Find your low sugar sweet spot with cultures and enzymes from Chr. Hansen

In a market driven by taste and quality concerns, where healthy and natural options are quickly becoming the standard, yogurt makers are challenged to create wholesome, nutritious and tasty food products without added sugar or artificial sweeteners. According to Euromonitor (2021), 1 in 2 consumers are cutting sugar for weight loss, and 57% of consumers in their 2020 survey believe avoiding sugar “makes me feel better”.

At Chr. Hansen, we aim to offer solutions that help dairies rise to this challenge by creating products that are delicious and flavorful. We are pleased to introduce Sweety® Y-3, the newest culture in our proprietary Sweety® range which rounds out our portfolio of culture and enzymes solutions that help dairy producers balance their recipes and find their low-sugar sweet spot.

With Sweety® Y-3 it is now possible to cut the sugar, and keep the sweetness, allowing consumers to not have to compromise on great taste in order to stay healthy. Sweety® is an innovative and patented sugar reduction solution founded on principles of fermentation. The culture works by consuming galactose coming from lactose and excreting glucose during the fermentation process. The sweetness of the final product is thus increased, reducing the need for added sugar.

Our sugar reduction solutions naturally reduce or remove lactose to enhance the perception of sweetness while preserving the traditional flavor of dairy. In addition to Sweety®, our sugar reduction portfolio includes NOLA® Fit and Ha-Lactase™ enzymes.  In the cultures category, Chr. Hansen also offers its YoFlex® range, mild cultures which boast superior pH stability and reduce the need for added sugar that might otherwise be added to compensate for increasing acidity during shelf life.

Chr. Hansen’s solutions are inspired by nature and enable dairy producers to significantly reduce the sugar content of their products while ensuring authentic taste and texture. To find out more, visit our website or contact us.

NEW AFFINITY® INTEGRA-D CHEESE DICER: U.S.D.A., DAIRY DIVISION ACCEPTED

Following the success of our large Affinity® cheese dicer, the new Integra-D offers processors all of the advantages in a scaled-down footprint. The Integra-D provides the latest in precision cutting, and a turn-key upgrade for processors with Urschel RA series machines. Updating a line could not be simpler, and the benefits derived from higher yields is a bonus.

The Integra-D is Urschel’s newest addition to the Affinity line. The high-performance dicer features operation at the push of a button. The machine is designed with the cutting zone completely separate from the mechanical zone. Hinged access panels ease maintenance and part changeovers. The dicer is powered by a 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) motor.

“Superior sanitation, quick part changeovers, and heavy duty are terms customers use to describe the new Integra-D cheese dicer,” according to Scott Klockow, Mechanical Design Manager. “Customers replacing an RA machine with the Integra-D have experienced 20 to even 50 percent higher capacities due to the larger infeed and increased horsepower.”

The new three-dimensional dicer accepts products up to 4.75 inches (120 mm). Product is delivered to a feed hopper and enters a rotating impeller. Centrifugal force holds the product against the inside of the case. Impeller paddles carry the product past the slicing knife. An adjustable slice gate at the top of the case determines the slice thickness.

As the Global Leader in Food Cutting Technology, Urschel is the #1 best-selling provider of industrial food cutting equipment in the world. Urschel designs, manufactures, markets, and sells precision, high capacity cutting equipment for the food processing and related processing industries.

Contact Urschel to learn more or to set-up a free test cut on the new Affinity Integra-D Dicer. Customers may witness test cutting of their product in-person, via video, or live remotely.
