The growing consumption of dairy products and consumer awareness of the benefits of clean label products are two major factors driving the growth of the protective cultures industry. Additionally, the growing global demand for natural preservative-free products is propelling the market expansion of protective cultures. Additionally, the market for protective cultures has grown due to the growing demand for long-term preservatives and extremely transparent products.

March 2022: Royal DSM announced the launch of four new DelvoGuard bioprotective cultures. These cultures enable yogurt manufacturers to naturally extend shelf life while retaining flavor and texture. The new cultures are based on naturally occurring dairy microflora and offer a cost-effective way to enhance the quality and safety of dairy products. The new culture variety enables dairy processors to exert greater control over post-acidification, gas production, and decolorisation, while also improving creaminess and mouthfeel and increasing shelf life.
