Introducing Lyoculture – BDF’s Starter Cultures for Dairy

BDF Natural Ingredients has developed LyoCulture Dairy to offer a wide range of starter cultures with guaranteed activity that helps to obtain standardised and homogeneous cheese and fermented products. LyoCulture Dairy products are high quality European formulations based on mixes of freeze-dried single-strains. As DVI (Direct Vat Inoculation) products are easy to use. These products are offered to ensure a specific post-acidification, texture, viscosity, activity, sensory characteristics and shelf life.

The activity of all the LYOCULTURE products is measured using fermentation units of activity (U). The standard dosage recommended for the LYOCULTURE range is 10 U per 1000 L of milk.
