Quick answers about Novo’s products and process.
Common questions
What does “16X concentrated” mean?
Conventional dough conditioners are typically used at about 1% of flour weight. At its recommended dosage of 0.0625% (1 oz per 100 lb of flour), Levartos AA CL is 16 times more concentrated, so you use 16 times less product for the same job.
How does concentration reduce freight and storage?
You ship 1 pallet of Levartos AA CL instead of 16 pallets of a conventional conditioner used at 1%, and you need 1/16 the warehouse space. Actual savings depend on your volumes and freight lanes; we are happy to run the numbers for your operation.
How does a concentrated ingredient lower my cost?
You use less product per batch, store fewer pounds and pay to ship fewer pounds. For Levartos AA CL, typical bowl-cost reduction is more than 30% versus standard clean-label conditioners.
Are your products clean label?
Yes. Our enzyme-based conditioners and freshness systems are designed for simple, recognizable ingredient declarations. We also offer non-GMO and organic options.
Do you have organic products?
Yes. Levartos OG is an organic dough conditioner and Novosoft OG-2 is an organic freshness system.
Can you match or reformulate my current product?
Yes. We analyze your current formula, identify cost-reduction opportunities through concentration or reformulation, and develop a solution that preserves performance. This applies to bread, laminated dough, flat breads and sweet goods.
Do you offer samples and plant-trial support?
Yes. Contact us with your product and process. We’ll recommend a dosage, provide samples and support your plant trial.
