Lactalis Drives High-Protein Dairy Innovation
Lactalis Ingredients is accelerating innovation in high-protein dairy solutions, showcasing advanced whey and casein-based ingredients designed for functional nutrition applications at Food Ingredients China (March 17–19, 2026, Shanghai).
The company highlighted a portfolio of high-performance dairy proteins—including Laktein WPC80 for protein enrichment, Pronativ native whey proteins for sports nutrition, rennet casein for cheese analogs and protein bars, and Flowhey whey powders for diverse applications—targeting growing demand for nutrient-dense foods.
The innovations focus on delivering clean label appeal, stable texture and high nutritional value, enabling applications across beverages, snacks and dairy products. Lactalis also presented high-protein bar concepts combining whey and casein, reflecting a shift toward convenient, everyday functional foods.
The push comes amid rising consumer interest in high-protein diets for muscle health, immunity and weight management, with strong demand growth across China and the wider Asia-Pacific region, including among GLP-1 weight-management consumers seeking nutrient-dense options.
Lactalis emphasized that its native proteins—extracted directly from fresh milk through gentle membrane filtration—preserve natural structure, purity and amino acid profiles, positioning them as key ingredients for next-generation dairy innovation.
