Protein for drinking yogurt

Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a protein based solution which enables dairies operating a set yogurt production line to make drinking yogurt using their existing equipment.

The Nutrilac protein ingredient is added to the manufacturing process at the beginning of the production cycle. It subsequently prevents the yogurt from setting, resulting in a liquid yogurt drink with a protein level of up to 5%.

Colours, flavours, sugars and sweeteners can be added at the beginning of the manufacturing process as usual, along with ingredients for fortification such as calcium, fibre and probiotic bacteria.

Torben Jensen, category manager for fresh dairy products at Arla Foods Ingredients, says, “Our Nutrilac protein offers an easy way for dairies to add another product range to their portfolio, and to make much better use of their existing production line.”
