科漢森,利樂包項目移除障礙益生菌飲料

技術使用利樂無菌定量配料機的Flex Dos,允許添加細菌液體之前他們都是裝入紙箱。創新預計將顯著提高益生菌飲料市場,迄今為止被限製的微妙的自然成分和汙染的擔憂。益生菌必須生活施加他們的健康益處但他們可以被處理的情況。例如,在飲料中的熱處理標準生產運行會殺死活細菌。芬蘭乳製品Valio成功地創建一個益生菌汁,Gefilus品牌,通過改善其益生菌的穩定性。產品現在已經在芬蘭最大的冷凍飲料部分份額。科漢森的新技術,消除了所有的障礙處理,將益生菌在生產過程的最後階段。“市場是日益增長的高端冷凍果汁。我們相信市場還有一個正常在早餐喝牛奶和酸奶製造商可能也會有興趣增加使用的巴氏滅菌法,“漢斯·克裏斯蒂Bejder說,負責營銷科漢森的益生菌。他認為“直接液體接種”係統也將吸引食品行業外的乳製品行業製定謹慎的細菌。 "The machine has a special chamber with a membrane system that keeps the bacteria in aseptic conditions. The company does not even have to see the bacteria as we provide them with a special package," he told NutraIngredients.com. "Then a hose with a sterile needle at both ends feeds the bacteria into the finished product. You don't have to stop the production process to switch from the probiotic product to another, and you can have two products in the one machine," he added. "We're not aware of any other system with this level of safety and flexibility," said Bejder. Chr Hansen is predicting strong growth in demand for probiotic beverages as the drinks sector has traditionally been one of the most innovative in adding healthy ingredients. The company has tested the stability of its cultures in the new system using orange juice that could be marketed with a maximum one month shelf-life in the chilled section. The system has already been tested on an industrial scale and the first products using the technology are expected to launch before the end of 2005.
