What it is
Dairy protein base is a concentrated source of proteins derived from milk. It is typically made by separating milk proteins, such as whey and casein, from the liquid components through processes like filtration or centrifugation. The resulting product is a powder or paste rich in protein.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dairy protein base to increase the protein content of foods. It can also contribute to texture and emulsification. It is often found in processed meats, frozen appetizers, and egg-based products.
Health notes
Dairy protein base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of essential amino acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dairy proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of dairy protein bases.
Allergen info
Dairy protein base is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
