Along with safety today's norm is to make better the quality of the product. Enhancing the look and the taste of food products is no more a trend but a necessity as consumers expect to get value for their money.
With buyers willing to pay, it is obvious that players in the industry as in bakery and dairy gear up to give their best. But what would the soft-drink majors, ice cream manufacturers do without the 'speciality ingredient sector'?
Chr. Hansen, a company specialising in the speciality food ingredients sector, has been in the business since 1857, successfully improving the quality of food and health using natural ingredients and process.
With almost 130 years of experience as an important strength, the company remains a young innovative company with a strong commitment to constant renewal. Some of the Chr. Hansen's contributions have helped in significant improvement of the quality of food and health for millions all over the world.
Tansukh Jain, MD, Chr. Hansen (India), says that the company came to India almost a year ago, but today stands in line with the major players here. Providing the customers with natural ingredient solutions such as beneficial bacteria cultures, enzymes and herb extracts, the company has been able to maintain its clientele.
Ranking among world's top 15 suppliers of food ingredients and a global market leader within enzymes for cheese production, yoghurt, wine, meat products and natural colours for food and beverage industries, Chr. Hansen in India provides to leading players in the dairy sector.
"Innovation and use of technology are a must in food sector today", says Jain. Especially India which is a huge potential market inviting all global players. Regarding the competition in speciality ingredient sector, Jain says, "The business that we are in has tremendous potential. The common man has disposable income and is ready to spend on quality products, our customers want to give them the best, and we just help them in that." He adds, as of now the number of companies specialising in ingredients sector is not very high, only those who provide quality and keep up their commitments will sustain.
Jain explains that even though their company provides cultures, dairy enzymes emulsifiers etc, if the supply chain management is not up to the mark then the consumer does not get the quality product that he has been promised. It is, therefore, not surprising that India is waiting for foreign retail players to come up with a bang. It will prove beneficial to all. Moreover they will bring with them better supply chain management which is very important to our industry as well, says Jain.
Some of Chr. Hansen's milestones over 130 years are:
Standardised rennet, the first commercial enzyme product in the world, revolutionises cheese production and makes wholesome cheese available to millions of people.
Industrially produced dairy cultures can be used in pasteurized milk, which prevents spreading of diseases.
Freeze-dried cultures give consumers all over the world more variants of cheese and yoghurt.
A full range of natural colours and flavours, seasonings and organic sweeteners makes it possible for consumers to follow the health trend focusing on natural ingredients in a large range of food products.
Chymosin produced by fermentation assures superior purity and high quality cheese at stable prices. Standardised bacterial cultures give consumers a uniform, high quality and optimal food safety in meat products.
New probiotic dairy cultures with clinically documented health effects give consumers a new way of keeping their digestion and intestinal system in balance. Probiotic cultures with documented effects are used in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products.
The probiotic feed additive BioPlus 2B® provides the agricultural sector with an U-approved natural alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. Wisely combined scientific knowledge with entrepreneurial spirit and a strong commitment to continuous research and quality products and services has been the foundation of Chr. Hansen's long-term success.
