South Indian dairy company MilkyMist has teamed up with SIG<\/a> and AnaBio Technologies to introduce what is claimed to be the world\u2019s first long-life probiotic buttermilk in aseptic carton packs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This development, showcased at Gulfood Manufacturing 2024 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, allows probiotics to be incorporated into shelf-stable drinks in aseptic cartons.<\/p>\n

Probiotics are valued for their gut health and immunity-boosting benefits. Until now, incorporating live probiotics into long-life beverages has been hindered by the heat treatments used in ultra-high-temperature processing, which compromised probiotic viability.<\/p>\n

The combination of AnaBio Technologies\u2019 patented encapsulation technology and SIG\u2019s gentle aseptic filling technology has reportedly overcome this challenge, enabling MilkyMist to offer probiotic buttermilk that does not require refrigeration.<\/p>\n

MilkyMist CEO Dr K Rathnam said: \u201cWe are thrilled to offer our probiotic buttermilk, a groundbreaking product that combines health and convenience, reduces energy consumption and food waste thus helping us bringing the goodness of probiotics to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis game-changing product not only offers consumers a healthy and nutritious option but also ensures long shelf-life without the need for refrigeration. We look forward to seeing this product make a positive difference in the lives of consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

AnaBio\u2019s technology protects the probiotics with a protein coat, ensuring they withstand high temperatures during buttermilk processing and remain stable throughout the product\u2019s shelf life.<\/p>\n

This technology, along with SIG\u2019s aseptic filling technology, ensures a homogeneous suspension of probiotic cells per pack, allowing the safe filling of probiotics into SIG\u2019s cartons.<\/p>\n

MilkyMist\u2019s beverage innovation is being delivered in SIG XSlimBloc 200ml packs.<\/p>\n

SIG offers a wide range of different packaging formats and volumes.<\/p>\n

Last month, SIG appointed Fabio Grazioli as chief supply chain officer<\/a> to its executive board.<\/p>\n
