10 Dec 2012 --- Whey protein innovation is still a very hot topic for the international food industry – especially when it comes to targeted concepts for health and performance. That was the conclusion of the Arla Foods Ingredients team at Hi Europe 2012, in Frankfurt, where the company stand buzzed with visitors from start to finish. Arla Foods Ingredients had three products in the spotlight.

Breakthrough clinical nutrition
Lacprodan DI-7017 was among the nominees for a best innovation of the year award. Representing a breakthrough in whey protein technology, this new product enables the production of 100% whey-based, ready-to-drink beverages that provide effective, tasty nutrition primarily for elderly patients recovering from illness and surgery. Lacprodan DI-7017 is the first whey protein with the stability to withstand ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing.
