Joe Scimeca, Ph.D., senior vice president of regulatory and scientific affairs for the Washington, D.C.-based International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), issued the following statement on FDA’s decision to permit the use of milk protein concentrate (MPC), milk protein isolate (MPI) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) in products labeled “high protein milk”:
Nonfat dry milk, whey protein concentrate and dairy ingredients are multifunctional. They can contribute to a cleaner label by replacing emulsifiers, whiteners and even preservatives.
In early March, the state of West Virginia passed a new law making it easier for its citizens to purchase raw milk. To celebrate the passage of the legislation, one lawmaker shared a toast of raw milk with his colleagues. It may have been just a coincidence, but many of the lawmakers ended up getting sick in the ensuing days.
The Massachusetts-based dairy cooperative sells 20% of its nonfat dry milk, 60% of its whey protein concentrate and 95% of its whey permeate to more than 30 countries.
We are a snacking nation. Almost 87% of U.S. consumers snack between meals. In 2009, domestic consumers spent more than $93 billion for foods eaten during a snack occasion. Given
Dairy processors, food scientists, brand marketers and regulators come to Chicago to share research and information about this important dairy ingredient.
There’s an old saying, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” Emerging research confirms that a hearty breakfast with ample protein may indeed be the most important meal of the day, but many Americans either skip breakfast or eat a hasty breakfast that’s low in protein. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that Americans typically consume 15% of their daily protein at breakfast.
On Demand Production of Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) have always been hampered by the creation of pro-cream. This occurs as a byproduct during the microfiltration step to remove the remaining cream in Whey Protein Concentrate to achieve 90% WPI. However, new advancements in WPI processing equipment alongside research conducted at the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, has helped increase value, awareness and applications for the use of Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate (WPPC).
