Protective Cultures consists of bacteria that act as food additives and are specifically selected for their ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms or microbiological spoilage agents and have GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status. Spoilage is one of the reasons for food wastage. Protective cultures, therefore, help the dairy manufacturers to be added to the foods that can extend shelf life. It also leads to meeting the consumer needs for more natural and clean label products. Improved shelf life aims to reduce waste, contributes to a more sustainable world, and gives producers the opportunity for geographical expansion.

With the world’s population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, sustainability and the level of dairy food waste globally continue to influence the dairy industry’s path. Food waste can occur at any point in the food chain, but it has been observed that the levels are highest at the consumption stage. It has been estimated that around 10-20% of the production of milk and dairy products in developed countries is lost or wasted, and 50% of this waste occurs post-purchase when products reach consumers’ refrigerators, with shelf-life restrictions or microbial spoilage cited as the main reasons.

Also, with growing pressure for natural dairy foods, the ‘clean label’ trend has been gaining traction in the dairy industry. Although the dairy producers used artificial additives and preservatives, to extend product shelf life and protect fresh dairy products from contamination, the use of these ingredients has led to intense scrutiny from millennials and families with children, on the risks posed by artificial ingredients.
