CP Kelco has introduced GENU Drink texturizer type DP 500, a product designed for ready-to-drink juice-based or fruit-flavored beverages requiring a stable protein component.

GENU Drink texturizer type DP 500 -- a blend of Simplesse microparticulated whey protein concentrate and GENU pectin -- provides stability, good mouthfeel, and is compatible with a variety of fruit flavors, says the company.

The GENU Drink texturizer type DP 500 can be added directly to the juice or fruit drink. GENU Drink texturizer type DP 500 is also easy to disperse and hydrate, notes the company, meaning it can be used in most juice processing plants without having to add special mixing equipment.
