Ingredients

4Protection is the Sacco line of ferments for the protection of products from the development of unwanted microorganisms. 4Protection cultures are made of 100% natural lactic bacteria that help maintain the structural and sensory quality of products during shelf life.

Rennet is an ingredient used in the production of cheese to coagulate milk and separate its solid part (curd) from the liquid one (whey).

Lactic ferments (more correctly called “lactic bacteria”) are microorganisms that through a catabolic process (fermentation) are able to degrade lactose, the sugar contained in milk and its derivatives, and transform it into lactic acid.

Lactase is a natural enzyme that is produced in the early stages of life in mammals and which is able to split lactose into two monosaccharides (glucose and galactose) and ensure its controlled elimination or reduction.

Yeasts are a group of important micro-organisms for the production of certain dairy products. Their contribution is fundamental to the creation of the correct structure and aroma of specific cheeses or fermented milks.

Moulds are essential ingredients for the production of cheeses and other food products with typical aesthetic and organoleptic characteristics (such as, for example, cheese with a floral crust). Through proteolysis and lipolysis processes, the moulds contribute strongly to the formation of the aroma, the final structure and the appearance of the cheeses that contain them.

Probiotic bacteria (from the Greek pro-bios, “in favor of life”) are a specific group of lactic ferments able to have a beneficial action on the whole body starting from the colonization of the intestine.

Growing media are solutions of products consisting of milk components, mineral salts and vitamins, and are used as milk substitutes in the production of industrial grafts (indirect inoculum fermentation).
