We are proud to inform you that the Professor of Dairy Process Technology Peter de Jong, from Van Hall Larenstein University, has just tested and published a great article on the performances of our MAXIREN XDS in Continental cheese production. It is attached the article.

 

The tests were done independently (without DSM’s influence) and the article was published in May on the International Dairy Magazine (IDM), and mainly focuses the results of their tests with MAXIREN XDS on reducing the cheese footprint, with their own words:

“Overall, the use of a new rennet [MAXIREN XDS] will yield a substantial footprint reduction of almost 12%. Dairy companies have set themselves the target to reduce the footprint of dairy processes by 20% in 2020. The use of this new rennet already achieves a large part of the target for cheese production.”

 

This gives an important message on the benefits of our MAXIREN XDS, which we can (and should) share with our current and potential customers. Additional benefits identified by Professor Peter de Jong:

1) Reduced variation in moisture level with XDS, leading to reduction of standard deviation of moisture by 16,6% and consequent possibility of significantly increase production yield;

2) Reduced cutting losses by 15% in cheese cutting or slicing.
