Arla Foods Ingredients showcases high-protein solutions for Middle East and Africa
Arla Foods Ingredients is demonstrating how its whey solutions can help meet the growing demand for high-protein products in Africa and the Middle East .
Between 2017 and 2022 , the number of product launches with a high-protein or source of protein claim grew by an average of 17.64 % annually in the Middle East and Africa . Meanwhile , there is increasing interest in nutrient quality and origin , with 70 % of global consumers focused on the sources of protein in foods and beverages .
At Gulfood Manufacturing ( 7th to 9th November 2023 in Dubai ), Arla Foods Ingredients will showcase three concepts that demonstrate how the high-quality products in its whey protein range can meet these needs :
• A high-protein ice cream made from ingredients in the Nutrilac ® Protein Boost range . These microparticulated whey proteins are ideal for protein-rich ice cream because they offer low viscosity and perfect meltdown , as well as a mild creamy taste .
• A refreshing fermented protein drink based on Lacprodan ® HYDRO . 365 and Nutrilac ® FO-8571 . Because they minimise cloudiness and sedimentation , these 100 % whey-based hydrolysates can be used to create clear high-protein fermented beverages .
• A clear protein-enriched juice drink , in which Lacprodan ® ISO . Clear delivers the benefits of whey protein isolate . As well as being high in protein , it offers great taste with zero dry mouthfeel , contains no added sugar , and can be fortified with vitamins and minerals .

Consumers want complete proteins that deliver nutritional benefits – and they want them in products with great taste and texture .
Morten Kaas Hansen , Director of SBU Food at Arla Foods Ingredients , said : “ In recent years high-protein claims have increased in the Middle East and Africa as manufacturers respond to growing demand . However , as elsewhere in the world , it ’ s not just about the quantity of protein you pack into your product , but quality too . Consumers want complete proteins that deliver nutritional benefits – and they want them in products with great taste and texture . As these concepts demonstrate , the right whey protein ingredients can deliver both nutritional and functional benefits in a wide range of food and beverage applications .”
Gulfood Manufacturing takes place between 7th and 9th November at the Dubai World Trade Centre . Arla Foods Ingredients will exhibit at Booth # D8-27 in the Danish Pavilion .
