Technical Specifications

Brand: Lactogel

Protein Content: 25–40% (up to 44% for special formulations)

Packaging: 20 kg and 25 kg polypropylene (PP) laminated polyethylene bags

Application: Set and stirred yogurt production

Functionality:  Enriches the milk base with high-quality dairy proteins, improves gel  firmness, reduces syneresis (whey separation), and enhances overall  creaminess and stability of the final yogurt.

Recommended Applications

Set Yogurt: Creates a smooth, firm gel ideal for premium cup yogurts.

Stirred Yogurt: Maintains body and thickness after mechanical agitation.

High-Protein Yogurt: Enables development of sports and fitness market products.

Greek-Style  Yogurt: Increases protein concentration and reduces syneresis,  achieving the creamy density of traditional Greek yogurt.

Critical Review

While  Protogel offers excellent physical and functional improvements, some  sensory studies show that very high protein enrichment may slightly  affect flavor or aroma perception. 

To  achieve optimal performance, manufacturers should fine-tune process  parameters (pasteurization temperature, homogenization pressure, and  starter culture selection).

Although the  initial cost can be higher than conventional stabilizers, the overall  profitability increases due to higher quality, market differentiation,  and reduced product waste.

Conclusion

Lactogel  Yogurt Improver is an intelligent choice for dairy producers seeking to  enhance product quality, increase protein content, and achieve superior  texture and shelf stability.

With its  optimized protein ratio, hygienic industrial packaging, and scientific  validation, Lactogel stands out as a premium functional ingredient for  modern dairy processing.
