Ingredia Nutritional Launches Range of Proteins

The Nutritional Solutions range is showcasing a protein which enables a higher level of fluidity within high-protein beverages than INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has successfully produced before.

Oct 21 2010 --- INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL, expert in milk protein products, is launching a series of unique proteins and hydrolysates with new and improved ways of incorporating them into products for the sports, diet, infant and clinical nutrition markets. Known to date for their groundbreaking Bio-Actives range such as Lactium, CarbLite and CranMax, INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has been working to produce a portfolio of milk derivative proteins which not only have outstanding nutritional properties but are also innovative in their composition and numerous applicable qualities.

With products composed of 85% or more of protein on dry matter the Nutritional Solutions range offers one of the best, if not the highest quality set of proteins on the market. All the proteins are native and come from fresh milk through a non-denaturing process. INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL works closely with their clients, helping them through the different processes to achieve an end product the consumer loves.

The Nutritional Solutions range is showcasing a protein which enables a higher level of fluidity within high-protein beverages than INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has successfully produced before. Their technology provides the opportunity to incorporate high levels of protein within a nutritional drink, previously difficult to achieve. Now, with this innovation, a more liquid and great textured high-protein drink is available to be developed to market. An excellent possible application is the sports drink industry, providing faster recuperation and repair after exercise. This proposed drink is easily consumed and refreshing unlike most current high-protein sports drinks which are thick and can be unpleasant to drink.

INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL now offers protein hydrolysates with a lower bitterness than products currently on the market, increasing the possible applications for use. Due to the lower bitterness levels, time does not have to be spent trying to mask the usual bitter taste and increased quantities of hydrolysates can be used, therefore in turn augmenting the nutritional benefits of the end product. One possible market destination is infant nutrition, as hydrolysates are more easily digested than the other non-hydrolyzed proteins, are hypoallergenic and enable superior absorption of amino acids.

The Nutritional Solutions proteins have different attributes to suit their flexible applications. This innovative range, rich in nitrogenous matter (85% or over) provide one or more of the following:
- 100% native milk proteins
 - high dispersibility
 - 100% soluble proteins
 - organic
 - improved fluidity
 - rich in caseins (92% of total protein)
 - all new low bitterness
 - low fat
 - high microbiological profile
 - low lactose or lactose free
