At HiE 2018, FoodIngredientsFirst spoke with Inge Lise Povlsen, Senior Catagory & Application Manager at Arla Foods Ingredients, about the company's innovative work with whey ingredients.

Arla Food Ingredients presents a 100% whey based iced protein coffee concept with Lacprodan DI7017 with Capolac milk mineral. A high source of protein (>20%), it is a healthy beverage that will benefit not just the muscles but also the brain, thanks to its natural caffeine content. Low in sugar and lactose, the iced coffee also contains Capolac minerals from milk and is a source of calcium (>60mg/100ml). Peter Schouw Andersen of Arla Foods Ingredients says: “We are taking two very important trends of high protein and iced coffee. Combining those two together creates a unique concept that is ideal for this urban lifestyle consumer group,.” 

Products made with whey protein and minerals from milk have the power to turn back the clock on a person’s age – biologically speaking, that is – according to Arla Foods Ingredients. Launching a new concept called ‘Change Your Body Age’, Arla Foods Ingredients said that consumers aged 50+ can’t do anything about their chronological age, but they can slow down their ‘body age’ through good nutrition that looks after their muscles and bones. To highlight the possibilities for food and beverage companies to create products for consumers aged 50+, Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a new Change Your Body Age product concept – an instant coffee enriched with 100% whey protein and natural minerals from milk, including calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Arla Foods Ingredients presented 100 calorie snacking concepts where eggs have been replaced by whey protein concentrate at IB. A Lime & Raspberry snack [6% protein] contains one-quarter of daily calcium requirements, while a Choco-Banana concept contains up to 10% protein.

Arla Foods Ingredients is predicting a long-term increase in demand for whey protein ingredients suitable for use in products that address sarcopenia in seniors. Peter Schouw Andersen, Business Development Manager for Performance Health & Nutrition at Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “This year, Europe will have twice as many consumers aged 55 to 74 than young people aged 15 to 24 – a trend that is mirrored elsewhere in the world. This means that growing numbers of consumers will suffer from sarcopenia and its symptoms. In turn, this creates a significant opportunity to develop convenient, tasty and healthy food and drink products that help seniors get more high quality protein into their diet and prevent or even reverse sarcopenia.”
