Bio-protective cultures are a natural solution to reducing the risk of spoilage caused by yeast and mold contamination thereby eliminating the need for artificial preservatives and lowering quality related issues for dairies. Our FRESH Q ® range of products is developed to offer bio-protection in yoghurt, cultured milk and cheese.
Probiotic Cultures
