Register Now Button to ClickMarella and Clark will provide advice how to address common challenges when formulating protein ready-to-drink beverages for healthcare and mainstream nutrition. Information will include benefits when milk protein concentrates and isolates (MPCs and MPIs) are used in these reading to drink beverages.

These functional MPC and MPI milk proteins address storage stability issues and eliminate the need for sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP). Idaho Milk Products notes its IdaPro and IdaPlus milk proteins have a blander flavor profile, higher solubility, and faster hydration and dispersion rates than other MPCs and MPIs. As a result, fewer stabilizers and flavor masking agents are required. Drinks with a longer shelf-life and less grittiness and sedimentation result.
