ALPAVIT Demin: Top quality for the manufacture of baby food and high quality food products

By using and combining the latest technologies such as ion exchange, electrodialysis and nanofiltration, coupled with our many years of experience in whey processing, we are able to manufacture products which meet the highest demands of quality.

With its well-balanced amino acid profile, the ALPAVIT Demin range provides a high quality source of protein which presents an ideal foundation for healthy infant formula.

 

Certified organic quality

Since 2018 we are able to offer our ALPAVIT Demin product range sourced from organic raw material as well (ALPAVIT Organic Demin 70 and ALPAVIT Organic Demin 90).

The EU organic logo ensures compliance with the legal requirements for production and also the careful processing of the raw materials used in accordance with the EU organic regulation.

The Chinese organic label entitles us as certified manufacturer to serve the Chinese market with organic products.

 

ALPAVIT Demin 90 is manufactured using a specially patented process. This process spares the product and also guarantees a maximum level of bacteriological product safety. The flexible combination of the latest demineralisation technologies enables it to meet specific customer demands. In this way, mineral profiles can be adjusted in a targeted way. ALPAVIT Demin 90 is therefore perfectly suited for the manufacture of high-quality baby food from the first month of life.

ALPAVIT Demin 70 is manufactured via the selective reduction of minerals. Particularly for follow-on formula, it offers all the features which are required of ingredients for baby food, such as an ideal source of protein and carbohydrate, well-balanced mineral composition and high stability during processing.

ALPAVIT Demin 90 and 70 are the highest quality sources of protein and carbohydrate. They stand out thanks to a well-balanced mineral composition and good and stable processibility. The high proportion of essential amino acids is ideal for the development of the body’s own proteins. Lysine and methionine and the improvement in the amino acid balanced associated with these complete the protein spectrum of vegetarian foodstuffs.

ALPAVIT Demin 50 is an important ingredient in the manufacture of a wide range of food products, particular confectionery and baked goods, due to a reduction in the salt content and its resulting impressive sensory profile.

ALPAVIT Lactose: Top quality for the highest demands

ALPAVIT Lactose is not a standard product. This is where more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing and consistent high quality pay off. Made from fresh whey, it is suitable, as a high-quality source of carbohydrate, primarily for use as a valuable component in baby food recipes, and also for all uses in the food product industry.

The natural Riboflavin content (Vitamin B2) in Lactose edible gives the product its typical light yellow color. The high purity makes Lactose a defining raw ingredient for a large number of applications in the dietary and foodstuff industries.

 

ALPAVIT Lactose is produced in different particle size distributions in pharma, direct compressible (DC), extrafine, refined and edible qualities for infant formula, food products and pharmaceuticals.

ALPAVIT Lactose Pharma is a α-lactose monohydrate and is produced according European Pharmacopoeia (Lactosum monohydricum), C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ · H₂O (M_r=360.3 g/mol).

Lactose is used as a pharmaceutical additive in the manufacture of tablets, capsules, powders and granulates.
 

ALPAVIT Lactose DC is particularly useful for the dry granulation of tablets (direct compressible).

ALPAVIT Lactose Extrafine  is obtained via an additional grinding process. It is highly recommended for viscous food applications.
 

a-Laktose Monohydrat
 

ALPAVIT Lactose Refined is produced by means of a double crystallization process. The fine quality which is achieved by this is used primarily in the baby food sector.
 

ALPAVIT Lactose Edible is suitable as a high-quality nutritious energy source or as a “mild sweetener” instead of sucrose in many food applications. The low level of sweetness in lactose (see table) of only approx. ⅓ in comparison to sucrose allows it to be used both for ‘sweet’ uses and ‘piquant’ uses where lactose also works as a flavor enhancer. Lactose is less cariogenic than other types of sugar.

For special use in organic applications we offer edible lactose from organic raw material: ALPAVIT Organic Lactose Edible

 

Sweetness of various carbohydrates:
Carbohydrate	Relative sweetness
Sucrose	1,0 (standard)
Fructose	1,3
Glucose	0,7
Lactose	0,3

For various food applications and strong performance

ALPAVIT WPC 30 is a high-quality whey protein concentrate. It is used in the food products industry both due to its high nutritional content and its special functional characteristics, mainly as a stabilizer and fat substitute in ice-cream, yogurt, confectionery and baked goods or as a substitute for skimmed milk powder.

ALPAVIT WPC 30 is characterized by:

• good fluidity
• pure, light sweet flavor
• functional features: Formation of emulsions and improvement of creaminess

 

ALPAVIT Delac 26 is a partially desugared sweet whey powder and important protein provider for diverse food product recipes. Due to its high mineral content, it is primarily suitable for salty-spicy products.

The most important fields of application and desired functional characteristics of ALPAVIT 30/8:
Use	Functionality
Ice-cream	Stabilization, creaminess, water binding, emulsification
Milk products Yogurt, cream cheese	Water binding, structure formation
Delicatessen, soups, sauces	water binding, emulsification
Baking	Stabilization, egg replacement

 

For organic health products ALPAVIT Organic WPC 80 is an excellent base due to its outstanding sensory characteristics and its valuable whey proteins and minerals. Especially for organic whey protein drinks we recommend ALPAVIT Organic WPC 80 Instant (with sunflower lecithin) due to its outstanding solubility properties.  Both products feature a high content of essential (EAA) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA).

 

Thanks to the special roller-drying technology, ALPAVIT Whole Milk Powder RD is well suited as a raw ingredient for chocolate manufacturing and fat-based masses. The high fat content and the special particle structure of roller-dried milk powder offers technological advantages in the manufacture of chocolate masses.

The intense milk flavor with light caramel notes makes for an outstanding taste in the final product.

We manufacture our ALPAVIT Whole Milk Powder RD organically and from Alpine milk by customer demand.

The difference in A2 protein

Nowadays ordinary cow milk contains two main types of proteins, namely A1 and A2 protein. A1 and A2 proteins only differ in one position due to the appearence of different amino acids. Yet this is the significant difference: when A2 milk is digested no BCM-7 (β-Casomorphin-7) occurs. For special application within infant nutrition we have recently launched our ALPAVIT A2 Skimmed Milk Powder.
