What it is

Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is a dairy ingredient made from skimmed milk. It is produced by removing lactose, minerals, and water from skimmed milk, leaving a concentrated source of milk proteins, primarily casein and whey. It is often spray-dried to create a powder.

Why it's used

MPC is used to boost protein content and improve texture in foods. It can act as a binder, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It is commonly found in protein bars, nutritional shakes, yogurt, and cheese products.

Health notes

In the U.S., milk protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk protein and its constituents. There are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption at typical levels.

Allergen info

Milk Protein Concentrate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
