Los quesos de los Estados Unidos continúan creciendo en popularidad en México y actualmente están disponibles para los consumidores prácticamente en todas las cadenas de supermercados a nivel nacional, además de formar parte fundamental en una gran cantidad de menús en el sector de restaurantes en México. Hoy en día, el consumidor mexicano tiene a su alcance una extensa variedad de quesos pro- ducidos en Estados Unidos, los cuales se han ganado un espacio en los anaqueles mexicanos, debido a su gran calidad, aporte nutrimental y sabor, entre otros atribu- tos. Las principales variedades de quesos de Estados Unidos son cheddar, monterey jack, mozzarella, parmesano, suizo, provolone, ricotta, cottage, queso crema, mas- carpone, queso azul, muenster, brie y camembert entre otros. La proteína de suero de leche, la leche descremada en polvo y los quesos son una excelente fuente de proteína de alta calidad y existe una creciente evidencia de que los actuales requerimientos diarios de proteína deben ser incrementados. En la sec- ción sobre nutrición de este boletín, usted podrá leer acerca del importante papel que desempeñan las proteínas de los productos lácteos en la administración del peso, la diabetes, la salud cardiaca, el desarrollo muscular y la salud ósea. Finalmente, queremos comentar a usted que Dairy Management, Inc. (DMI) par- ticipó como expositor en la reciente Reunión Anual IFTA en Nueva Orleans, Louisiana. La edición de este boletín informativo analiza las nuevas aplicaciones en el sector de alimentos para los ingredientes lácteos exhibidos por DMl durante la IFT 2008, los cuales incluyen bebidas para la recuperación muscular y para la administración del peso, ambos elaborados a base de proteína concentrada de suero de leche.

The gains were driven by large increases in milk powder, cheese and butter exports. U.S. whey protein concentrate (WPC) exports remained solid with a 22% increase and more than half of the WPC shipments went to Mexico and China. Dairy exports from the U.S. to Mexico were up 19% compared to the same time peri- od in 2007. The largest gains were in butter, skimmed milk powder and lactose, with a growth of 170%, 109% and 41% respectively. Other products reporting strong growth were WPC 80 and WPI, both of which grew by 10%, largely due to their pop- ularity in the retail market. Exports of U.S. anhydrous milk fat and sweet buttermilk powder also showed strong growth and grew 170% and 48% respectively. Finally, the export levels of U.S. ice cream and condensed milk to the Mexican market grew 4% and 6% respectively. Imports of U.S. cheese to Mexico showed a slight decrease of 4% during the first half of 2008. In spite of this, the U.S. market share went from 47% to 58%, due to the fact that Mexican cheese imports worldwide were reduced by 23%. Mexico is a strong market for WPC and import levels are expected to remain steady during the rest of 2008. Whey proteins are high quality proteins and they compliment the ingredients currently used in Mexico in the production of high quality food prod- ucts. U.S.-made WPC 34 and skimmed milk powder are the most commonly used ingredients because of the many benefits they provide when added to foods. These include dairy, bakery and confectionery products (including sweet and salty cookies), snacks, soups, dressings and frozen desserts. U.S. cheeses remain popular throughout Mexico and more varieties than ever are now available to consumers in major retail stores and restaurants. Currently, there is a wide selection of U.S. cheeses in the market thanks to increased store shelf space, as Mexican retailers recognize their high quality, flavor and nutritional benefits. The main U.S. cheeses in the Mexican market are the following: cheddar, monterey jack, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss, provolone, ricotta, cottage, cream cheese, mascarpone, blue, muenster, brie and camembert. Whey protein, milk powder and cheese are excellent sources of high quality protein. There is growing evidence that the current daily protein requirements need to be increased for optimal health. In the nutrition section of this newsletter you will read about the important role of dairy proteins in weight management, diabetes manage- ment, heart health, muscle growth and bone health. Finally, we would like to mention that Dairy Management Inc. (DMI) participated as an exhibitor at the recent IFT Annual Meeting in New Orleans. This newsletter reviews the new food applications for dairy ingredients showcased by DMI at IFT 2008 which include beverages for muscle recovery and weight management.
