Unlock high protein content without compromising on taste or texture

NZMP WPC 550 is a superior whey protein designed for high protein milks and UHT beverages with superior heat stability and viscosity control. 
 

  • Excellent UHT heat stability. 

  • Easily recombined at 50 to 60°C.

  • Supports shelf-stable high protein beverages.

  • Low viscosity for improved mouth feel.  

Enriched milk beverages

NZMP WPC 550 can be combined with other ingredients to boost the whey protein content less than 10% total protein. Boosts essential and branched-chain  amino acids (BCAA), supporting muscle building, recovery and health. Our patented process allows for superior stability and viscosity in a RTD beverage.

 

High whey protein beverages

NZMP WPC 550 is a superior whey protein, unlike regular whey, this does not gel at high concentrations (<10%) and temperatures, setting the benchmark for whey texture and stability. It can also be formulated with other ingredients to achieve even higher protein levels, and it enables 100% whey RTD beverages.
