Technology, production and markets for Micellar Casein ingredients and Native Whey Proteins from milk microfiltration and milk protein fractionation. The report provides a thorough analysis of the technical and business factors currently determining international development of manufacturing operations and market demand for these innovative ingredients. Options for processing technology and their corresponding implications for investment cost, operating efficiency and product quality are examined. Current manufacturers and potential new suppliers are fully profiled with respect to competitive capabilities, estimates for output and future growth prospects. Strategies used for business entry and viable investment are also reviewed.
Specialty Nutritional Proteins
A review of development opportunities for specialty milk protein derivatives such as alpha lactalbumin, lactoferrin and more.

Global Whey Products Market
An evaluation of the market situation for major whey products covering protein and carbohydrate derivatives of whey. The report examined production trends from major supply sources in the European Union, North America and Oceania across a product set comprising whey powder, whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolate and lactose ingredients. Global markets are profiled on a regional and market segment basis. Market geographies covered include Europe, United States, Asia and the Middle East. Application segments in nutrition, food manufacturing and feed were reviewed identifying size of demand and underlying consumption drivers.
Dairy Industry Analysis
Effects of EU Quota Removal on Milk Powder Production
A forecast report that examined the outlook for milk powder and milk protein ingredient supply following the removal European Union restrictions on milk output. The study reviewed the production situation in the major EU producing countries in relation to several scenarios for changes in regional milk supplies. Projections for incremental growth in powder and protein production were determined taking account of allowances for additional milk utilization in cheese and other uses.
Regulatory
The dairy industry is regulated in numerous ways ranging from supervision of milk quality, equipment engineering standards, design of process operations, product standards and product safety. DABC has assisted clients with technical support to address the demands of regulatory requirements and to facilitate business development in the regulatory environment. Work undertaken includes the preparation of GRAS notifications for dairy ingredients, evaluation of requirements for transgenic protein production, regulatory approval for product manufacturing protocols and assistance with the review of equipment design requirements.
