New isolated soy protein for beverages

Solbar, Israel, will launch calcium-fortified isolated soy protein Solpro 735 for use in beverage applications at the IFT Food Expo in Chicago.

"Solpro 735 contains an ideal balance of essential amino acids", said David Kraus, global application manager.

"The calcium fortification brings the calcium level of Solpro 735 to 3% while protein level is 80%. Cow's milk contains typically 3% protein and 0.12% calcium. Thus formulating with Solpro 735 makes it easy to reach these typical values."

The crème/off-white product has a bland flavor profile that maintains low viscosity.

By stirring, it is dispersible even in cold water; requires minimal preparation time and makes it an easy product to use.

Solpro 735 can be used dry beverage blends (DBB) and other powdered drinks to be reconstituted with water and or juice prior to consumption.

It can be used in ready to drink (RTD) beverages and those that are UHT processed.

Major applications include calcium-fortified soy milk and other soy beverages.
