Choosing the right protein for your snack bar – white paper

Formulating with protein in nutritional bars can be challenging given that increasing the protein content can impact both the texture and the taste of the final product. Kerry has developed an extensive selection of high-quality dairy and plant proteins to meet the functional needs of the nutritional bar sector: Ultranor™ is a range of high-quality, intact milk proteins. The range is produced from fresh skimmed milk of Irish grass-fed cows. ProDiem™ is a unique plant protein portfolio optimized for nutrition, taste, and texture. Using high-quality plant sources such as pea, rice, and sunflower, ProDiem delivers great taste and texture while enabling the nutritional profile of a protein to be optimized. 

Learn more about formulating with these proteins and about Kerry’s proprietary processing technique “Total Novel Texture” (TNT) and taste-masking technology. The combination of its protein and processing technique results in superior shelf-life stability and helps target solutions to support bar manufacturers to formulate to specific consumer demands, including low-sugar/clean-label protein bars.
