New technology allows probiotics in more applicationsTetra Pak and Chr Hansen, both based in the Öresund food cluster, claims to be the first to present a solution on how to add probiotics to heat treated products. The key to the development is a special Direct, Liquid Inoculation system. It allows food producers to add the probiotic bacteria directly to the finished food product, and is based on the aseptic dosing system Flex Dos from Tetra Pak. In a standard production run, the heat treatment of the beverage would kill the live, probiotic bacteria. With Chr. Hansens and Tetra Paks new Direct, Liquid Inoculation solution the healthy bacteria can be added to the milk or juice in a closed and perfectly clean system. This will make it possible for producers to make safe probiotic beverages in a flexible manner and to use their existing equipment.
“The door is now open to a whole new range of possibilities for food producers around the world. I find it very realistic that we will see the first probiotic fruit juices and drinking milks on breakfast tables before the end of 2005,” says Mr. Hans Christian Bejder, Marketing Manager for Probiotics at Chr. Hansen. “Researchers and food companies all over the world have long been looking for a way to overcome this obstacle, but so far without much luck. So naturally, I am very pleased that we became the first to present a suggestion for a viable solution,” says Hans Christian Bejder.
