The dairy and food technology fields have long been the predecessors of modern biotechnology. Centuries before the advent of enzyme and fermentation research, cheesemakers were putting to use enzymes and bacterial organisms to augment and convert milk into a specific flavours and types of cheeses. Although the technology of modern cheesemaking has increased a thousandfold over time, the heart and soul of the craft remains in the unique addition of specific enzymes and bacterial strains.

IMAC Inc. specializes in the production of the bacterial cultures used for all varieties of cheese and dairy production. Currently, our library of starter bacteria has extended to over 150 different specific, kosher-ready strains, most of them over 1000 years old! Drawing from this extensive and ancient library, IMAC has been able to produce unique and powerful starter cultures to suit every cheese and dairy making need.

In order to facilitate the proper and successful use of these bacteria, IMAC has developed a groundbreaking line of Starter Media products that have grown to become an industry standard. With contamination and "phage-attacks" being a painfully consistent problem in the dairy industry, researchers at IMAC developed and patented a Starter Media system which was guaranteed to eliminate all phage-related problems, and also help create an optimum environment for the starter bacteria to grow in. Now used worldwide with a flawless record, IMAC’s Eliminate and Eradicate Starter Media Products have become the measure for which all high quality starter powders are made.

By drawing on the ancient techniques of the past and infusing them with the reliability and advancements of modern science, IMAC has been able to preserve the many unique flavors and varieties of the dairy industry, while simultaneously making them efficient, cost-effective, and profitable for the current competitive market.
