CSL launches new certified
organic products
FLORGANIC Probiotics
More than half of consumers believe
that organic products are healthier
than products that are not organic.
This poses opportunities for innovative
producers to expand their offering
in a changing market. To support
this, CSL Centro Sperimentale Del Latte
is launching FLORGANIC Probiotics, a
certified organic product range. FLORGANIC
Probiotics will support the dairy
industry with developing new innovative
products that give them a sales and
marketing edge over competitors.
FLORGANIC Probiotics offers welldocumented
lactobacillus strains, such
a Synbio blend, Lactobacillus rhamnosus
CRL1505 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus

able to help solve a problem.” One example
of a satisfied customer is the company
in the Southeast Asia region that needed to
improve stability in a new range of flavoured
plant-based milks. “They came to our lab
to run trials for a few days, and we worked
with them to adjust the recipe on the spot.
They’ve now approved the product and it’s
due to launch next year, which is very exciting,”
Theng Theng says.
Working closely with customers, she
often develops strong bonds: “They’re always
very appreciative, especially if they’re
working in R&D and you help them develop
a new product. You start to build relationships
with them and sometimes they even
become friends.”
So, which does she enjoy more? The
problem-solving or the relationships?
She grins: “It’s both! You can’t choose just
one of those. In order to solve a problem, you
need a lot of communication to get the full
picture of a customer’s production process.
And it’s easier to talk through a problem when
you have a good relationship.”
Bespoke solutions
for a plant-based future
An unexpected upside of the Covid-19 crisis
is that there has been additional time

or nutritional benefits (photo: Adobe)
to develop new concepts. So, what can
we expect from Theng Theng’s team in
the future? “Plant-based beverages are a
relatively new area, so many of the projects
we’ve been working on with customers
are still in the pipeline. Behind the scenes
we’ve also been doing a lot of work on improving
and developing our products and
we’ve been working on a solution for better
suspension.”
Theng Theng finds such projects benefit
from Palsgaard’s global set-up. “We
have application centres and experts across
the world, so I can bounce ideas off my colleagues
in Mexico, for example,” she says.
In future, she foresees the development
of more bespoke products in response to
the need for a wider variety of dairy alternatives.
“We’re always listening to customer demands.
If there isn’t an existing solution, we’ll
try to develop something new for them. It’s an
area where we’re keen to move even faster
because we’re definitely going to be working
a lot more with vegan products in the future.”
