Technical Information

Customer Problems We Solve

Global demand for milk is growing and supply is constrained.

Microbes and their enzymes cause most of the losses in the dairy industry and are responsible for:

•Wasted product, loss of shelf-life, expensive recalls

•Costly closures of collection centres and manufacturing plants for deep cleaning.

Specific problems caused by residual traces of the bacterial protease “AprX” include:
•Shelf-life failures of UHT milk
•Flavour and texture defects in cheese.

Until now there was no fast way to detect this enzyme and the organisms that produce it. Now CYBERTONGUE® allows processors to:
•Screen milk on arrival
•Check milk during processing and;
•Survey and clean up biofilms in the dairy supply chain.

Are any of these problems familiar?

If so, CYBERTONGUE® could be the solution you’ve been looking for

We tailor solutions to inform real-time decision making across:

Food Processing

Safety & compliance, shelf-life, provenance, nutritional value

Agriculture

Real time tests for productivity, quality, profitability and health

Other Manufacturing Industries
