Low Sugar Chocolate
Solmiko is our range of advanced milk protein isolates and concentrates. Solmiko is manufactured from fresh ultra-filtered skim milk. It is an excellent source of native micellar casein and whey proteins in the same ratio as found naturally in milk (80/20). In addition to its low bacterial and spore counts, Solmiko has excellent flavour, solubility and heat stability making it suitable for a range of nutritional applications.
Our high protein ingredient is tailored to help meet sugar reduction challenges in chocolate manufacturing while helping health conscience consumers seek BetterFor-You Indulgence.
Manufacturers can be challenged in creating Better for You chocolate alternatives while maintaining the desired taste and texture consumers expect. Desirable in chocolate is a firm solid product with a good snap at ambient conditions and glossy appearance that melts easily in the mouth with a smooth mouthfeel. Excessively soft or hard, poor snap, sticky surface, not melting readily in the mouth and a gritty mouthfeel are all defects in texture.
