Demand for dairy proteins is forecast to rise significantly in the coming years as manufacturers and consumers begin to realize their full potential, according to Arla Foods Ingredients.
The company stated that the supplies of dairy proteins such as whey have come under global pressure recently as the appeal for the ingredient has increased among consumers.
Arla Foods Ingredients North America president Susie Moller Hjorth said: "Demand for quality dairy proteins is now coming in from all angles."
Arla Foods Ingredients will showcase its full range of dairy protein ingredients at IFT 2013 Food Expo in Chicago from 13-16 July. The company's bakery team will present an apple-spiced muffin that demonstrates the ability of functional milk proteins to maximize the sensory appeal of a egg-free recipe.
The company's nutritional experts will talk about the company's whey protein hydrolysate Lacprodan Hydro.365 for rapid sports recovery and Lacprodan DI-7017 for nutritional ready-to-drink beverages with a neutral pH.
