The performance of Danisco's cultures last year stands out against
the drop in flavour sales and weak growth in other ingredients made
by the group, thanks to the strong synergies offered by its Rhodia
acquisition, writes Dominique...
Rhodia Food has launched a range of probiotic-containing cultures
for fermented milks, such as kefir, which are increasing in
popularity as a result of their health benefits.
Ingredients giant Danisco moves into the lead in the global
cultures business with its acquisition of the food ingredients arm
of ailing French chemical firm Rhodia.
The food division of pharma company Rhodia launched two new
probiotic blends under its FloraFit range at Vitafoods last week,
one to 'Balance' the intestinal microflora, the other to 'Boost'
the immune system....
Aiming to improve its customer relations, French chemicals company
Rhodia announced this week that it is re-grouping its business
around four divisions to serve the company's key markets.
French chemicals company Rhodia is to sell its UK-based brewing and
enzymes businesses to US biotech company Genencor International in
a bid to strengthen its focus on food additives.
