Functional Ingredients
At United Dairy Foods, we provide functional ingredients that offer key benefits for enhancing the nutritional value, texture, and overall quality of food products. These ingredients are critical in formulating health-focused and high-performance foods, especially in the dairy, nutritional, and food service industries.
Element
Caseinates (Sodium, Calcium)
Caseinates are valuable for their functional properties, including emulsification and water-binding capabilities, making them ideal for use in dairy products, bakery items, and nutritional supplements. They enhance texture, stability, and nutritional content.
Prebiotics (GOS, FOS)
These prebiotics, known for promoting gut health and improving digestive function, are widely used in dairy products, nutritional supplements, and functional beverages to cater to health-conscious consumers.
Prebiotics (HMO)
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are bioactive carbohydrates found in breast milk, playing a key role in infant health. Among them, 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is the most abundant HMO. It supports gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria, enhances the intestinal barrier, and reduces pathogen adhesion, lowering infection risks. Additionally, 2'-FL modulates the immune system, aiding in the development of immune tolerance. Its applications include incorporation into infant formulas, functional foods, and supplements to mimic the health benefits of natural breast milk.
With our functional ingredients, United Dairy Foods helps you create innovative, health-forward products that meet the demands of today's evolving food industry.
