New protein fortification opportunities
25 Jul 2019 --- The US Dairy Export Council (USDEC) showcased how US dairy ingredients can deliver benefits that both food companies and consumers are seeking via innovative prototypes. The aim was to show formulators that with US dairy ingredients, they have the tools to provide consumers with high-quality nutrition without sacrificing taste or their clean label. “Especially in the US, the protein fortified world is a growing one, but we are seeing more growth besides products for sports. So what we have tried to focus on is a couple of different applications that will provide the same high quality proteins, but for other food types and other consumers,” says KJ Burrington at USDEC.
New application opportunities for dairy
30 Jul 2018 --- At the IFT Food Expo 2018, USDEC presented two prototypes that bring dairy protein benefits to life in on-the-go applications: Lemon Ginger Ice Pops with Whey Protein and a Savory Asian Granola with Whey Permeate/Protein Crisps. Vikki Nicholson at USDEC notes: “We see opportunities in a multitude of applications. Beverages are still hot, snacking is a great opportunity. We also see unique opportunities in bakery and desserts for dairy proteins. For example, we are presenting an Asian inspired high protein granola, with whey protein crisps. Also it has the flavor profiles of sriracha and soy in order to help give a nice snack, especially for adults, that allows you to engage in having a nice handheld snack that is not heavy.”
