What Is Skimmed Milk Protein?
Skimmed Milk Protein is produced from skim milk (milk with the fat content reduced to ≤0.5%) by spray-drying. It is distinct from Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) in that it undergoes less concentration — it retains more lactose and minerals relative to protein than MPC, making it nutritionally more similar to dried skim milk while still providing a complete dairy protein profile (both casein and whey fractions in native proportions).
Protein content is lower than MPC or WPC — typically 30–35% depending on the lactose content — making it more relevant as a dairy ingredient for texture, flavour, and nutritional contribution in food manufacturing than as a standalone protein supplement ingredient.
