfere with the fermentation process, along with product taste and texture. That’s why we offer fast, easy-to-operate and robust tests, incubators and portable readers, tied together by a web service for intuitive, traceable documentation.
We also have biosolutions for shelf-life extension in fermented milk that deliver benefits right across the value chain.
