Solae, a leader in healthy ingredients for great-tasting nutritious products, continues to provide innovation for the food industry with today's announcement of the ALPHA® 5800 product line, available now for widespread use in foods and beverages globally. Solae™ ALPHA® 5800 and ALPHA® 5812 are soy protein concentrates made with patented membrane technology, delivering a superior taste and smooth texture.

"The ALPHA® 5800 product line is a great solution for alternatives or complements to dairy proteins," said Michele Fite, vice president of global marketing and strategy and specialty business -- Solae. "These products help food manufacturers achieve ingredient cost savings and margin improvement while providing high-quality ingredients, great taste and nutritional benefits for the end consumer."

This line of soy protein concentrates can be used for a variety of food and beverage products, including: ready-to-drink and dry blended beverages, frozen desserts, puddings, cream fillings, cheeses, yogurts and more. Additionally, the ALPHA® 5800 product line could be used for products with low to medium protein inclusion levels as the protein content of these ingredients is 78 percent on a dry weight basis.

The ALPHA® 5800 product line uses proprietary membrane technology processing with water extraction, and it has the following unique attributes that differentiate it from whole bean extract:

• Naturally lower in sodium
• Naturally lower in fat
• Naturally lower in carbohydrates
• Higher in protein
• Maintains finished product consistency
• Produces formulation flexibility

In fact, in Solae's consumer sensory testing, when ALPHA® 5800 and ALPHA® 5812 were used in a soymilk product concept, they were rated significantly higher in flavor liking, mouthfeel liking and aftertaste liking versus a soymilk concept using whole bean extract.
