Dahi production made easy

Dahi, a staple dairy in India, comes in different textures and flavours, depending on which region one gets it. To help manufacturers formulate the right dahi for their customers, DuPont Nutrition & Health makes available a creations kit with high performing cultures and design curds. With it, makers can easily customise dahi by choosing cultures and using these either singly or in combination. They can then adjust the flavour, acidity, texture and mouthfeel.

“We see the need to help our customers achieve the ideal Dahi profile they want without much complexity,” said Keshav Krishnamani, regional product manager, Sub-Saharan Africa & South Asia. “The Dahi Creations Kit is like pre-fabricated building blocks for manufacturers to simplify their culture selection process and produce a consistent, good quality dahi that is able to survive challenging distribution and storage conditions.”

 The kit consists of DuPont? Danisco? starter cultures for building flavour, texture and body, protective cultures for improved shelf life and HOWARU? premium probiotics for added health benefits.
