This Arla whey-based solution has been developed by the brand for fermented beverages to give them a protein-enriched recipe, while still maintaining a clear profile.
The solution is achieved using 100% whey-based hydrolysates including Lacprodan Hydro.365 and Nutrilac FO-8571, and minimizes cloudiness as well as sedimentation. The solution will thus be well-suited for a range of different recipes and is perfect for ready-to-drink beverages. The product responds to the increasing number of health-focused refreshments hitting the market and the need of versatile ways to increase their nutritional profile.
Sales Development Manager Barbara Jensen spoke on the Arla whey-based solution saying, "The market for healthy beverages is incredibly dynamic, with categories like kombucha enjoying phenomenal success. Our goal is always to help our customers lead innovation, and now we’re giving them opportunities to offer consumers a new twist on fermented protein beverages – a category that’s already very exciting. With this new solution, they can create on-trend beverages that are not only high in both protein and probiotics but also stand out from the pack because of their clear, refreshing appearance."
