Once viewed mainly as a processing efficiency tool, membrane technologies are now helping producers recover more value from existing streams, develop new ingredients to meet rising consumer demand and extend product portfolios into adjacent categories.
Dairy producers are evaluating membrane systems differently, looking beyond throughput to understand how those systems can help recover more value from existing streams.
Sleep is a fundamental aspect of overall health and is featured in the American Heart Association’s “Life’s Essential 8,” along with diet and physical activity. As a result, consumers are increasingly seeking practical, evidence-based methods to promote healthy sleep patterns, notes Matthew Pikosky.
Can ice cream be healthy? This column, written by William Sipple and Steve Young, is devoted to the topic in honor of this month’s health and wellness theme.
The dairy industry is debating cow's milk vs. plant-based alternatives while non-bovine milks from goats, sheep, camels, donkeys, and buffalo are gaining traction. These milks offer unique nutritional benefits, becoming vital in specialized nutrition and new product development.
Protein as an ingredient is no longer a trend, but an integral part of modern food positioning. Several forces are driving the protein phenomenon simultaneously.
In order to get a better understanding of the latest trends and innovations in secondary packaging, Dairy Foods hosted a conversation with Peter Fox, CEO of SOMIC Packaging.
Dairy processors are focusing on utility reduction, water recovery, and efficiency due to rising energy costs and sustainability pressures. Membranes are key for lowering thermal demand, recovering water, and enhancing product yield in these operations.
As Americans increasingly prioritize fitness and personalized nutrition, ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers are innovating by rethinking formulations, sweeteners, and portion sizes to meet nutritional goals while satisfying indulgence, notes Mary Wilcox.
As consumers undergo huge diet shifts, dairy plays a huge role, thanks to its offerings of high protein counts in small food servings, in addition to other health benefits — such as vitamins and amino acids — they can provide.
Educational track at the Membrane Technology Forum explores cleaning, sanitation and monitoring strategies designed to improve membrane performance, reduce resource consumption and extend membrane life.
