The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) sent an expert in the field of soy dairy analogues, to Nicaragua this month. José Demerutis provided technical assistance to Café Soluble, a company that produces a powdered soy milk product called Delisoya. The company is planning the launch of a new, ready to drink soy milk product in August. The first stage of the launch will include the production of two new products: one beverage will be 100 percent soy milk and the other will contain 20 percent cow’s milk. In subsequent stages of the launch, the portfolio of ready to drink beverages will be expanded to include flavored soy milk, an oat/soy beverage, horchata with soy and finally juices with soy. ASA/WISHH will continue to provide technical assistance to this company as they expand their soy product offerings.
