Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) has developed a solution that increases the protein content of juice-style oral nutrition supplements (ONS) for medical nutrition to 7% without compromising on taste or mouthfeel. Featuring Lacprodan BLG-100 as the star ingredient, the new ingredient features authorization from the European Commission and also delivers essential amino acids in an easy format.
"Juice-style options are a promising alternative to traditional milky oral nutritional supplements, but there has been room for improvement regarding their protein profile,” says Troels Nørgaard Laursen, director for health and performance at AFI.
Leucine, one of the necessary amino acids, is abundant in Lacprodan BLG-100. With this substance, brands are able to provide consumers with a non-milky substitute that helps address malnutrition and muscle loss.
