Tackling your key challenges in bioscience innovation
You need a partner that understands the trends driving bioscience innovation; and knows how to deliver the qualities needed to help you create differentiated products.
Bioscience innovation
Fuelling the food system
At dsm-firmenich we believe that bioscience (the science of living organisms) holds the key to feeding a growing population sustainably; tackling food waste; and fighting climate change. Which is why we use it to create delicious, nutritious and sustainable products - more quickly and efficiently.
Biotechnology is the branch of bioscience that concerns the creation of food and beverages through the fermentation of microorganisms like yeast, fungi, or bacteria. We use our world-leading biotechnology capabilities and the skills of our more than 1,500 scientists to discover – and seize - remarkable opportunities for improving quality of life, at every stage of life, through healthier nutrition.
For 150 years we’ve been a leader in this field, creating winning solutions for customers. But bioscience never stands still: which is why we continue to invest in the future: including emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence and robotization.
Superior sustainability
Increasingly, you need to produce food and beverages with a lower carbon footprint and less artificial ingredients.
Cost efficiency
How can you leverage more cost-efficient and label-friendly ingredients that perform as well – or better – than conventional ones?
Global capability
You need a bioscience partner with the global footprint to support you and your customers, wherever you are.
Our Expertise
Lactose-free flavor
Our team combined the latest biotechnology with five-plus decades of dairy experience to create Maxilact® - a family of acidic and neutral lactase enzymes.
Not only does Maxilact® meet the needs of lactose-intolerant customers, it creates a clean taste, while its natural sweetness enables up to a 20% sugar reduction.
Sweet success
What if we could produce stevia sweeteners via fermentation rather than via extraction from the stevia leaf?
This is exactly what our experts achieved with EVERSWEET™ Reb M. It delivers calorie-free sweetness in a more scalable and sustainable way, with lower cost-in-use.
Powering the protein transition
Vertis™CanolaPRO® is our unique plant-based protein isolate derived from the canola (rapeseed) plant.
Our scientists developed a patented process and technology that extracts and then preserves the functionality and nutritional quality of the protein within. It's ideal for ready-to-drink and ready-to-mix protein applications as well as meat and dairy alternatives.
