Natural ingredients are essential in dairy, helping to deliver great flavour, colour, and consistency across a variety of products. Natural flavours enhance the richness of dairy, either by adding sweetness, savoury flavours, or notes like vanilla or caramel. They’re designed to hold up through pasteurisation, fermentation, and chilled storage. Fruit powders and similar ingredients can add a touch of acidity or complexity without changing texture or stability.
Ingredients for Dairy Applications
Colour is used in dairy to match flavours and ensure visual consistency. Plant-based colourings perform well in low-pH and chilled conditions, making them ideal for products like yoghurts, desserts and flavoured cheeses. In a category where freshness and uniformity matter most, natural ingredients help meet both sensory expectations and production needs.

Flavours
The milk or cream is then adapted into the food products we know and love which we enjoy from childhood right the way through our lives. Key to this are flavours, which are an integral part of dairy products, taking the creamy base of the dairy raw materials, and giving them a unique profile.
Kanegrade offers flavours for dairy applications, right through from traditional vanilla, chocolate, banana and strawberry, to many more ‘out-there’ profiles such as mango, lavender, whisky, peanut butter or rhubarb. Ice-cream parlours and dessert shops are popping up around the world giving people more options to experiment with their choices.
Colour
The colour of a dairy product is also crucial, not just to give appeal before a buying decision but also since studies have concluded that the appearance of food enhances its taste and this is significant in ice cream. Kanegrade offers a full range of dairy-stable natural colours so you can achieve the shade you need.
Kanegrade’s fruit powders have also been used successfully in dairy manufacturing., used to impart a subtle, natural fruit flavour to dairy products, or as a sprinkling or topping on desserts.
