What challenges occur in making yogurt with higher protein and can they be overcome?

Formulators frequently struggle with producing higher protein yogurts without a gritty or grainy mouthfeel and chalkiness. Our IdaPlus 1085 milk protein solves this dilemma with reduced calcium phosphate content, which opens up the structure of casein micelles, allowing for quicker dispersion and hydration. The dispersion of the proteins significantly reduces any graininess or chalkiness typically…

Is there a type of MPC that works best in Greek-style and traditional yogurt applications?

Our new IdaPlus 1085 is a functional protein that works extremely well in Greek-style and traditional yogurt applications where stronger gel set and less syneresis is desired. Due to proprietary processing, IdaPlus 1085 provides more serum phase casein than a standard MPC. The serum phase casein interacts with whey proteins better than casein micelles, which…

Is there a type of MPC that works best in drinking yogurt applications?

Our new IdaPlus 1085 is a functional protein that works extremely well in drinking yogurt applications. In drinking yogurts, even at higher protein levels, it delivers lower viscosity than standard MPCs and maintains it over the shelf life of the product. A reduction of calcium phosphate in IdaPlus 1085 decreases the number of casein interactions…

Is there a type of MPC that works best in different yogurt applications (Drinking, Greek and Clean label Traditional Yogurts)?

Drinking Yogurts – IdaPlus 1085 improves viscosity, even at higher levels of protein, due to removal of minerals. Greek Yogurt – IdaPlus 1085 provides a stronger gel set and better texture with improved solubility. Clean Label Yogurts – IdaPlus 1085 provides a stronger gel set and better texture with improved solubility.
