MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE
Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is produced from skim milk by a series of processes that includes ultrafiltration, concentration and drying. The level of protein, lactose and minerals present varies depending on the degree of protein concentration. Ultrafiltration determines the composition of the MPC while concentration and drying are used to remove only water. The product also is pasteurized to eliminate potential pathogens in raw milk.

Nutritional information
MPC is used for its nutritional and functional properties. It is high in protein content and contributes about 360 Kcal/100 g. Higher protein-containing MPC can be low in carbohydrate content, containing minimal amounts of lactose. This high-protein, low-lactose ratio makes MPC an excellent ingredient for protein-fortified beverages and foods and low-carbohydrate foods. MPC also retain a fair portion of calcium because it is bound to the casein.
