Micellar Casein
Our Micellar Casein Concentrate (MCC) is a clean, pure dairy protein filtered directly from Grade A milk, with minimal processing. As an intact casein, MCC has many benefits, both for our partners as well as their customers. Our native MCC supplies a clean flavor profile, exceptional functional properties due to its optimized casein to native whey protein ratio (95:5), and compelling functional benefits including superior emulsification compared to caseinates, exceptional heat stability, and low foam capability. In addition, our MCC has exceptional wetting properties and provides the needed structure to many dairy products such as natural cheese, processed cheese, and yogurt products. Also, MCC is considered a slow-digesting protein providing an extended release of amino acids and in conjunction with the high micellar calcium content makes MCC ideally suited for sports and adult nutrition products.
