Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is a dairy product made by filtering milk to remove some of the water and lactose, concentrating the protein content. It typically contains both casein and whey proteins, which are the two main types of protein found in milk. MPC can vary in protein concentration, often ranging from 40% to 90% protein by weight. It's used in various food products and supplements to enhance protein content, improve texture, and add nutritional value. Common applications include in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, in baked goods, and in sports nutrition products.
