12 Jul 2010 --- Solbar, Israel, a global producer of specialty soy proteins, will launch at the IFT Food Expo in Chicago (booth #4077) an innovative and healthy product - calcium fortified Isolated Soy Protein - Solpro 735, for use in a wide range of beverage applications.

"Solpro 735 is an isolated soy protein with highly nutritious protein, containing an ideal balance of essential amino acids", said David Kraus, Global Application Manager of Solbar. "The calcium fortification brings the calcium level of Solpro 735 to 3% while protein level is 80%. Cow's milk contains typically 3% protein and 0.12% calcium. Thus formulating with Solpro 735 makes it easy to reach these typical values."

The product is of crème/off-white color and with bland flavor profile maintaining low viscosity. By simply stirring, it is dispersible even in cold water; requires minimal preparation time and makes it an easy product to use.

Solpro 735 is designed for beverage applications where calcium fortification is required. It is a perfect match for dry beverage blends (DBB) and other powdered drinks to be reconstituted with water and or juice prior to consumption. Solpro 735 can be used in ready to drink (RTD) beverages as well as those that are UHT processed. Major applications are for calcium fortified soy milk and other soy beverages.
