What makes goat MPCs superior to conventional MPCs?
Goat MPCs offer numerous benefits for infant formulas and food applications, making them a popular choice among manufacturers and consumers alike. From differentiating factors to nutritional advantages, here are some properties that make it a superior source of protein in various applications:

• Superior nutritional profile: Goat milk protein is a good source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)^1,2 that play important roles in muscle metabolism and protein synthesis. Goat milk protein is also highly digestible², which means the body can efficiently absorb and utilise the protein it contains. Additionally, goat milk is known to naturally contain a higher proportion of A2 beta-casein.³ This makes it an attractive option for individuals who may experience discomfort or digestive issues when consuming A1 beta-casein dominant milk.
• Versatility and product innovation: Goat MPCs can be incorporated into a wide range of applications including nutritional powders, dietary beverages, protein shakes and bars, drinking and spoonable yoghurts, dairy snacks and confectionery, and even infant formulas. This easy-to-use versatile ingredient opens up avenues for product innovation, allowing manufacturers to create unique and appealing offerings to cater to various consumer preferences and dietary needs.
• Superior taste profile: A “goaty” flavour product is not desirable, and having such notes is worrisome for manufacturers. Prolactal’s goat MPCs have a very neutral and pleasant taste, free from notes typically referred to as “goaty”. Compared to industry benchmark products, Prolactal’s products have a low mineral content, further contributing to being the best tasting goat protein ingredients available on the market. This is particularly advantageous in dairy-based products where a desirable experience is crucial for consumer acceptance.
• Low fat and protein-dense ingredient: Prolactal’s goat MPCs has a lower fat content compared to whole goat milk. As a result, it can provide a concentrated source of protein while reducing the intake of fat. This can be beneficial for individuals who are looking to increase their protein intake without significantly increasing their fat consumption.

The use of goat milk protein concentrates in food applications brings numerous advantages, from nutritional benefits to an enhanced taste profile. It’s a valuable ingredient for formulators aiming to create high-quality, nutritious, and marketable food products.
