DuPont Nutrition & Health launches new CHOOZIT ® cheese cultures
Drawing on its long history of innovation and expertise in the
development of dairy cultures, DuPont Nutrition & Health has announced
the introduction of two cheese cultures for use in soft-ripened cheese
making. These new DuPont Danisco ® CHOOZIT ® brand cheese
cultures, CHOOZIT ® ST 20 and CHOOZIT ® PC FAST, are specifically
designed to optimise production and consistently produce high-quality
soft-ripened cheese.
“Consumers prefer soft-ripened cheese with a nice and stable white
surface and soft texture,” explains Annie Mornet, global product leader,
Cheese Cultures. “While cheese manufacturers want to satisfy these
consumer desires throughout a cheese’s shelf life, they also want to
maintain a high throughput level. These objectives don’t always align.”
Controlling acidification and rind formation times are essential in making consistent, high-quality, soft-ripened cheese.
CHOOZIT ® ST 20 and CHOOZIT ® PC FAST cheese cultures address these challenges. CHOOZIT ® PC FAST cultures offer
more rapid development of stable white rind, enabling packaging to begin earlier. And CHOOZIT ® ST 20 cultures offer
direct vat inoculation in the milk with an early and controlled acidification to achieve the desired cheese texture “Another
benefit of CHOOZIT ® ST 20 cultures is a significant reduction in the risk of phage issues,” said Mornet. “This helps our
customers maintain consistent cheese production times and optimise yield, while maintaining a high standard of cheese
quality and food safety.”
CHOOZIT ® brand cheese cultures and all DuPont Danisco ® brand cultures are supported through a global network of
food scientists and dairy technologists with unique know-how and experience across the cheese and dairy industry.
Additionally, DuPont production facilities dedicated to soft-ripening cheese cultures located in France ensures optimal
management of production and functionalities. This combination of resources gives dairy manufacturers the ability to
deliver unparalleled consumer value to the marketplace with their cheese products. No matter which cheese process is
being used by dairy manufacturers, DuPont has the right combination of skills, expertise and ingredients to deliver a
complete solution for specialty and industrial cheeses.
DuPont Nutrition & Health addresses the world’s challenges in food by offering a wide range of sustainable, bio-based
ingredients and advanced molecular diagnostic solutions to provide safer, healthier and more nutritious food. Through close
collaboration with customers, DuPont combines knowledge and experience with a passion for innovation to deliver
unparalleled customer value to the marketplace. More information is available at www.food.dupont.com. n
