Novozymes Saphera® is an innovative non-yeast lactase originated from Bifidobacterium bifidum that has advantages over traditional yeast-based lactases. Saphera® has a unique pH and temperature profile, and is highly versatile in production applications. It has fewer side activities and effectively reduces lactose all the way down to 0.01%. With this innovative technology, dairy producers can address both the reduced-sugar trend and the lactose-free trend at the same time.
Benefits
- Less added sugar
- Optimal solution for fermented dairy products
- Better control of lactose elimination
- Cleaner taste
- Better sweetness control in sweetened dairy products

Novozymes Saphera® Fiber is a beta-galactosidase that converts lactose (the sugar inherently in milk) into galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) fiber.
As a conversion of lactose into GOS – and not an added ingredient – the enzyme simultaneously reduces sugar and calories while increasing fiber (fiber generated has the caloric value of 2 kcal/g whereas sugar has 4 kcal/g). This provides innovation opportunities for brands to combine fiber claims in reduced sugar product reformulation.
Benefits
- Fiber enrichment and sugar reduction
- Same sweetness and sensory experience that consumers expect
- Cleaner label and natural positioning
- Stable and easy-to-handle liquid formulation

The highest-quality yeast lactase in the market, Lactozym® Pure, is exceptionally pure and accepted for organic production. This purity reduces off-flavors. Both fresh milk and UHT products keep a pure and consistent natural milk flavor. Lactozym® Pure effectively reduces lactose down to 0.1%.
Benefits
- Accepted for organic production
- Exceptional purity reduces off-flavors in fresh milk and UHT products
- Produce easy-to-digest lactose-free and reduced-sugar dairy products
- Broad application range, from lactose-free milk to dulce de leche

Produce partially hydrolyzed baby formula that is low-allergenic, neutral-tasting, and Kosher/Halal certified with Formea®. Novozymes offers two microbial proteases, one trypsin-like and the other chymotrypsin-like. Both eliminate the risk of animal contamination and variation, giving you consistent quality. They can be used separately or together to give you full control.
Benefits
- Microbial-based hydrolyzation of proteins – without animal/porcine origin
- Increased digestibility and reduced allergenicity
- Gives you full control to develop peptide profiles with unique functionalities

Novozymes Galaya® Prime is an enzymatic solution for improving the texture of fermented dairy products, enabling replacement of stabilizers and other costly texturizing solutions. The active component of Galaya® Prime is a transglutaminase enzyme which catalyzes the formation of cross-links between lysine (Lys) and glutamine (Gln) amino acids in milk proteins. This contributes to a stronger protein network during yogurt acidification and yields a firmer and more viscous texture with improved water-holding capacity.
Benefits
- Cost effective
- Label friendly
- Easy-to-implement/use liquid formulation
- Superior quality with high purity
