MilkyMist, a renowned dairy innovator from South India, has teamed up with SIG and AnaBio Technologies to introduce the world’s first long-life probiotic buttermilk in aseptic carton packs. This groundbreaking development, showcased at Gulfood Manufacturing 2024 in Dubai, represents a major breakthrough in the beverage industry, allowing probiotics to be incorporated into shelf-stable drinks in aseptic cartons for the first time.
Probiotics are valued for their gut health and immunity-boosting benefits, but until now, incorporating live probiotics into long-life beverages has been hindered by the heat treatments used in Ultra-High-Temperature (UHT) processing, which compromised probiotic viability. The combination of its patented encapsulation technology and its gentle aseptic filling technology has overcome this challenge, enabling it to offer probiotic buttermilk that remains shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration.
Dr K Rathnam, chief executive officer of MilkyMist, said, "We are thrilled to offer our probiotic buttermilk, a groundbreaking product that combines health and convenience, reduces energy consumption and food waste thus helping us bringing the goodness of probiotics to the people. This game-changing product not only offers consumers a healthy and nutritious option but also ensures long shelf-life without the need for refrigeration. We look forward to seeing this product make a positive difference in the lives of consumers.”
Christoph Wegener, chief markets officer of SIG, said, “We are proud to display an ingenious example of a new product category expansion: long-life probiotic buttermilk in an aseptic carton pack. It has health benefits and overcomes the limitations of fresh probiotic drinks. With a longer shelf life and no need for refrigeration, we significantly increase the reach and can bring the goodness of probiotics to the people. The way is paved for many more amazing long-life probiotic products in our aseptic packaging solutions.”
Dr Aidan Fitzsimons, CEO of AnaBio Technologies, said, “We are truly excited to partner with MilkyMist and SIG to bring the health benefits of live probiotics to the consumer in a long life aseptic dairy drink incorporating encapsulated probiotics. Through the collaboration of the three companies' expert teams, MilkyMist will offer consumers a great tasting product, delivering the health benefits of live probiotics, in a convenient long shelf-life format. This is a real step forward in innovation in the field of probiotic beverage products and represents a significant contribution to consumer health.”
