Features

• Consistent and ideal particle size

Functional Benefits

• Uniform particle size provides a rich, creamy mouthfeel and texture, making microparticulated whey protein (MWP) a great fat replacement option for low-fat products such as yogurt, processed cheese, dressings, and sauces.
• Has superior emulsifying capacity by preventing the coalescence and flocculation of the fat droplets, which will enhance the storage stability of dressings and sauces.
• The heat stability of MWP at high protein concentrations allows for lower viscosity and reduced sulfur notes traditionally seen with whey RTD beverages, creating an improved overall drinking experience.
