Dairy products are rich in valuable proteins that many consumers want in their diet. Proteins tend to separate from acidic solutions like yoghurt-based beverages, smoothies, acidified milk drinks or milk and fruit juice blends, causing unappealing lumps and sedimentation. A wide variety of solutions is available including Hydrocolloids, Starched, Proteins, Cultures, Emulsifiers and Flavourings.
Some products incorporate limited dairy components but mimic similar dairy products. These include soy milk, recombined milk, non-dairy creamers, and imitation cheese, and can be novel, cost effective or provide dairy equivalents where cow's milk is not available.
