Researchers have found fast - digesting milk protein concentrate ( MPC ) has taste and formulation advantages over whey and is comparable to it in terms of amino acid release into the blood . The development of a fast - digesting concentrate similar to whey concentrate potentially opens the protein category to a broader audience , as the concentrate has taste and texture that are " more aligned with mainstream preferences " , according to Arron brown of the Zealand dairy outfit Fonterra . And because fast - digesting MPC is more heat stable than whey , it also has formulating advantages and can be used at higher concentrations .

The development of a fast-digesting MPC similar to whey protein potentially opens the protein category to a broader audience, as the MPC offers taste and texture that are "more aligned with mainstream preferences", according to Arron Harford of New Zealand dairy outfit Fonterra. And because fast-digesting MPC is more heat stable than whey, it also has formulating advantages and can be used at higher concentrations.
