By enabling lactose-free formulations, it helps manufacturers deliver a healthier product without compromising efficiency. With Booster L-150, producers can broaden their consumer base, improve nutritional value, and reduce ingredient expenses — all while maintaining the same production process.

Enhance the Look. Protect the Quality.
We manufacture the right products in Africa, for African conditions.
Our liquid cheese coatings are designed to protect cheese during storage and maturation while enhancing its visual appeal. Manufactured regionally in Nairobi, Accra, and Cape Town, and developed in partnership with European technology, our coatings deliver reliable performance with low minimum order quantities, short lead times and longer shelf-life.
Because we manufacture, we can tailor a much wider range of colours for you, enhancing your marketing options. Our products are customisable in terms of colour hue, viscosity and preservative levels. Our coatings form a smooth, glossy protective barrier that helps prevent microbial growth, mould formation, moisture loss, and surface cracking. They are easy to apply, food-grade, compliant, and suitable for all matured cheeses.
Solid cheese waxes are also available.
Fruit Preps
Our Preps are designed to deliver a high value-added experience for your customers. They are a great way to add fruit texture, flavour, colour and sweetness. We custom-make these with you in a development process, so that you have the say in the cost/value parameters.
IDFPs (Instant Dried Fruit Preps)
Especially for smaller yoghurt processors, we have designed our unique IDFPs. That means you don’t have to be a huge producer to also have a high value-added product.
Very cost effective and available in many popular types such as Strawberry, Vanilla, Passionfruit, Mango, Pineapple, Tropical, Mixed Berries etc.
