Deliver Indulgent Delights
People have high expectations about dairy! They choose products that deliver their desired flavor, mouthfeel, and nutritional requirements. For creamers, ice cream, and frozen desserts, people want an indulgent and exciting taste adventure, and their expectations carry over to plant-based counterparts. Whether dairy-based or plant-based, formulators must create products with the texture, nutrition, label claims, and taste that align with consumer needs.
The complex nuances of launching a delicious dairy product include more than flavor selection. Partnering with a flavor supplier can bring more than ingredients to your laboratories and production lines. Our team can help you ideate, trial, and scale up your finished good with insights expertise, regulatory support, and extensive application and flavor creation capabilities.
Bring Dairy Concepts to Life with Microthermics Support
At our Kalamazoo Innovation Center, we offer pilot-scale UHT and HTST processing through an advanced Microthermics unit. These capabilities allow dairy formulators to replicate pasteurization processes before full-scale production. With hands-on support from our applications team, customers can test formulations, optimize flavor performance, and reduce time to market. Our pilot plant supports innovation, speed, and confidence in dairy food and beverage development.
