Normandy in the centre of the largest European dairy basin. The company, witch has
specialised in milk fractionation for more than 40 years, focuses on supporting the strategic
development of its clients in France and abroad, backed by its large distribution network.
Lactosalt® is a range of solutions to reduce the level of sodium and/or enhance the taste of
industrial food and health-food products.
Resulting from milk fractionation, the product acquires its natural saltiness by concentration
of the minerals in milk. It has clear advantages: five times less sodium than salt, a natural taste
without any bitter after-taste, multi-process compatibility, a salting power thanks to its ionic
strength is almost identical to salt and "clean label" ingredient labeling.
Lactosalt is now available in saltcellar! Find it now in Grocery stores.
Lactarmor® G is a range of milk replacers & food preparations powders.
These preparations are made to substitute totally or partially milk powders for industrial or
traditional uses: fresh dairy food, ice-cream, pastry & bakery, chocolate and confectionary…
Lactarmor® G milk replacers help to maintain the functional and organoleptic properties in
finished products while significantly reducing costs.
S like … Salt: what about solutions?
A basic and essential ingredient in the food industry, salt, through the sodium it contains
(almost 40%), is nowadays highly controversial due to its over consumption in western society.
In its findings from 8 June 2010, the Council of Europe reiterated the fact that excess
consumption of salt is one of the main factors contributing to raised blood pressure and therefore
cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are the cause of almost half of all deaths, that is
42% in the EU (or more than 2 million deaths) at a total cost of 192 billion euros.
Therefore, W.H.O, EFSA, AFSSA, Ministry of Health, consumer associations...the pressure
is increasing around sodium reduction. Will you wait until recommendations becomes
regulation? Do you even want to take the risk to bet on it?
Indeed, due to awareness campaigns all over the world, consumers are more and more
educated on the impact of sodium on their health and consequently pay more attention to the
quality of the components of the product. Nevertheless, consumers are definitely not ready to
accept any compromise on taste, consumer requirements are focused around 3 areas:
1. Health: Increasingly well-informed, they are conscious of the potential impact of sodium
on their health,
2. Nutrition: Responsible for both themselves and/or their household, they are therefore
paying greater attention to food ingredients and the daily nutritional balance,
3. Pleasure: Perhaps paradoxically, most consumers are unwilling to compromise on flavour.
The first step to be taken by producers is to reduce the sodium chloride used in their recipes full
stop. However, this measure quickly highlights taste and technological constraints.
Armor Protéines developed a range of solutions for the reduction of sodium levels in finished
goods in accordance with both regulation and consumer expectations on taste: Lactosalt®.
Lactosalt® range is a “milk minerals concentrate”
- Technical’s and organoleptic properties identical to salt: Aw, color, process, taste….
- Taste: its milk origin offers an exceptional advantage on taste compared to most
alternatives like potassium chlorides. With Lactosalt there is no after taste or bitterness
- “Clean Label” Product: declared in the ingredients list not as an additive.
- Granulated as salt: identical proportions and process compatibility.
- Same ionic strength as salt – different size grading will allow a large process compatibility
in the factory
- Five times less sodium than salt allows several levels of sodium reduction up to 80%. Its
enables the nutritional claim to be made.
This Lactosalt® range is devised for enabling you to achieve your objectives. Scientific studies
lead proved and measured the efficiency of Lactosalt® in different applications. Ask us!
