Percentages rule in the dairy industry- even the slightest decrease of protein or fat percentages in milk can amount to yearly losses exceeding millions of dollars or pounds. Losses incurred during processing may seem infinitesimal on a daily basis, but when calculated annually, can add up to substantial figures. With this in mind, IMAC has developed biotechnological solutions for the maintenance and storage of the raw materials used in the dairy industry. Our focus is on that of preventing the proliferation of spoilage organisms in raw milk, cream, and whey, which can severely affect both product quality and final yield results.
IMAC SILO GUARD is an bacterial and enzymatic culture system which serves to suppress phage and psychrotrophic bacteria which cause spoilage in raw silo milk. This is accomplished by SILO GUARD’s unique blend of thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria strains, coupled with the addition of oxidizing enzymes. The added bacteria Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris are known to produce an inherent source of hydrogen peroxide which is proven to adversely control the growth of psychrotrophic spoilage organisms. The enzymatic system makes the protein and fat components of the milk inaccessible to the remaining spoilage bacteria found in the silo, thereby inhibiting their growth. The final result of the application of SILO GUARD is clean, untainted milk which is ready to give optimum performance and yields because protein, fat, and sugar degradation has been drastically reduced by the suppression of spoilage organisms. The SILO GUARD bacteria and enzymes are destroyed upon pasteurization, making the milk ready for optimum use. These results have been scientifically proven by means of particle sizing by laser diffraction, which demonstrated that casien and whey protein degradation by psychrotrophs were significantly controlled in milk that was treated with SILO GUARD and left at room temperature for 48 hours!
The technological and economic benefits of the use of SILO GUARD cannot be understated, and because of this IMAC fully endorses its use as a standard for the dairy industry. By controlling the spoilage of milk in the silo, savings can be made in terms of storage and refrigeration costs, the risk of soured milk is all but eliminated, and the maintained protein percentages means that the dairies which use SILO GUARD are getting the maximum yield out of their purchased milk. SILO GUARD is also designed for the storage of cream and whey, where phenomenal results in both yield and quality have been reported.
SILO GUARD is ideal for use at the farm level, where milk storage and transport integrity are primary concerns for the profits of both milk producers and buyers. SILO GUARD, which is packaged in 130ml cans and are shipped frozen by air, are added directly to silos, milk trucks, or any milk storage unit. All cultures are Kosher Approved and are tested for purity and bacteriological safety by a US Government Certified Laboratory.
To date, dairies, farmers, and dairy hauliers have stood by their use of SILO GUARD as an integral part of their business’ success. Scientific results, increased profits, and customer testimony all solidify IMAC’s SILO GUARD products as one of the true scientific breakthroughs for the dairy industry.
