See the Ingredient Selector page for formula suggestions.

Nutritek^® demineralized whey is available at several different levels of mineral reduction. These products are specially engineered to reduce the sweetness and contribute a uniform grain to compound coatings and icings where a low level of salty flavor is desired.

Daritek^™whey protein concentrates can provide enhanced gelation and whipping properties along with the browning properties of whey ingredients for your confections. The flavor and texture of your caramel, nougat and marshmallow applications will be enhanced with these whey protein concentrates.

Lactose is available in several edible forms. Crystal size and type is tightly controlled to provide the desired solubility, mouthfeel and physical properties. Lactose provides the functional properties of a crystallizable sugar without the sweetness of sucrose. Panned candies, marshmallow, hard candy and caramelized confections will all benefit from the functionality of lactose.

Teklac^® sweet dairy whey can add to the texture, flavor and color you desire with economics that you need in a variety of confections.
