NIZO Dairy Webcast Series: Designing and substantiating healthier products

How to develop dairy products that are healthier and how to substantiate those health benefits?

September 28, 3 - 3.30 PM CET

Among the opportunities facing the dairy sector, we see increasing consumer demand for healthier products, as well as for products perceived as ‘more natural’, with fewer additives. Besides, there is also greater market interest for products enriched with health-benefit ingredients, such as prebiotic fibres, bio-active proteins and probiotics. Milk is the ideal basis for the common dairy products, but also for sports and medical nutrition. Besides, the industry continues to develop new ingredients to meet evolving market and consumer demands.

Therefore, the dairy industry thus faces a dual challenge: to develop products that are healthier, and to substantiate those health benefits.

In a virtual presentation on Tuesday, September 28, 3-3.30PM CET, Natalie Hotrum, Senior Project Manager Dairy Technology, will explain how to explore and substantiate health benefits in dairy foods. This webcast will explain how we do this in practice, based on four dairy related cases:

✔️ ’Clean Label’ low calorie ice cream without additives.

✔️ Observing the potential role of the product matrix on the rate of amino acid absorption in the gut.

✔️ Exploring the potential health impact of soluble fibre as a prebiotic.

✔️ ️ Using dairy foods as a matrix for probiotics.

For more than seven decades, NIZO has been working with dairy producers to increase the value of their applications. We have developed our own culture collection, casein micelle models, spray drying models, and high-throughput sequencing platforms for food safety and chain control, to name only a few.

The take away of this Webcast is how to develop healthier dairy products and substantiate the health impact.
