DSM's Delvo-Star culture system hits the US

Ready in six hours from inoculation to use, the increase in speed offered by Delvo-Star could provide cheese producers with greater flexibility in their manufacturing plants.

Delvo-Star is added directly to pasteurised milk in the starter tank, so requires no media, eliminating a labour-intensive part of the culture preparation process.

Peter Kempe, president of DSM Food Specialties USA, said: “The introduction of Delvo-Star is a real innovation for the dairy industry. It allows users to consistently produce cheese with the original texture and flavour, while speeding up and simplifying the overall process. By cutting the starter preparation time to just six hours, Delvo-Star is also the ideal solution for plants with limited starter capacity, giving them the freedom to make choices on a day to day basis.

“DSM Food Specialties has been developing this culture system for several years and has recently implemented trials in mass production cheese plants. Cheese makers at these plants reported that they were impressed by the flavour, speed, reduced risk of cross-contamination and sustainability benefits offered by Delvo-Star."
