Colloidal moisture retention for yogurt, cheese and fermented dairy.
Lacto Save® is an engineered citrus fiber designed to immobilize free water and reinforce the colloidal matrix of dairy systems. It prevents syneresis, stabilizes texture post-fermentation, and replaces synthetic stabilizers without compromising clean label positioning.
Lacto Save® is formulated in grades calibrated to the viscosity, protein content, and fermentation profile of each dairy matrix.

A commercial Brazilian dairy tested Lacto Save® at 1.0% in a standard set yogurt formulation (3.2% protein, 1.5% fat) against a phosphate-based control. Samples were stored at 4°C and measured at T0, T3, T7 days for syneresis (% of separated whey).
