Liquefied dairy phase stabilization: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Phase separation and protein sedimentation in liquid dairy products lead to short shelf lives and poor mouthfeel. Engineering the interfacial tension and fat globule distribution maintains structural integrity in shelf-stable aerated systems.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Liquefied dairy phase stabilization?

Phase separation and sedimentation

(11)evidences

Liquefied dairy and analogues suffer from physical instability where fats and solids uncouple from the liquid phase. Preventing this degradation ensures shelf-life and consistent texture.

Unpleasant liquid mouthfeel

(4)evidences

Heat treatment causes divalent cations to trigger uncontrolled protein clustering and sedimentation. Preventing this degradation maintains beverage homogeneity and shelf-life.

Poor plant protein sensory profile

(2)evidences

Plant-based pastes often suffer from physical instability where solids settle or oils separate from the liquid phase. Preventing these structural failures ensures product uniformity and shelf stability.
