UHT Beverages
Advanced, high-quality proteins naturally rich in essential amino acids
SolmikoHD is manufactured from fresh ultra-filtered skim milk. It is an excellent source of native micellar casein and whey proteins in the same ratio as found naturally in milk (80/20).
With over 40 years’ experience in manufacturing our milk proteins, we’ve been able to develop highly efficient spray-drying technology to create a higher bulk density powder with high nutritional value.
Manufacturing Challenges
Heat stability
Heat stability is an important attribute of milk protein powders, especially when used in the creation of UHT beverages. Flecking and lumping can be a challenge for manufactures if their products struggle with UHT and retort conditions. SolmikoHD MPC & MPI products demonstrate increased heat stability over competitor MPC & MPI from the market.
Rehydration
Solubility is an important feature for milk powders. Poorly soluble powders can cause processing difficulties and consumer usage difficulties which result in economic loss. SolmikoHD has excellent rehydration properties which makes it highly functional, performs well for manufacturing in industrial use and consumer RTM applications.
Higher bulk density
The bulk density of milk powder is an economically, commercially, and functionally important property. A high bulk density reduces volume, saves packaging and enables product handling. We apply a specialised HD technology to our milk protein production which creates a higher bulk density in our SolmikoHD milk powders.
