Nutritional Solutions, a new series of speciality proteins and hydrolysates for
the sports, diet, infant and clinical nutrition markets
INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has recently launched a series of unique proteins and hydrolysates with new and improved ways of incorporating them into products for the sports, diet, infant and
clinical nutrition markets. Known to date for their groundbreaking Bio-Actives range such as
Lactium®, CarbLiteTM and CranMax®, INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has been working to produce a
portfolio of milk derivative proteins which not only have outstanding nutritional properties but
are also innovative in their technical functionalities and numerous applicable qualities.
With products composed of 85% or more of protein on dry matter the Nutritional Solutions range offers one of the best, if not the highest quality set of proteins on the market. All the proteins are native and come from fresh milk through a non-denaturing process. INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL works closely with their clients, helping them through the different processes to achieve an end product the consumer loves.
Improved fluidity enabling easier incorporation in high protein drinks
The Nutritional Solutions range is showcasing a protein which enables a higher level of fluidity within
high protein beverages than INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL has successfully produced before. Their technology provides the opportunity to incorporate high levels of protein within a nutritional drink, previously difficult to achieve. Now, with this innovation, a more liquid and great textured high protein drink is available to be
developed to market. An excellent possible application is the sports drink industry, providing faster
recuperation and repair after exercise. This proposed drink is easily consumed unlike most
current highprotein sports drinks which are thick and can be unpleasant to drink.
Lowest known bitterness levels in the marketplace
INGREDIA NUTRITIONAL now offers protein hydrolysates with a lower bitterness than products currently on the market, increasing the possible applications for use. Due to the lower bitterness levels, time does not have to be spent trying to mask the usual bitter taste and increased quantities of hydrolysates can be used,
therefore in turn augmenting the nutritional benefits of the end product. One possible market destination
is infant nutrition, as hydrolysates are more easily digested than the other non-hydrolysed proteins, are
hypoallergenic and enable superior absorption of amino acids.
A range of attributes
The Nutritional Solutions proteins have different attributes to suit their flexible applications. This innovative
range, rich in nitrogenous matter (85% or over) provide one or more of the following:
- 100% native milk proteins
- high dispersibility
- 100% soluble proteins
- organic
- improved fluidity
- rich in caseins (92% of total protein)
- all new low bitterness
- low fat
- high microbiological profile
- low lactose or lactose free
These diverse characteristics make the range suitable for various markets. In addition to the sports and infant nutrition markets, proteins from within the range can be applied to the clinical nutrition industry, with end products’ specifications incorporating the highest microbiological standards. Additionally other Nutritional Solutions’ proteins have been specifically developed to meet the increasing needs of those who are lactose-intolerant, just one of the possible applications within the diet nutrition industry that the range can be adapted to.
