IFF announced has launched a lactalse enzyme called Danisco Nurica
in China, offering a new way for dairy producers to create a
premium product to fulfil consumer health needs while increasing
profitability.
Nurica enables manufacturers to naturally produce dietary
fibers in the form of GalactoOligoSaccharides (GOS) in situ by
transforming lactose in dairy products. GOS have been shown to
increase populations of health-promoting species of gut bacteria,
and as such has potential in prebiotic innovations and improving
gut health. In application trials, the Nurica lactase has shown no
detectable impact on the acidification process, taste or texture.

Arla Foods Ingredients is product innovation partner in a new
four-year project to turn papaya fruit into a nutritious and affordable
snack for low-income consumers in Ethiopia. Led by the
Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the project brings
together multiple public-private partners. Their ultimate objective
is to build a fruit processing value chain that will help reduce
malnutrition, create jobs and cut post-harvest papaya loss.
The application team at Arla Foods Ingredients has already developed
the first prototype recipes for a dried fruit protein bar
based on papaya pulp and containing milk and whey-based ingredients.

Hydrosol
For toppings for hot dogs, pasta or convenience products, Hydrosol
offers a stabilising system for making spreadable cheese
analogues for squeeze tubes. The system gives a creamy mouthfeel
even with just 20% cheese content, and the products can
be eaten hot or cold. For example, they can be heated to about
40 °C before eating, and adhere to warm pasta very well. Due
to their high viscosity, the products can be filled and marketed
in various kinds of tubes and squeeze packages.
From milk drinks and vegetable-based cream for whipping or
cooking, to breakfast cream, to yogurt products for spoon eating
or drinking, the Stabisol and Stabimuls series of functional
systems offer a wide spectrum of possibilities for cost-reduced
recipes. Another special feature is that in combination with
protein mixes from the Stabiprot series, manufacturers can also
make premium products to satisfy the consumer demand for
protein-rich puddings.
