Dairy & Beverages
Growing international interest in healthy eating has led to a renewed emphasis on better-for-you snacks and beverages. There is an ever-expanding selection of products in these sectors, as manufacturers strive to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of consumers. Within the dairy and beverages arena, some of the most dynamic categories include functional spreads, fortified yoghurts and intrinsically healthy beverages.
Kerry Dairy Ingredients is ideally positioned to meet market demands for inherently nutritious, natural ingredients drawing upon the healthy connotations associated with dairy products. In particular our Speciality Dairy Ingredients and Functional Dairy Ingredients ranges offer flavour and functional solutions to meet all your requirements in a market showing promising growth forecasts on a global scale.
In Cheese and Spreads it could almost be said that a new generation of dairy has emerged with consumers’ pursuit for natural, great-tasting products that also offer functional benefits. In an attempt to appeal to health-conscious consumers this market has undergone some radical changes and Kerry Dairy Ingredients boasts an impressive range of natural, dairy ingredients to meet these challenges. These come primarily in the form of FlavorTone™ and Ultranor™, which offer low fat, flavoursome attributes whilst at the same time providing superior functional properties. Kerry can provide the essential ingredient solutions for your low in, fortified and functional claims through our high-quality cheese, dairy and milk protein products.
- FlavorTone™ – for high quality, natural, low-fat flavours
- Ultranor™ Performance Milk Proteins – for superior texture and mouthfeel
- Ultranor™ HT-10 – delivers high levels of calcium in a colloidal form
Another notable development in cheese and spreads, also prominent in the Desserts market, is the trend towards flavour experimentation and premiumisation. Yoghurt-enriched cheeses are a popular choice with consumers, whilst indulgent yet naturally healthy ingredients are popular in desserts. Kerry Dairy Ingredients can provide that all-important authentic flavour profile while also boasting the inherent goodness of a natural dairy range.
- Beatreme™ Cultured Dairy – Yoghurt Powders impart an authentic yoghurt flavour and is available in skim and full fat formats, plus an extensive cultured dairy range
- Crosana™ – indulgent sweet dairy ingredients with distinct caramelised notes
- FlavorTone™ – an extensive offering of cheese and dairy flavours
As highlighted above, health is a prominent driving force, and the Beverages category is no exception. Most notable developments have focused upon fortification, functionality and reduced sugar. Other better-for-you varieties have come in the shape of added-fibre, lighter options and natural lines.
In an attempt to meet demands for fortification, Kerry Dairy Ingredients has an array of high performance products that offer nutritional and functional properties for neutral pH and acid-stable beverages through its Ultranor™ range. Meanwhile, added fibre claims are possible with Ultranor™ GOS enriched whey. Healthier alternatives in the beverage category are likely to continue on their current growth path and there still remains potential to better market the natural qualities of ingredients used.
- San-A-Crème™ – nutritional lipid bases high in Omega 3 and Omega 6
- Ultranor™ Performance Milk Proteins – for superior texture and mouthfeel
- Ultranor™ HT-10 – delivers high levels of calcium in a colloidal form
- Ultranor™ GOS – galacto-oligosaccharide enriched whey powder
Our extensive offering in conjunction with application and technological expertise ensure we have an ingredients solution to satisfy your requirements in the ever-growing dairy, cheese and beverage sectors. Whether you require natural great-tasting flavours, fortification or superior functional characteristics, at Kerry Dairy Ingredients we have a solution to meet your specific application and process requirements.
