Ingredients developer Chr Hansen and Swedish dairy company Norrmejerier have formed a partnership to improve and increase the production of polyphenols for food and drink applications and for dietary supplements.

Polyphenols, found in natural foods such as cocoa, nuts, teas and berries are said to have various health benefits because they act as antioxidants, protecting cells and body chemicals against damage.

The two companies, which have so far only had a supplier, customer relationship, say the collaboration will add value to their operations in beverage production and ingredients development respectively.
