Vertera™ Tempo
Speed up soy vegurt fermentation while maintaining taste and texture, limiting post-acidification and enabling products with no added sugar. The answers to satisfying soy vegurts are inside.
Product features, details and benefits
- Faster, more consistent fermentation
Vertera™ Tempo accelerates acidification in soy bases, including formulations with limited fermentable carbon.
- Texture and taste maintained
Vertera™ Tempo keeps texture stable in soy bases with limited carbon sources, with no statistically significant differences in taste when added.
- Supports no-added-sugar formulations
Improve fermentation performance in soy bases without adding sugar, helping enable “no added sugar” product positioning where local regulations and the complete recipe allow.
- Stable acidity during shelf life
Achieve no or low post-acidification during up to 50 days of storage at 6°C, supporting a consistent product experience over shelf life.
- Flexible culture pairing
Use Vertera™ Tempo as an adjunct with other Vertera™ solutions to match the desired fermentation, taste and texture profile.
Vertera™ Tempo is an adjunct culture developed primarily for fermented soy applications. It is added together with a required Vertera™ starter culture after the soy base has been pasteurized and cooled down to fermentation temperature.
Across soy bases, Vertera™ Tempo improves fermentation performance over a range of protein levels and sugar conditions.
In 4.5% soy protein bases without added sugar, selected Vertera™ starter culture pairings can reach pH 4.6 in less than eight hours while in higher-protein soy bases of 8-10.7%, pairings with Vertera™ Tempo can reach pH 4.5 in approximately 7.3-11.6 hours. In contrast, starter cultures without Vertera™ Tempo take considerably longer or plateau before the target pH.
Application conditions and results depend on the soy base, formulation, starter culture, process and target product. Our application experts can help identify the right pairing for your market and manufacturing setup.
This product contains microbials. While microbial products are safe to use in consumer applications, they must be handled correctly in production environments to ensure that workers do not inhale organic dust and bioaerosols.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations
