After Chris' report this week, Will and Ben are joined by Luis Cubel, Group Vice President and Managing Director of Arla Foods Ingredients to discuss the acquisition of the Volac Whey nutrition business last year. Luis gives an overview of why AFI was interested in Volac, with a change in consumer habits and the growth in popularity of Whey protein and where Volac sits in the context of other investments. He discusses what products they will be marketing, plans for investment in the site and what this means for current Arla farmers, especially in terms of adding value to the Arla business.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not constitute advice.

In a special episode of the PricePlow Podcast that includes a tasting panel, we welcome Sebastian Poulsen, Application Scientist at Arla Foods Ingredients, to explore the future of ready-to-drink protein beverages. Alongside returning guest Preston Losee, Sebastian guides us through an extensive sampling of innovative protein drink concepts powered by beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), demonstrating how this powerful protein fraction is revolutionizing the RTD landscape through superior taste, texture, and functionality. Building upon our previous discussions about Arla's protein innovations in Episode #108 and Episode #145, this conversation focuses on the practical applications of BLG in beverages, from clear protein waters to carbonated drinks and medical nutrition solutions. Sebastian explains the critical role of protein chemistry and pH control in formulation, while sharing insights from his extensive experience in Arla's application center. Through live taste-testing, we experience firsthand how BLG enables unprecedented protein concentrations while maintaining exceptional clarity and mouthfeel – including an impressive 21-gram protein shot that delivers over 3 grams of leucine in just 3 fluid ounces. We also come up with an idea for an energy drink that includes 10 grams of protein! The sampling session reveals remarkable versatility across various applications – from sparkling protein sodas to nutrition-packed medical beverages – each demonstrating why BLG represents the next generation of protein innovation. For brands looking to differentiate in the crowded RTD market, these formulations showcase how Arla Foods Ingredients continues pushing boundaries in protein beverage development, offering solutions that combine excellent taste with meaningful nutritional benefits for diverse consumer needs. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/rtd-protein-innovation-arla-foods-ingredients-161 Video: Protein RTD Science and Innovation with Sebastian Poulsen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg4ZjmSV3YY Detailed Show Notes: The Arla Foods Ingredients RTD Tasting (0:00) – Introducing Sebastian Poulsen & Arla Foods Ingredients (2:45) – The Chemistry Behind Clear Proteins (9:00) – High Acid vs. Low Acid Applications (13:15) – The Many Applications of BLG (17:00) – Real-World Testing: The First Taste Test (21:45) – Exploring Protein Chemistry and Stability (25:00) – Special Applications: Medical Nutrition & Hydration (31:00) – Innovation in Carbonated Protein Beverages?!

On Episode #145 of the PricePlow Podcast, Mike and Ben sit down with Christian Jonassen and Preston Losee from Arla Foods Ingredients to learn more about manufacturing protein bars and high-protein snacks – especially from the ingredient perspective. Arla Foods Ingredients is a subsidiary of Arla Foods, the world's fourth-largest dairy company. We recently covered their platform of protein powders specifically designed for protein bars in our article, “Making Protein Bars WORK with Arla Foods Ingredients“, and decided it was time to bring in an expert. Christian, who has a background in baking and food technology, focuses on the science of incorporating protein into baked goods, while Preston, an account manager, discusses Arla's involvement in the health and performance nutrition sector as a whole. They highlight the importance of ingredient selection in creating high-quality protein products, referencing a memorable protein brownie made with Arla's ingredients that impressed at the Arnold 2024 expo. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/protein-bar-science-arla-foods-ingredients-145 Video: Protein Bar Science and Ingredients with Christian Jonassen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDOdsUoHI4Y (00:00) – Introduction and Background (03:00) – The Science of Baking and Protein Incorporation (09:30) – Collaboration with Brands (13:15) – Carbohydrate Sources as Binders (19:30) – Impact of Carbohydrate Sources on Shelf Stability and Sensory Perception (23:15) – Protein Bar Development (29:00) – Carbs and Texture (34:45) – On Glycerol (39:00) – PB8420 as a Plug-and-Play Solution (45:00) – Maximizing Protein Content (48:30) – Collagen in Protein Bars (52:45) – Sample Recipes for Brands (56:30) – Everyone's Favorite Protein Bars?

https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/arla-foods-ingredients-whey-protein-108 Here on PricePlow, we're happy to eat some crow. We recently mentioned that there hasn't been much innovation in protein itself, and that most innovation has been coming in the add-on ingredients and protein enhancement technologies. It turns out that we were wrong — there's plenty of protein innovation coming, especially in the field of whey protein. To understand more, we brought on two experts in the field of dairy proteins to explain: Arla Foods Ingredients: Innovating Whey Protein Jakob Madsen Pedersen and Preston Losee of Arla Foods Ingredients joined the PricePlow Podcast for Episode #108 to give us a “Dairy 101” lesson, and explain what the protein experts are up to in the coming months. Arla Foods Ingredients is a subsidiary of Arla Foods, the Danish dairy conglomerate that serves as the world's third-largest dairy. After learning about their dairy process in general, we get to learn about the innovative new liquids and powders coming from Arla Foods Ingredients, including ISO WaterShake (a better clear whey protein isolate than what's currently on the market) and Beta Lactoglobulin (BLG), which has a higher percentage of leucine inside. This was educational, and coming after this on PricePlow, we've put together a contest with three manufacturers to see who can flavor ISO WaterShake the best.

With all the changes to the baking industry over the last two years, how companies interacted with customers was a big one. Trade shows, face-to-face demonstrations, and lab visits were uncertainties or simply impossible. Here is how one ingredient supplier met these challenges head on. Your BAKED in Science host Mark Floerke invites Anne Hoest Stenbaek from Arla Foods Ingredients. With over 20 years of international marketing communication experience with both BtC and BtB in the food value chain, she is now Head of Marketing at the whey-based ingredient supplier (https://bakerpedia.com/ingredients/whey-protein/). As the company heeded into 2021, they found the pandemic had completely disrupted their go-to marketing strategy. Even as tentative trade shows were scheduled, Arla Foods Ingredients decided to fully embrace online solutions by directing their marketing budget to create an in-house webinar platform and broadcasting studio. Anne shares with Mark about the strategy behind this move, and how it's paid off even as some business returns to normal. The two discuss topics such as: - Demonstrating products and labs online - Connecting with customers - Digital solutions - Producing webinars - Marketing strategies Learn more about Arla Food Ingredients' whey and protein solutions for bakers: https://www.arlafoodsingredients.com/bakery/
