Whey Protein Concentrate
Milk Protein Concentrate
Hiroland Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is a dairy-derived product that is produced by removing a significant portion of the liquid (water) from milk while retaining its protein content. Milk protein concentrates (MPC), essentially derived from high-quality raw milk with low total spore counts, have been produced over the past two decades using UF diafiltration technology or the spray drying method to obtain the final product in dry form. Fresh skimmed milk undergoes ultrafiltration and diafiltration to achieve approximately 21% total protein, while reducing its lactose content to 0.5%. This diafiltered product is then spray dried to achieve less than 5% moisture, resulting in a dried product that becomes an important ingredient, especially in the cheesemaking process.
