FermWhey™
Gel
FermWhey™ Gel is an enhanced functionalized whey protein designed to provide natural gelling properties, enabling clean-label formulations with a smooth, creamy texture. It is the ideal ingredient for healthy high-protein snacks like spoonable dairy products, fresh and meltable cheese, and meal replacements, offering superior gel strength and excellent nutritional value.
Unlocking new functionalities in Dairy & Food applications
Creating healthier, clean-label food products often comes with a major challenge: achieving the right texture while limiting additives and ultra-processed ingredients. Commonly used gums, carrageenan, and modified starches help with structure but place products in the ultra-processed category, impacting consumer perception and nutritional quality.
Although whey proteins are well known for their superior nutritional value, they have historically lacked the necessary gelling properties to replace texturizing additives, limiting their applications in structured dairy and food formulations.
FermWhey™ Gel harnesses our proprietary GelFactor™ technology, a patented thermo-mechanical process that leverages the repulsive ionic strength of whey proteins to enhance their natural gelling properties. This allows proteins to form structured gels simply in the presence of calcium or through acidification at cold temperatures, eliminating the need for artificial stabilizers while preserving the product’s nutritional profile.
