Cultured non-fat dairy ingredients are dairy products that undergo fermentation with lactic acid bacteria, resulting in reduced or non-existent fat content. These ingredients are produced by culturing milk, cream, partially skimmed milk, or skim milk with appropriate bacteria. The primary purpose of cultured non-fat dairy ingredients is to impart unique flavors, moisture, and functional properties to a variety of foods.
The main types of processes involved in producing cultured non-fat dairy ingredients are natural and artificial. A natural process refers to a sequence of incidents or interactions that occur spontaneously rather than being intentionally initiated by humans. Natural processes help preserve the desirable organoleptic properties of dairy products, such as flavor, aroma, and texture. Various types of certifications are available for these products, including organic compliance, kosher certification, and conventional certification. Cultured non-fat dairy ingredients are available in both liquid and powder forms and are distributed through various channels, including direct sales, indirect sales, store-based retailing (such as hypermarkets or supermarkets, convenience stores, discount stores, and independent small groceries), as well as online retail platforms.
