Milk Protein Freshens Breath in China
The milk protein, called IDP, is supposed to help maintain oral hygiene. Products using the ingredient are being developed in New Zealand.
Hamilton biotechnology company Quantec has signed a deal that could open up a $2 million-a-year oral and throat-care market in China for its patented milk protein ingredient.
Quantec managing director Rod Claycomb said Auckland-based NZ New Paradise had bought exclusive rights to the milk protein ingredient, patented as IDP, for use in oral-care and throat-care confectionery products made in New Zealand and exported to China.
