Milk Protein Concentrate

Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is made by removing the fat from fresh Grade A milk through separation, then removing a portion of the lactose and milk minerals using ultra-filtration. The resulting product is then pasteurized and spray dried to a moisture content of 4% maximum. Milk protein concentrate powder is made from fresh, sweet milk to which no preservative, alkali, neutralizing agent or other chemical has been added and which has been pasteurized.
