Milk Proteins
Global demand for milk proteins is growing primarily due to the need for ingredients with higher protein concentrations. The applications of milk proteins vary depending on the protein content. In general, concentrated milk proteins can be used in a variety of food categories from soups and sauces, meat products, bakery products, confectionery and chocolate to the manufacturing of dairy products like yogurt and cheese. Depending on the category and concentrated milk protein ingredients used, they can serve as: emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, flavoring agents, formulation aids, humectants, stabilizers and thickeners, texturizers and sources of high-quality protein.
Why U.S. Milk Proteins
U.S. ingredient processors have become increasingly specialized in the production of milk proteins. U.S. milk protein concentrate (MPC) production has more than doubled over the past eight years and micellar casein concentrate (MCC) ingredients are now available commercially as a relatively new ingredient.
