From discovery to commercialisation
We’re ambitious about milk-derived ingredients that promote nutrition.
Fortunately, such raw materials are naturally rich in proteins, lipids, oligosaccharides, minerals and vitamins – holding huge potential for being applied in a wide range of food categories.
Arla Foods Ingredients’ nutrition science capabilities and directions are guided by a long-term research and development strategy, based on the potential of our raw materials, global nutrition trends and health challenges.
Our current strategy broadly focuses on:
- Allergy management and prevention
- Cognitive development and performance
- Gastrointestinal health
- Healthy growth and programming
- Immunity
- Inborn errors of metabolism
- Bone health
- Metabolic health and diabetes
- Sports performance and exercise
Our nutrition science activities cover every stage in our value chain from discovery to development and commercialisation.
