Dairy Dialog podcast 117: Quantec, Kerry, Chobani This week, we have conversations with Quantec founder Dr Rod Claycomb and CEO Raewyn McPhillips; Christina Matrozou, marketing manager for taste in Europe and Russia at Kerry, and Chobani chief corporate affairs officer, Cristina Alesci. We also see the return of our weekly look at the global dairy markets with Liam Fenton at StoneX. Study finds milk-derived ingredient effective against influenza virus Research commissioned by New Zealand company Quantec, and completed by an independent US laboratory, has found its patented milk-derived ingredient IDP (Immune Defense Proteins) is effective against influenza virus species. At a time when there is an intense global focus on viruses, Quantec commissioned the independent in vitro study to see if IDP had antiviral activity, and if so whether its formulation, which contains over 50 bioactive proteins, provides greater antiviral activity than a singular protein.
