High-protein/low-lactose products: The demand for high-protein and low-lactose beverages and foods has been increasing rapidly in recent years. MPCs with higher protein content can be used to enhance the protein content of foods and beverages by imparting a clean dairy flavor without adding significant levels of lactose and allowing food and beverage formulators to develop lactose-free products, avoid product defects, such as browning due to Maillard reaction and sandiness due to lactose crystallization. Therefore, high-protein MPCs are finding application in low-lactose, high-protein products, such as Greek style yogurts, process cheese, meal replacement beverages, and nutritional bars. MPC can also be used to increase the protein content of ice cream without increasing its lactose content (Patel and others 2006).
