High-protein concepts on show in Paris

Arla Foods Ingredients is showing its capabilities in milk and whey protein innovation, with an exhibition of its new high-protein food and beverage concepts at Fi Europe, which is being held from 2–4 December in Paris.

Research shows that more than 40% of health-conscious consumers are opting for dairy products to boost their protein intake, while over 30% choose them for guilt-free snacking. Meanwhile, there is growing interest in innovative dairy formats targeting specific nutritional needs.¹

At the event, Arla Foods Ingredients will demonstrate how its portfolio of milk and whey protein ingredients can meet these needs. Its stand (71G8) will include five new application concepts:

• A high-protein, transparent yoghurt
• A drinking yoghurt with hydrolysed whey protein, with 25 g of protein per serving
• Milky Spark, a carbonated, flavoured, milk-like drink made with pure whey protein
• A gluten-free high-protein (27%) cookie with a soft-baked texture and no added sugar
• A high-protein (25%) brownie with an authentic fudgy texture and no added sugar.

Visitors will also be able to sample a range of other concepts for functional, nutritious foods and beverages, including a squeezable cheese, a drinking yoghurt and a kids’ UHT drink featuring Nutrilac milk fat globule membrane (MFGM).
