Application wise market trends in the global micellar casein market


  •   Use of micellar casein and whey protein blends, which are high in amino acids and provide functionality similar to natural milk, has been witnessing significant increase. Whey and casein are an ideal combination as they have a complementary effect on the body, wherein whey helps in the rapid increase of protein synthesis while casein prevents protein breakdown.
  • Quest Nutrition, a major manufacturer of nutritional bars and powders in the U.S., launched Quest Protein Powder in 2014, which is a blend of micellar casein, whey isolate and milk protein.
  • Cheese is a major application for micellar casein, but is prone to various regulations. These regulations are based on the fact that raw milk can be a potential carrier of pathogens. Fat content of cheese is regulated in some regions, and addition of micellar casein alters this fat content. As per FDA cheese standards, fat content in cheese should be between 23% and 44%.
  • Increasing consumer preference for natural or organic ingredients that are free from any additives is resulting in increasing demand for products such as micellar casein.
  • The high stability of micellar casein enables it to undergo ultra-high temperature treatment, thereby making it suitable for use in shelf-stable beverages.
  • Micellar casein is shelf-stable and soluble only at neutral pH. As most flavoured carbonated drinks are acidic in nature, they are not suitable for using micellar casein as an ingredient.
