Westpro is expanding its SoluNateTM Caseinate portfolio in response to the rapidly evolving protein landscape as consumers shift towards functional nutrition and “on-the-go” lifestyles. It’s a new world of nutrition which includes meal replacements, sports and wellness powders, ready to drink (RTD) beverages, hybrid dairy plant formulations and supplementary nutrition.
Recognising this shift, we are introducing SoluNateTM Calcium Caseinate to our product range alongside our established SoluNateTM Sodium Caseinate. Calcium Caseinate has many advantages – it is naturally low in sodium and provides high-quality, slow-digesting protein and is a valuable source of calcium. Its other characteristics include excellent heat stability, strong emulsification and optimised water hydration. It also performs well under demanding processing conditions.
Calcium Caseinate now part of the Westpro stable
Westpro is continuing to invest in innovation across our protein portfolio, including the expansion of our SoluNateTM Caseinate range, to ensure we can meet the growing demand for dairy protein solutions that offer greater flexibility across nutrition, functionality and processing conditions.
Building on our established SoluNateTM Sodium Caseinate offering, Westpro is expanding the portfolio with the introduction of SoluNate™ Calcium Caseinate, giving customers greater choice and confidence that our solutions can support both current and future product development.
A strong foundation in Sodium Caseinate
Westpro SoluNate™ Sodium Caseinate has been established as a versatile ingredient across a wide range of food and nutrition applications. Produced from fresh acid casein curd and spray‑dried in Hokitika New Zealand, it delivers reliable emulsification, thickening, whipping and foaming functionality, alongside proven heat stability and a clean, neutral flavour profile.
These attributes make SoluNateTM Sodium Caseinate a dependable solution for applications such as RTD beverages, coffee creamers and performance nutrition, where consistent functionality and texture are critical.
Broadening the range with Calcium Caseinate
To complement this strong foundation, Westpro is introducing SoluNate™ Calcium Caseinate to the portfolio, offering an additional caseinate option with distinct nutritional and functional benefits. SoluNateTM Calcium Caseinate is naturally low in sodium and provides high‑quality, slow‑digesting protein alongside a valuable source of calcium.
It delivers excellent heat stability, strong emulsification and optimised water hydration, performing well under demanding processing conditions including UHT and retort treatments. These characteristics make it particularly well suited to high‑protein and nutritionally focused applications such as clinical and supplementary nutrition, sports and wellness powders, RTD beverages, meal replacements and hybrid dairy‑plant formulations.
