Arla Foods Ingredients targets drinks for dietary needs

Arla Foods Ingredients has poured unique whey protein expertise into a new series of beverage concepts tailored to individual dietary needs.

'Drinkable nutrition' demonstrates the latest opportunities to fine-tune the health profile of beverages by applying highly specialized milk proteins and whey protein fractions and hydrolysates.

For manufacturers of sports nutrition, the company offers a beverage concept with a protein content of up to 10%, made possible by the whey protein isolate Lacprodan DI-9224.

This neutral-tasting protein is documented to support muscle recovery and growth after exercise.

Full protein functionality is maintained through the use of sterile filtration at neutral pH instead of heat treatment.

The high content of bioactive phospholipids in the ingredient provides the basis for a protein-rich beverage concept aimed at health-conscious consumers with a busy lifestyle.

Clinical studies have documented the ability of the phospholipid phosphatidylserine to improve memory and reduce stress.

Another beverage in the 'drinkable nutrition' series targets consumers in need of clinical nutrition.

An alternative to conventional casein-based beverages, this concept is high in whey protein, documented to provide the greatest biological value of all protein sources.

Branched chain amino acids contribute to protein synthesis.
