Towards New Functionality in Dairy Ingredients

澳大利亚乳制品行业在该国经济中扮演着重要角色，2016-2017年间的出口收入接近30亿美元。奶粉产品延长了保质期和运输便利性，优质产品的年增长率为20%，如浓缩牛奶蛋白和婴儿配方奶粉。该项目旨在通过研究新型高压加工技术在提高奶粉性能和/或引入新功能方面的影响，支持高附加值奶粉的开发。成功的结果将有助于扩大高价值乳制品原料的供应，从而提高澳大利亚乳制品制造业的全球竞争力。

The Australian dairy industry plays a significant part in the nation’s economy, with almost $3 billion in export revenue in 2016-2017. Powdered dairy products extend shelf life and ease of transport, with >20% annual growth in premium products, such as milk protein concentrates and infant formula powders. This project aims to support the development of value-added dairy powders by investigating the impact of a novel high pressure processing technology in enhancing the properties of dairy powders and/or introducing new functionality. Successful outcomes will help expand the offering of high value dairy ingredients and thus increase the global competitiveness of Australian dairy manufacturing.
