Pocket Delight: Three ambient yogurt concepts for healthier people & planet

Pocket delight: ambient yogurt

With its up to 12 months shelf life and stability at room temperature, ambient yogurt is becoming increasingly popular with consumers who want to support not only their own health, but that of the planet too.

Today, an astonishing 30% of food is wasted because the best-before-date has passed¹ - and this of course, includes fermented products. With our ambient yogurt ingredients, you're able to make healthy products available in parts of the world where refrigeration is a challenge. Moreover it is also incredibly convenient for consumers as an anytime, anywhere, on-the-go snack: all of which makes it ripe for differentiation – especially for manufacturers able to deliver superior taste, texture and health benefits.

This was the rationale behind Pocket Delight: three ambient yogurt concepts to demonstrate how the dsm-firmenich portfolio of sustainable ingredients can support manufacturers in creating truly standout products in this category.

Three concepts, one goal

Each of our Pocket Delight concepts builds taste, texture, health and quality throughout its extended shelf life at ambient temperature using our yogurt cultures, nutritional solutions, hydrocolloids and natural flavors.
