Stabilisers for plant-based yoghurts
Plant-based yoghurts are becoming increasingly popular with consumers around the world and have a global CAGR of a whopping 18% from 2021 - 2026. However, To succeed in this competitive market manufacturers need to replicate the stability, mouthfeel, texture and creaminess that consumers love from their dairy-based counterparts and that can be a challenging process.
With stabiliser-blend Palsgaard® AcidMilk 310 in the mix, it won't be.

Say goodbye to syneresis
In Palsgaard's 2021 survey of 1,307 consumers in Mexico, France, Russia, the USA, and Vietnam we learned that water separation within plant-based yoghurts is a point of concern for consumers. More than seven in ten respondents (71.8%) said they had noticed water on the surface of their plant-based yoghurt products, with men being more likely to notice this than women. Of the people we surveyed, 90.1% of the men said they had noticed water separation compared with 69.2% of female respondents. Some countries were significantly higher than average here with 79.5% of respondents from the USA and 80.2% of those from Vietnam noticing this issue. While the products are still safe to eat (if consumed within the recommended timeframe), this phenomenon could potentially be off-putting for consumers.
Palsgaard® AcidMilk 310 can help to minimize this effect, thereby improving the visual quality – and the mouthfeel – of the plant-based yoghurt once opened.
