What is WPC? Whey Protein Concentrates (WPCs) are highly functional and nutritional ingredients, manufactured from cheese and casein whey by membrane filtration processes.They are suitable for use in a variety of applications such as yoghurt, beverages and dairy desserts. They also provide a premium source of protein fortification for nutritional products and infant food. WPCs provide a gelling property when dissolved in water and heated. This property is beneficial for some dairy foods and meat industry applications.

PURE Whey protein is one of the most concentrated forms of protein due to its high whey protein composition (>80% whey). It is rapidly digested by the body allowing fast absorption of its nutritional benefits into the bloodstream and muscles. It is naturally high in the three essential amino acids (leucine, iso-leucine and valine) compared to other protein sources, with leucine being recognised as the trigger for muscle protein synthesis.

Highly Functional Whey proteins are highly soluble and provide excellent emulsifying, foaming and water binding functional benefits in various food applications. It is available in different protein, fat and mineral compositions.

Versatile WPC improves the texture and reduces syneresis of yoghurt products (including high protein yoghurt) without compromising on taste. Its excellent gelling properties make it an ideal gelling agent for meat products. The foaming and whipping properties of WPC allow manufacturers to use it as an egg replacement in bakery products.Together with its high quality protein profile, WPCs are ideal ingredients for sports nutrition applications, e.g. protein bars, gels and sports beverages.

Manufacturing Process Low temperature processing ensures retention of nutritional and functional properties.

Milk Protein Concentrates

11

What is MPC? Milk Protein Concentrates (MPCs) are milk proteins which are isolated from fresh skim milk by a process of membrane filtration.

MPC is generally manufactured using low temperature ultrafiltration and advanced spray-drying technology to maintain a high nutritional value while providing a clean flavour profile.

Affordable Nutrition MPC is a concentrated source of milk proteins, providing affordable dairy protein nutrition. Our MPC provides the complete milk protein profile, and contains both casein and whey proteins in the same ratio (80:20) as found in fresh milk. This is achieved by isolating the milk proteins from skim milk using a gentle ultrafiltration process. MPCs also deliver soluble calcium at enriched levels compared to other milk powders, providing additional nutritional benefits.

Versatile MPC is a versatile milk protein ingredient for consistently supplementing local fresh milk to achieve a desirable protein content, minimising the impact of milk compositional variation due to seasonality factors. MPCs can also be used to replace skim milk powder or whole milk powder (on a protein equivalent basis) to achieve formulation flexibility.

Superior Flavour MPC provides the cleanest milky flavour making it easy for customers to work with while providing flexibility in formulation.

Casein and Caseinate

15

What is Casein and Caseinate?

Casein is the predominant protein found in cow’s milk and comprises about 80% of the total protein content.

By CODEX* standard this is defined as: • Edible acid casein is the milk product obtained by separating, washing and drying the acid-precipitated coagulum of skimmed milk and/or of other products obtained from milk.

• Edible caseinate is the milk product obtained by action of edible casein or edible casein curd coagulum with neutralising agents followed by drying • Caseinate is the functional, water soluble form of acid casein and lactic. NZMP caseinates are spray dried milk protein (soluble casein) powders containing typically >94% protein in dry matter * CODEX standard for Edible Casein Products 290 – 1995. The standard is designed to protect the health of consumers and promote fair practices in food trade.

Types of Casein Mineral Acid Casein

Mineral Acid Casein is produced from pasteurised skim milk by controlled acidification with sulphuric acid.

Lactic Acid Casein

Lactic Acid Casein is produced from pasteurised skim milk by controlled acidification with lactic acid producing bacteria.

Rennet Casein

Rennet Casein is produced from pasteurised skim milk by controlled coagulation with microbial rennet enzymes.

Sodium Caseinate

Sodium Caseinate is formed from the reaction of acid casein with sodium hydroxide or other alkaline sodium salts.

Calcium Caseinate

Calcium Caseinate is formed from the reaction of acid casein with calcium hydroxide.

BENEFITS More Protein Casein and caseinate offer the most concentrated source of soluble casein protein available.

When the casein is precipitated from milk it is extensively washed to remove lactose and minerals resulting in a protein content in dry matter of >95%.

16

Emulsification Sodium caseinate is an excellent emulsifier providing superior emulsion stability and heat stability over other proteins.

Viscosity In formulating to reach a protein content target for nutrition it is possible to achieve a range of final product viscosities by varying the proportions of calcium and sodium caseinate. More sodium caseinate will increase viscosity while more calcium caseinate will decrease viscosity. Our calcium caseinate will provide protein shakes with a thick mouthfeel and appearance due to a characteristically high viscosity during hydration at high concentrations.

Rate Of Digestion • Calcium caseinate in solution has a micellar structure similar to the natural structure of casein in milk and digests slowly* • This makes it ideal to provide sustained plasma amino acid levels and protection from whole body protein breakdown between meals* • Of all micellar structured casein product available, calcium caseinate has the highest protein level and purity* *FRDC Protein Benchmarking Study 2014.

Less ingredients, cleaner label Due to the natural emulsification properties of casein(ate) there may not be a need to include additional emulsifiers in formulations.

Manufacturing efficiencies Quicker processing is achieved through higher solubility of casein(ate) resulting in reduced manufacturing time and costs.

Proven results Versatile and low risk protein with a long history of consistently performing across a range of product applications providing certainty.

Processing conditions Casein(ate) is a robust ingredient that can handle extreme processing conditions and high heat treatment delivering consistent final products.

pH stability Casein proteins will precipitate in acid conditions and as such will give optimum performance at, or close to, neutral pH (6.5-7.5). They may only be made stable in acid beverages with the use of stabilisers such as high methoxy pectins.
