Nutrition
Consumers are clearly leaning towards healthier, more
nutritious food products and are easily swayed by health claims on
labels. Consumers are already aware that dairy products are by
nature an excellent source of calcium. However, producers recognize
that additional nutritional value can attract more customers by
further increasing the healthy image of end-products.
A trend is seen that products are calcium fortified with
levels up to 50% of the RDI (1000mg, serving 240 ml). With these
high amounts of minerals some big challenges needs to be overcome.
The impact on taste of the products should be as minimal as
possible. Also the solubility of most of the calcium salts is too
poor especially when a beverage is made out of syrup or a
concentrate. Purac supplies PURACAL calcium sources, which are
ultimately suitable to develop high calcium fortified foods such as
fruit juice/concentrates and dairy products. Beside the high
solubility the salts are proven to be as bioavailable as calcium
from cow milk.
Highly calcium fortified products support the development of
successful "strong bones" formulation and reduce the risk of
osteoporosis.
Purac's mineral lactates and gluconates are used to fortify dairy
products such as milk and fermented dairy products. Our portfolio
includes calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and potassium.
