Milk Protein Concentrate is a complete dairy protein that is available in several concentrations, such as 56%, 70%, 80%, and 85%. It can be produced by ultrafiltration or by blending different dairy ingredients. The protein and lactose levels are related to each other, as the protein content increases, the lactose content decreases.
Typical Applications

Typically, lower-protein MPC’s are used as ingredients in cheese applications, while higher-protein MPC’s are used in beverage applications.
