Lacprodan BLG-100 Acidic has been launched by Arla Foods Ingredients as a high-performance whey protein solution for the medical nutrition sector.
The beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) solution was developed by the brand for ready-to-stir powder products and is arriving at the perfect time to coincide with reports related to patients not getting the proper nutrition they need. This comes alongside global surveys that see many patients failing to follow their medication nutrition plans due to the heavy, thick texture of standard supplements. The solution delivers 10-grams of high-quality protein in each 100ml with a low-viscosity, zero bitterness and a low astringency to make it highly palatable.
Head of Sales Development, Specialised Nutrition at Arla Foods Ingredients Mads Dyrvig spoke on the Lacprodan BLG-100 Acidic saying, "Too many hospital patients lack the nutrition to support their recovery. Lacprodan BLG-100 Acidic creates new opportunities for appealing foods and beverages for special medical purposes, enabling nourishing, varied, and convenient options for reduced appetites.”
