GLOBAL – Lallemand, a global leader in the development and production of speciality ingredients, has unveiled a new bioprotective solution, Lalcult Protect MC1, to help extend the shelf life of dairy products by preventing mould and yeast.
According to Lallemand, the Lalcult Protect MC1 solution aims to ensure the safety and quality of dairy products while maintaining consumer trust and brand reputation.
“Fungal contamination by mould and yeast is a common and frequent concern to all food producers, especially in dairy products,” leading to colour and taste defects,” the company noted.
“Among the mould contaminations, Penicillium is the dominant genus (91%) on spoiled hard, semi-hard and soft cheeses from different countries.”
Lallemand added that mould contamination can result in significant financial losses and losses of credibility for dairy producers.
It also highlighted that consumers who ingest the contaminated products may experience a variety of symptoms ranging from digestive disorders to allergic reactions.
