Isolado de caseína micelar

Micellar Casein Isolate (MCI) is a pure dairy protein filtered directly from fresh Grade A milk with minimal processing. It offers a clean flavor profile and exceptional functional properties due to its optimized casein to native whey protein ratio (95:5). MCI provides superior emulsification, high water binding capacity, and excellent heat stability.. As a slow-digesting protein, MCI offers an extended release of amino acids and provides satiety, making it perfect for sports and adult nutrition products.

Specialty Protein Solutions for High-Protein Product Development


Taste, Texture, and Mouthfeel

Increasing protein levels in many applications can introduce challenges like chalkiness, grittiness, off‑notes, or unwanted viscosity. Leprino Nutrition provides expertise and ingredient solutions designed to help address these formulation issues. For example, proteins in our portfolio—such as micellar casein isolates for cleaner flavor, MP PRO C80™ for enhanced creaminess and improved mouthfeel, and CLEAR PRO 90™ for a clean, non‑dairy taste in low‑pH systems—can help support improved sensory and functional performance.

Learn how Leprino is redefining performance protein.

Clean-Label and Minimally Processed Options

Brands aiming for simpler, more recognizable labels can leverage Leprino Nutrition’s specialty proteins, which appear on ingredient statements as the familiar dairy proteins—whey and casein—widely understood by consumers in high‑protein products. Our specialty proteins also offer versatile and superior functionality that can often reduce or replace the need for additional components like flavor maskers, gums, hydrocolloids, or other stabilizing systems.

Explore protein solutions for snack innovation.

Process Tolerance Advantages

Many applications require proteins that can tolerate demanding processing conditions without compromising manufacturing efficiency or the final product’s texture, stability, or appearance. Leprino Nutrition’s specialty proteins each offer a distinct tolerance advantage that supports reliable performance across a range of manufacturing environments.

Micellar Casein Isolate provides strong stability during high‑heat processing at neutral pH, making it well‑suited for applications that undergo intensive thermal treatment. MP PRO C80™ shows reduced aggregation and gelling under heat, enabling higher protein inclusion in high‑moisture systems while maintaining desirable texture and viscosity. CLEAR PRO 90™ maintains stability under heat and acid conditions in low‑pH applications, offering a clean flavor profile and low turbidity to support products where clarity and sensory quality matter most.

Explore Leprino’s application portfolio.

Adult Nutrition and Healthy Aging

Formulating for adult nutrition and healthy aging requires ingredients that deliver meaningful functional benefits—supporting cognition, mobility, immunity, and overall wellness—while also performing reliably across diverse food and beverage formats. Leprino Nutrition’s specialty proteins offer a range of tools that help developers meet these needs through targeted bioactivity, strong process tolerance, and clean sensory performance.

L‑PRO™ MFGM 70 – Adult delivers phospholipids and bioactive components that support cognition, immunity, and muscle health in aging adults, and its unique composition and flexible functionality make it suitable for a broad range of applications designed for aging populations.

Beyond MFGM, Micellar Casein Isolate, Native Whey Protein Isolate, MP PRO C80™, and CLEAR PRO 90™ each offer complementary advantages—such as sustained amino acid release, rapid digestion, creamy texture enhancement, heat and acid stability, and clean flavor profiles—that can help developers build adult‑nutrition products with the right balance of performance, sensory quality, and processing reliability.

Explore our Adult Nutrition solutions.

Protein Fortification Across Snack and Dessert Applications

Protein fortification is no longer limited to the categories consumers traditionally associate with high‑protein products. Today’s developers are incorporating meaningful protein levels into a wide range of snacks, desserts, baked goods, high-fat formats, and low‑moisture food systems—each requiring ingredients that deliver both nutritional value and dependable functionality.

Micellar Casein Isolate provides robust heat stability for baked, puffed, extruded, or ready‑to‑eat snacks that undergo thermal processing or more extreme conditions such as retort. Its performance enables protein fortification without compromising structure or texture and offers formulation options where other proteins may fall short. MCI is also an effective water binder which can also help manage moisture in ambient products when tighter control is needed and water activity is critical. 

MP PRO C80™ serves as an excellent fat mimicker, contributing creamy texture and smooth mouthfeel that allow developers to reduce fat in high‑fat products or pursue fat and sugar reduction without sacrificing sensory quality. Its strong texturizing properties make it well‑suited for protein‑enhanced snacks, baked goods, desserts, and other applications where richness and sensory quality are essential.

BarLife™ technology supports the development of high‑protein bars, snacks, and baked goods by helping maintain softness and desirable sensorial properties throughout shelf life

Sports Nutrition and Protein RTD Beverages & RTM Foods

Protein fortification in modern sports nutrition goes far beyond shakes and powders—developers now need ingredients that deliver reliable processing performance, clean flavor, and the right digestion profile across ready‑to‑mix, ready‑to‑drink, carbonated, and low‑pH formats. Leprino Nutrition’s specialty proteins each offer a distinct combination of process tolerance, sensory benefits, and functional performance tailored to these evolving applications.

Micellar Casein Isolate delivers a naturally slow‑digesting protein profile with high levels of calcium and an extended amino acid release, supporting functional‑nutrition product development in RTD shakes, recovery beverages, and hybrid snack‑drink formats. Its exceptional heat stability, clean flavor, and inherent emulsification behavior help maintain consistent texture and reliable performance through demanding thermal processing—making it one of the few proteins capable of delivering both process tolerance and strong sensory quality in these applications.

CLEAR PRO 90™ Engineered for low‑pH systems, CLEAR PRO 90™ delivers exceptional heat and acid stability with low turbidity—supporting clear protein waters, carbonated beverages, and ready‑to‑mix powders that desire brightness, clarity, and a clean, non‑dairy taste. Its high-heat process tolerance enables protein fortification in beverage formats where traditional proteins would precipitate or become cloudy. 

Native Whey Protein Isolate is a minimally processed, rapidly digesting protein with naturally higher leucine levels than traditional cheese whey. With its inherently low sugar and fat content, clean flavor, fast solubility, and light mouthfeel, it excels in low‑calorie ready‑to‑mix powders, nutrition bars, and applications where quick absorption and a clean sensory profile are essential.
