2024 December

As the year draws to a close, we highlight the ongoing innovation and charitable efforts of Chobani, our 2024 Processor of the Year. We look at the diversity within hybrid dairy products and ways dairy processors utilize blends to enhance mouthfeel and nutrition. As processors look to extend shelf life, the role of aseptic and extended shelf-life packaging is indispensable. Listen as a BENEO expert provides insights on ingredient reduction, while U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack headlines the Global Dairy Summit. In our Ingredient Showcase, we report on the latest prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, while our Equipment Showcase examines process control systems. There’s also coverage on Pack Expo2024 and our expert columnists discuss CIP optimization, how reducing methane affects milk nutrition, and nutrition found in fermented dairy products. We highlight the newest products, the outlook for butters and creamers, and much more!
