Danish food ingredients firm Chr. Hansen has developed a salt-reducing solution that allows cheese manufacturers to reduce sodium levels by up to 50% while retaining taste and texture properties.
The SaltLite concept is a combination of Chr. Hansen's existing DVS starter and adjunct cultures and CHY-MAX M cheese coagulants. Chr. Hansen stated that the cultures help to preserve the taste of the product when cutting salt levels, while the cheese coagulants enhance texture and reduce bitterness.
