Antimicrobial for Cottage Cheese

COPENHAGENA natural antimicrobial ingredient from Danisco, MicroGARD® 430, is available for processing cottage cheese filled above 45 degrees F and up to 55 degrees F.  The higher filling temperatures improve the texture of traditional cottage cheese.

MicroGARD 430 was designed to reduce the growth of a wide array of harmful and spoilage bacteria, as well as various yeasts and molds. It is an effective and natural alternative for potassium sorbate in cottage cheese processing. MicroGARD 430 consists of cultured, nonrBST, grade A non-fat dry milk powder, which allows for a clean and simple product label.
