PLANT BASED DAIRY ALTERNATIVES
ICL Food Specialties
Global experts in texture and stability
For over 50 years ICL has proudly offered specialty
phosphate solutions to the dairy beverage
industry. The diverse ICL portfolio consists
of high-quality functional phosphate and mineral
systems to deliver buffering, pH adjustment,
protein protection and shelf life enhancement.
In the growing plant-based beverage market
ICL knows that fortification and stability
are important to consumers. ICL’s micronized
tricalcium phosphate, CAL-Sistent®,
delivers the calcium customers want in an
easy-to-utilize particle size for the beverage
industry. Further, ICL offers magnesium
and potassium-based ingredients as
well as options for sodium reduction, such
as ICL’s Salona® sea salt. Salona® is tailored
to help reduce sodium in products up to 25%
without compromising quality or taste.
Protection during processing is key to maintaining
product quality and stability throughout
shelf-life. ICL’s premium blends, JOHA® and
BEKAPLUS®, are superior solutions for non-dairy
beverage stability. These functional blends of
phosphates offer excellent buffering capability,
pH adjustment and protein protection for
plant based RTDs. Whether it is ESL, UHT,
or retort processing, both work to protect
emulsions from heat-induced acid formation.
JOHA® and BEKAPLUS® solutions help
achieve product stability by binding minerals
that cause unwanted protein separation
and sedimentation.
ICL goes above and beyond supplying ingredients
for their customers, whether it involves
co-developing at their locations or working inhouse
at one of ICL’s global technical centers
in the US, Germany, or Brazil. ICL’s technical
centers are fully equipped with HTST/UHT
and retort capabilities to assist customers in
development, formulation and testing. Further,
ICL offers technical assistance so they can stay
connected to the process even after product
launch.
