CHILLED BEVERAGES
Probi's probiotic strains can be found in spontaneous fermentation in nature. They are also able to withstand harsh conditions such as low pH. This makes them a perfect match for a fruit juice or fruit drink brand that wants to offer its consumers specific probiotic health benefits.
- Fruit Drinks
Our highly successful probiotic fruit drink concept has been on the market in Scandinavia and USA since 1994 and includes a wide variety of flavours. Our experts are there to help you develop a probiotic drink or shot with guaranteed CFU values at end of shelf life.
- Juice
In 2009 Probi developed the world’s first probiotic fruit juice that combined 100% juice with probiotics without compromising taste or shelf life.
- Shots
A fruit or plant-based drink with a higher concentration of bacteria than your fruit juices or fruit drinks. This delivers that extra boost.
- Carbonated beverages
In a market where the low-calorie and sparkling functional drink segment is growing, Probi is your partner.
- Recovery Drinks
A drink with Probi’s probiotic strains and carefully selected vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates will support a consumer with an active lifestyle. It will also suit the athletes or people who expose their body to physical exercise and stress.
CHILLED DAIRY PRODUCTS
- Milk
In Probi’s probiotic portfolio there are a range of probiotic strains able to thrive in fresh milk without causing acidification.
- Yoghurt
Probi's probiotic strains are stable in various yoghurt-based products. From our range you can choose a probiotics strain that gives you the probiotic benefit without the impact on sensory. You can also choose a strain that when present during fermentation gives you a uniquely flavoured final product.
- Cheese
Probi's probiotic strains show good stability in cheese. They not only survive during ripening but can also enhance flavour.
PLANT-BASED PRODUCTS
- Plant-based Milk
Probi can guide you in the development of a probiotic plant-based product with all the benefits. Be it oat, soy or almond.
- Plant-based yoghurt
Probi’s probiotic strains are stable in various yoghurt products. Depending on where in your production process the probiotics are added, you can affect sensory or just use the probiotics for the effect.
FROZEN DESSERTS AND ICE CREAM
- The robustness of Probi's probiotics makes sorbets, popsicles and ice creams suitable applications. Be it plant-based or dairy based, Probi will be able to help. Probi even launched the world’s first probiotic ice cream already 1999.
POWDER FORMULAS
The ability to deliver probiotics in products that have a long shelf life in ambient temperatures requires special technology. We offer different solutions for dealing with segment specific challenges.
- Infant and follow on formula for toddlers
Products with medium to long shelf life in ambient temperatures. Probi's robust probiotic strains can be blended into products such as infant formula, follow on formula, gruel and porridge. Probi's experts will guide you in your choice of product formulation and suitable packaging materials.
- Protein Powder
As for the baby and toddler category, Probi's probiotic strains can be blended into protein powders. Again, our experts will guide you in your choice of product formulation and suitable packaging materials.
- Probiotic single portion powder
Probiotics can be combined with nutrients and flavouring in stick packs or sachets ready to be poured into a smoothie or any cold beverage of choice – a practical on-the-go solution.
CONFECTIONARY
- Chocolate may not be the first thing one thinks of when it comes to probiotics, but Probi's robust probiotic strains can be blended into chocolate to make bars or bites.
