Say 'cheese' to smarter formulation with Prolactal’s PROcase Isolate MP 100

Redefining meltability, texture, and shelf stability in processed cheese – Prolactal’s powerful PROcase Isolate delivers precision, simplicity, and reliability.

Prolactal, a global specialist in premium dairy ingredients based in Austria, brings deep formulation expertise to the forefront with PROcase Isolate MP 100 – a high-purity milk protein derived from premium skimmed milk.

Unlike by-product proteins, this isolate is produced independently, ensuring a stable, year-round supply – an essential advantage for manufacturers seeking consistency in sourcing and recipe standardisation. Its powder form allows for easy handling and dosing, while its low-calcium composition enhances emulsification, making it an ideal choice for processed cheese applications.

At Fi Europe (2-4 December, Paris), Prolactal will showcase how this single, powerful ingredient PROcase Isolate MP 100 can transform formulation performance and unlock new possibilities for manufacturers – delivering precision, simplicity, and reliability.

Functional advantages in processed cheese

The unique properties of PROcase Isolate MP 100 make it a standout ingredient in processed cheese:

• Superior emulsification: Its low-calcium nature allows for easier emulsification compared to alternatives like MPC (milk protein concentrate) or rennet casein.
• Improved stretch and melt: PROcase Isolate MP 100 supports better stretching behaviour, crucial for applications like pizza cheese or meltable slices.
• Enhanced texture and sliceability: With ~95% protein in dry matter, it contributes to firmness and moisture retention.
• Recipe standardisation: Its consistent composition helps manufacturers avoid variability and reduce the need for freezing or complex adjustments.
• Heat stability: Maintains functionality during thermal processing, ideal for baked or cooked cheese formats.

In addition to its functional benefits, PROcase Isolate MP 100 offers practical advantages that streamline operations. Unlike mozzarella, it comes in powder form – making it easy to dose, store, and transport. It requires no refrigeration or special storage, making it an efficient and convenient choice for industrial applications.

These benefits translate into cost-efficiency, processing simplicity, and high-performance outcomes – making PROcase Isolate MP 100 a strategic choice for modern processed cheese production.

Cost and process benefits: A strategic ingredient choice

PROcase Isolate MP 100 offers significant cost advantages for cheese manufacturers. Its ability to reduce the need for additional E number ingredients – such as starches or emulsifiers – can lower overall raw material costs. This makes it a cost-efficient solution for producers aiming to maintain margins without compromising quality.

In cheese production, PROcase Isolate MP 100 works in tandem with emulsifying salts, which help solubilise the protein and form a smooth, heat-stable gel. This enables manufacturers to achieve consistent melt, stretch, and texture – especially important for products like pizza cheese, slices, and spreads.

Manufacturer advantages: Efficiency meets market appeal

Using PROcase Isolate MP 100 gives manufacturers a competitive edge:

• Improved profit margins: Lower ingredient costs translate directly into better margins.
• Enhanced product quality: Functional benefits lead to superior texture, meltability, and stability.
• E number-free appeal: PROcase Isolate MP 100 is a natural ingredient without an E number. Its functionality can reduce reliance on additives such as:
• Thickeners and stabilisers (E400–E499): PROcase Isolate MP 100’s water-binding and structuring capabilities reduce the need for gums or starches.
• Emulsifiers (E400–E499): While emulsifying salts are still used, PROcase Isolate MP 100’s natural emulsifying ability allows for lower concentrations.
• A shorter ingredient list with fewer E numbers appeals to health-conscious consumers and supports brand trust.
• Production efficiency: Simplified processing and reduced energy consumption contribute to operational savings.
