DAIRY-LO®

1 of 2 products in this brand
DAIRY-LO® is an all-natural dairy protein concentrate designed to function as both a functional protein and a fat substitute in food formulations. It is created through a process in which whey protein concentrate, derived from carefully selected fresh sweet whey, is transformed into a food ingredient with unique functional properties. This product enables the production of fat-reduced, low-fat, and fat-free food products that maintain the eating appeal of their higher fat counterparts while presenting a cleaner label. When used as part of a fat replacement system, it helps preserve essential product qualities. Recommended applications for this product encompass reduced-fat, low-fat, and fat-free ice cream, frozen desserts, cheese, processed cheese products and salad dressings.
