From Instability to Control: Mastering Dairy and Alt-Dairy Systems

Stability is both a major challenge in dairy and plant-based formulations and a critical factor for product quality, shelf life, and consumer acceptance.

From phase separation to sedimentation and texture loss, even small changes in structure can lead to major product failures.

In this webinar, we explore how advanced analytical techniques can assist in understanding, measuring, and controlling stability in both dairy and alternative dairy systems.

Discover how formulation, processing, and microstructure interact, and how data-driven insights can lead to more stable and consistent products.

Key topics:

  • Understanding instability mechanisms: Phase separation, sedimentation, and structural breakdown in complex food systems
  • Measuring and predicting stability: How particle size analysis and rheology help quantify dispersion quality and system behavior
  • Controlling interactions at the micro level: The role of particle interactions and formulation design
  • From structure to sensory perception: Linking rheology and tribology to texture, mouthfeel, and product experience
  • Optimizing formulation and processing: Improving homogenization, stability, and shelf-life performance

Join us to discover how to prevent stability issues before they occur and ensure consistent product performance.
