Lysozyme
Lysozyme is a natural enzyme extracted from egg whites which protects cheese from the growth of Clostridia which can cause swelling, splitting and cracks in cheese. (E 1105)
Another application of lysozyme is to accelerate cheese ripening, due to lysis of starter bacteria that trigger the release of cytoplasmic enzymes which play a key role in proteolysis during cheese ripening.
The Clerici Lysozyme is available in the Halal and Cage free version for all those who are sensitive to the welfare of laying hens that are raised open-range.
Natamycin
Clerici Natamycin, called Natacid, is an anhydrous mixture consisting of 50% of the active ingredient natamycin (or pimaricin) E235.
Natamycin Clerici Clerici improves the conservation of several food products by inhibiting yeasts and molds, while preventing the development of fungal toxins.
Natamycin does not alter the activity of starter cultures, and keeps the quality, appearance, color and organoleptic characteristics of the foods intact.
The product is available both on a glucose and a lactose base.
Nisin
Nisin, a polypeptide produced by some strains of streptococcus lactis, is a natural food preservative with high efficiency. (E234)
Nisin has antimicrobial activity against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria, particularly those that produce spores. It inhibits some strains such as Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus stearothermophilus and others.
The use of nisin as a food preservative can help reduce the temperature of heat processing and shorten the time of the required heat processing, improve the nutritional value, appearance, taste and texture of the cheese and significantly increase shelf life.
Casein labels
Casein labels are casein discs used for the traceability of cheeses.
Casein Labels protect cheese against attempts of fraud, guaranteeing direct control over the traceability of the packaged product for company and consumer protection. It is also possible to have them with Halal certification.
Cheese coating
Cleriplast is a cheese coating which is manufactured starting from a copolymer of vinyl acetate. Cleriplast is produced in aqueous dispersion with varying degrees of viscosity according to its final application. Once dried, it becomes a highly resistant film, without any smell or colour and guarantees the maturation of the cheese, protecting it from contaminants dispersed in the aging rooms.
Cleriplast is also available with bacteriostatic additives such as Natamycin and Potassium Sorbate, useful for the protection of hard, semi-hard and semi-soft cheeses and in different colours.
Smoke aroma
The smoke aroma is a concentrated aqueous solution of smoked natural flavour produced by the controlled pyrolysis of woods. Smoking takes place therefore at room temperature by immersion / contact / showering and guarantees smoking with cheese shrinkage and a traditional and natural smoky scent.
Lactase
Lactase is an enzyme that is able to broken down lactose into two monosaccharides: glucose + galactose. Lactase ensures the controlled elimination of lactose to produce low-lactose milk and lactose-free derivatives.
The Lactase distributed by Sacco System is available based on the finished product to be made.
Transglutaminase
Transglutaminase (TG) is a natural enzyme able to combine the side chains of two amino acids (glutamine and lysine) to improve the characteristics of dairy products
CLERICI TG
For cheese, Clerici transglutaminase allows the increase of production yield, reducing syneresis.
For Yogurt, Clerici transglutaminase increases viscosity and creaminess, with reduced syneresis and a decrease in the added dry matter.
Annatto
Annatto is a natural colorant for cheese that complies with current regulations by indicating the wording E160b on the label.
The product is presented in liquid form, to be used directly on the surface of the cheese.
