Milk Protein Concentrates - MPC for High-Protein Formulations
Milk protein concentrates (MPC) are powdered dairy proteins, concentrated for protein while kept low in fat and lactose. Unlike whey-only proteins, they contain both casein and whey - the two proteins just as they occur in milk - which makes them a complete dairy protein. FDCM is a European milk protein concentrate supplier, working with food manufacturers in functional foods, sports nutrition and dairy.

Milk protein concentrates do two things well. Nutritionally, they raise a product’s protein content without adding much fat or lactose, which suits high-protein and lower-sugar recipes. Technically, they improve texture, firm up the body of a product, and help hold gels and emulsions together. That combination makes them a mainstay in protein shakes, bars and high-protein yogurts, and across dairy and confectionery, where nutrition and texture have to work together.Our milk protein concentrates
Milk Protein Concentrate 60 is 60% protein and little else - 0.7% fat and just 0.05% lactose, which makes it virtually lactose-free. A light, white-to-yellowish powder with a mild milky taste, it’s a natural fit for lactose-free and dietary recipes, as well as protein bars, supplements and yogurt. Milk Protein Concentrate 85 (MPC 85) takes the protein higher still - up to 86% in dry matter, with no more than 2.5% fat. It’s a fine powder with a neutral taste and dissolves well, so it blends cleanly into both dry and liquid recipes without affecting the flavour. It’s the grade for more demanding uses: infant formula, processed cheese and cheese analogues, high-protein cheeses, fermented dairy and sports nutrition.Specification, packaging and storage
Both grades come in 20–25 kg bags and Big Bags, made to consistent, declared specifications. MPC 85 is GMO-free, with the allergen declared as lactose of milk origin. Keep the powders somewhere cool and dry - MPC 85 stores best below 23°C and 65% relative humidity - in their original sealed packaging, away from light, heat and strong smells. You’ll find the full parameters on each product page.Why order from FDCM
We handle bulk milk protein concentrate orders, with the price shown on each product and volume thresholds that bring the cost per kilogram down as the order grows. Everything ships across the EU, and where a product is available to order, you can buy it online or ask for a quote on a larger or bespoke volume.Frequently asked questions
How is milk protein concentrate made, and why is it low in lactose?
MPC is made by filtering milk to concentrate the protein, then spray-drying what’s left into a powder. Filtering out most of the lactose along the way is what gives the higher grades their low-lactose profile - MPC 60, for one, is virtually lactose-free.How does milk protein concentrate differ from skimmed milk powder?
Milk protein concentrate is concentrated for protein, with most of the lactose taken out. Skimmed milk powder is a full milk powder with only the fat removed, so it keeps its lactose and has less protein. Choose MPC when protein content is what matters most.Part of our milk powders range
Milk protein concentrates are one part of our wider milk powders range, alongside full and skimmed milk powders and other dairy fractions.
