Less sugar, same taste
Closing the gap on sweetness intensity is key in sugar reduction – which means masking bitterness and off-notes with no influence on sensory qualities.
If you want to create the most luscious lactose-free and sugar-reduced milk drinks…you’re in the right place. With our extensive portfolio and expertise, we’ll bring the sensory indulgence and health to your fresh non-fermented dairy.
Our palate-pleasing flavor solutions for milk cover all the consumer favorites – from vanilla, brown notes, fruits to dairy. But most importantly, we can deliver all this for you minus the lactose with our industry leading lactase enzymes. They provide a natural sweetness while reducing sugar content by up to 20% in dairy products.
But why stop there? Our extensive toolbox of natural sweeteners, sugar-reducing ingredients and sweetness modulation flavors can help you reduce - or even replace sugar completely - in your products, with the added potential to rebuild mouthfeel and flavor. It represents a great opportunity to create label-friendly milk – which we can enhance even further with our fortification solutions.
To create great milk you need a partner that understands the trends driving consumer preference; and knows how to deliver the qualities needed to help you create differentiated products.

Speed and efficiency
To hit lactose-free targets in the shortest time you need optimal production efficiency and capacity – for example, by shortening hydrolysis time.
Increasing indulgence
Consumers will always want non-fermented fresh dairy that tastes and feels great – and is ideally tailored to their regional preferences.
Cleaner labels
Replacing artificial ingredients in (plant-based) dairy with healthier, high-performing alternatives.
Affordability is a necessity
With the global dairy ecosystem under increasing cost pressures, it’s essential to create affordable products using equally affordable ingredients.
Fortification
Health-conscious consumers are increasingly looking for convenient new ways to get more nutrients in their diets.
Our flavor solutions for milk enable you to create authentic flavor profiles, for example with Best-in-Class Strawberry - a wide range of outstanding strawberry flavors based on in-depth understanding of consumer preference. Or if it’s full and satisfying vanilla indulgence you’re after, try our fabulous natural flavors that are more cost-effective than natural vanillin.
But our solutions for milk start way earlier in the dairy ecosystem – where our Delvotest® kit allows farmers, dairies, and milk control labs to keep milk free from antibiotic residues throughout the entire milk chain.
Our lactase enzymes don’t just enable you to create delicious lactose-free milk with a natural sweetness – and less sugar. They can also reduce hydrolysis time by 33% and require 50% less dosage to achieve the same amount of product – delivering double-digit productivity gains.
Beyond lactase enzymes, we offer a whole family of sugar-reduction solutions, vitamins and minerals – and of course, flavor solutions for milk. Here we can help you create fantastic flavor profiles (strawberry, vanilla); as well as mouthfeel improvement to suit regional preferences.
If you want consumers to get more from your milk, look no further than our comprehensive portfolio of nutritional fortification solutions. For example, our custom nutritional premix blends combine vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in one single and convenient solution to address health concerns. Or you can add our vegan Omega-3s to help further support wellbeing, including the skin’s natural antioxidant defense.
But that’s only half the story. Our experts can also draw on our extensive mouthfeel & masking solution to help you tackle typical off-notes (metallic, bitterness, astringent, fishy, cardboard) that can emanate from vitamins, minerals and DHA fortification.
Consumers nowadays are seeking dairy with less sugar – including dairy modifiers. But of course, this can create a taste gap in consumers’ sugar and sweetness perception.
Fortunately, we created Dynarome® DA – which provides milk-like mouthfeel and enhances dairy-like creaminess perception in reduced-fat creams & whiteners application. In fact, our experts can work with you to boost sensory qualities in all three dimensions of taste, mouthfeel and aroma – for example through high-impact vanilla flavors that provide an affordable and natural alternative to vanillin.
Need cleaner creamers? Using our flavor solutions and lactase enzymes we reduce sugar in condensed creamers – all while maintaining sweetness and reducing costs.
But that’s not all. Our experts can also work with you to deliver milk-like mouthfeel while countering bitterness using our masking technologies based on breakthrough receptor science. This also extends to enhancing dairy-like creaminess perception in reduced-fat creamers & whiteners.
