Davisco whey proteins showcased at IFT Food Expo

DAVISCO, business unit of Agropur Inc. is showasing new whey protein ingredients at the Institute of Food Technologists Food Expo in Chicago 12-14 July (Booth 961). The products are best for fortifying snacks foods and nutritional food and drinks.

Davisco makes 65% of the whey protein isolates sold worldwide. Its Alpha-lactalbumin ingredient may be used in infant nutrition products and nutritional products seeking high levels of natural tryptophan with whey protein quality and functionality.

The company cites as example a protein-packed 6 oz. nighttime beverage containing 20 grams high quality Alpha-lactalbumin with approximately 2 grams leucine and 1 gram tryptophan. This concept shows the nutritional profile of Alpha-lactalbumin isolate, and the heat stability, clarity and clean-flavor suitable for aseptically-processed low acid beverages and supplements. This combination of protein per serving, amino acid profile and nutritional quality, clean-flavor, high clarity and superior heat stability in a low acid beverage is only possible with 90% pure Alpha-lactalbumin.
