Milk protein isolate · bulk

Milk protein isolate: MPI90 and MPI 84 lactose-free.

The most concentrated form of milk protein, casein and whey together. We supply two grades from EU dairies: MPI90 for high-protein ready-to-mix powders and ready-to-drink bases, and MPI 84 lactose-free for lactose-restricted formulations. From 300 kg; the full specification comes with your quotation.

In short

Milk protein isolate (MPI) is milk protein filtered further than milk protein concentrate, so that most of the lactose and minerals are removed while casein and whey stay in the ratio of milk. Nordic Life Systems supplies two grades from EU dairies: MPI90, a high-protein base for ready-to-mix powders and ready-to-drink shakes, and MPI 84 lactose-free, for high-protein products where lactose must be kept out. Both ship from 300 kg, with the specification and a Certificate of Analysis for every batch provided with your quotation.

Two grades

MPI90 or MPI 84 lactose-free: pick by product.

MPI90

High-protein ready-to-mix and RTD bases

The grade for protein shakes, meal replacements and ready-to-drink bases where protein per serving matters most. Casein gives body and a fuller mouthfeel than whey alone; blended with WPI90, it rounds out a lean shake.

MPI 84 lactose-free

Lactose-restricted formulations

Extended filtration removes the lactose without a separate lactase step in your process. For high-protein powders, drinks and dairy-style products positioned for consumers who avoid lactose. Halal and kosher certified. Labelling a finished product as lactose-free follows national rules.

Isolate or concentrate?

Milk protein isolate is filtered further than milk protein concentrate, with less lactose and minerals, so it suits products with the highest protein density or lactose restrictions. Concentrate grades cost less and work well in yogurts, desserts and bars.

Milk protein or whey?

Whey isolate (WPI90 Instant) is fast and thin. Milk protein isolate adds casein, which thickens and gives a creamier, more filling drink. Many ready-to-drink and meal-replacement recipes combine both.

FAQ

Milk protein isolate, answered.

What is milk protein isolate (MPI)?

Milk protein filtered further than a concentrate, so most lactose and minerals are removed while casein and whey stay in the ratio of milk. It is the most concentrated form of milk protein.

Which MPI grade should I choose?

MPI90 for high-protein ready-to-mix and ready-to-drink bases; MPI 84 lactose-free when the product must avoid lactose. Tell us your product, and we confirm the grade with its specification.

Where can I see the specification?

We send it on request, for the grade and batch you would buy. Use the form below; we reply within 24 hours and, after reviewing your project, send the specification with your quotation.

Can I call my product lactose-free with MPI 84 lactose-free?

The grade supports it, but the claim is made on the finished product, so all other ingredients count too, and national rules on lactose-free labelling apply. We review your label text before printing.

What is the difference between MPI and whey protein isolate?

Whey protein isolate contains only whey proteins. MPI contains casein as well, which gives more body and a slower protein release. Many recipes combine both.

What is the minimum order?

300 kg per grade, and MPI can ship on the same load as whey grades.
