Overcome high-protein yogurt production challenges
Taste and texture
Thick, gritty textures and off-flavors are a challenge in high-protein yogurt production. We'll help you match consumer preferences in your market with the right culture and enzyme combination. From spoonable products with a creamy mouthfeel to drinkables with refreshing textures - all with the perfect flavor balance.
Cost and processing
High-protein yogurt is made by separation and/or fortification. In fortified recipes, Galaya® Smooth reduces the need for costly advanced milk and whey proteins and the risk of process clogging. In separation, we choose cultures for your process that give your fermented milk base optimal separation properties.
Fat and sugar levels
Health-conscious consumers want more than high protein. They also want low/no added sugar and low fat. Give them everything they want, along with the textures they love, with biosolutions. Our cultures lower acidity, improve sweetness perception and build texture, so you can reduce sugar and fat content in your high-protein yogurts.
Shelf life
High-protein fermented milk production needs extra separation and/or fortification steps. These put products at higher risk of yeast and mold contamination. Fermentation-enabled bioprotection with FreshQ® can potentially extend shelf life through these production hurdles and right through to people’s homes.
