Concentrated dairy flavors
Bring together cultures, enzymes and more than 100 years of dairy expertise to unlock new flavor possibilities, faster.
A growing category, growing in complexity
Customers want unique flavors, faster innovation and label-friendly flexibility. Competition is rising, and differentiation is no longer optional. But success rarely comes from a single ingredient. It takes the right combination, suited to your specific process and application.
What are concentrated dairy flavors?
You may know the category as EMDI. Others call it EMC. We call it concentrated dairy flavors, because our approach goes further than enzymes alone. By combining enzymes with cultures, we give you a more flexible set of tools to guide signature flavor development from the ground up.
Inside the toolbox
The Novonesis concentrated dairy flavors range brings together two core biosolution types: enzymes and cultures. It's the industry's most extensive dedicated biosolutions portfolio for this category, backed by more than 100 years of dairy expertise and hands-on application support.
Enzymes, such as lipases or proteases, break down fats and proteins to build flavor intensity and complexity. Cultures contribute to the characteristic aromas and nuanced notes that define authentic cheese character. Used alone or in combination, they give you precise, repeatable control over your final flavor profile.
