Arla Foods Ingredients has introduced Nutrilac Hi-Pro Improvers, a line of functional milk proteins that boost protein levels in dairy products without affecting taste and texture.
Hi-Pro Improvers are made from natural milk proteins and allow yogurt and dairy beverages, as well as ice cream manufacturers to cater to the demand for high protein products.
It helps create nutritious products with increased protein content without damaging the sensory properties of a product, and with no dryness or graininess.
Arla Foods Ingredients application manager Torben Jensen said that Nutrilac Hi-Pro Improvers eliminate all the processing and quality issues that have previously limited the addition of high levels of protein to food products.
Jensen added, "For the growing numbers of people following a high-protein diet, these difficulties have until now forced them to consume large quantities of protein-enriched products to reach their requirements. But the launch of Hi-Pro Improvers means that it is possible, at last, to incorporate much more protein into smaller portions.
"This innovation presents manufacturers with the opportunity to create a real point of difference that will add to their brand appeal and competitive edge."
Hi-Pro Improvers will be showcased at the Food Ingredients Europe trade show, scheduled to be held 19-21 November in Frankfurt, Germany.
