Soluble milk protein is present in the aqueous supernatant part of the milk when Casein is precipitated with the help of acid treatment or centrifuged at high speed. Soluble milk proteins are a group of proteins called as whey proteins and consists of β- lactoglobulin, α- lactalbumin, serum albumin, immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, and other minor elements. Soluble milk proteins consist of enzymes, hormones, growth factor, nutrient transporter, disease resistance factors, and other key ingredients.
Milk and milk products have been included in human food consumption for several years, and at the time, more than six billion people consume milk and milk products. Supplementation of soluble milk protein immediately after physical activity has shown improved overall skeletal muscle function compared to casein. As of 2018, food and beverage manufacturers tend to adopt soluble milk protein as a major protein source in sports nutrition, supplements, and other functional health products.
Worldwide, protein consumption has increased with multiple reasons for that, increase in the middle-class income worldwide and making them able to afford these high-end protein-rich products is one of the reason. These middle-class as well as upper-class people from around the globe have become health conscious and prefer eating nutritional food with high quality and premium ingredients. Consumers tend to be aware of labels on food products, and have become conscious of their intake in terms of ingredients in the food products they consume. In order to meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutrients, they tend to carefully curate their diet incorporating functional ingredients such as soluble milk proteins. Soluble milk proteins isolated directly from milk are gaining attention due to their positive effect on health.
Bland flavors and aroma, excellent foaming capacity, high protein content, low turbidity and non-hygroscopic characteristic of powder are some of the points that make the soluble milk protein excellent choice for a protein source. Soluble milk protein produced directly from milk is more consistent because it doesn’t go through the cheese-making process, also it requires fewer steps of heat pasteurizing, which prevents protein denaturation and enhances product quality.
Among various producers of soluble milk proteins, major players include Lactalis Ingredients, Davisco Foods International, Arla Foods, Fonterra Co-operative Group, Glanbia PLC, Milk Specialty, Wheyco GmbH, and others. Key buyers of the soluble milk protein are Optimum Gold Standard 100%, Nutrova, BSN, Cytosport, Dymatize, Cellulor Cor Performance, Champion Nutrition, etc.
Innovation and research in the production and formulation of soluble milk protein, has led to the growth of the market and expected to be seen in the near future. Research provides the result that the soluble milk proteins isolated directly from milk possess distinct flavor properties from those of the proteins derived from cheese whey. Research in the filtration techniques to improve the process to isolate the soluble milk protein directly from milk is challenging. Microfiltration and ultrafiltration are being researched and developed to enhance the process of separating soluble milk proteins.
Global soluble milk protein market is likely to show tremendous growth due to the presence of several large producers, as well as small and medium-sized regional suppliers. Health and wellness conscious people around the globe has led to an increase in demand for healthy food and beverages. Eating protein rich food enhances health and wellbeing. Hence, the food and beverage industry are challenged to introduce soluble milk protein in high protein content products.
Soluble milk protein contains less than 1 % fat, even when concentrated to 80 % protein. Manufacturer companies are keen on developing more convenient solutions and a wider array of foods that fit the lifestyle and specific need of consumer; such as high-protein and low-fat content.
Soluble milk protein has foaming and whipping characteristic, which might make them an excellent choice to replace egg which is dominant in baked goods and whipping products.
Also, the increased population of the senior citizen is concerned with the healthcare problem and muscle loss due to aging. Supplementing this population with soluble milk protein containing products might help to overcome the muscle loss and improve overall functioning.
Also, increase in the usage of technology and educational platform in the underdeveloped countries likely to increase the demand for protein-rich products, hence provide a boost to the soluble milk protein market in these countries.
