MICELLAR CASEIN ISOLATE

Product Overview

Native Micellar Casein | Slow-Digesting Milk Protein | Membrane-Filtered | Australian Made | BRC Certified

Micellar Casein Isolate is a high-protein milk protein manufactured in Australia from fresh skim milk using membrane filtration technology. Unlike caseinates produced by acid precipitation, this gentle filtration process keeps the casein in its native micellar structure — the intact protein form as it naturally exists in milk — which is what gives the ingredient its distinctive slow-digesting, gel-forming behaviour.

Because native micellar casein forms a gel in the stomach and breaks down gradually, it provides a slow, steady release of amino acids over several hours. That property is precisely why it is prized in sports and adult nutrition: it supports muscle recovery and satiety over an extended period, making it the protein of choice for night-time and sustained-release formulations. It also brings functional value to dairy manufacturing, where it is used to fortify the protein content of cheese milk. This product is BRC (GFSI) certified and made in Australia to Australian Standard methods.

How Food & Beverage Manufacturers Use This Ingredient

Micellar Casein Isolate is used by manufacturers as a native, slow-release milk protein. Typical applications include:

• Sports Nutrition Manufacturing: Formulated into recovery and "night-time" protein powders where its slow, sustained amino-acid release supports overnight muscle recovery — a key point of difference from fast-digesting whey.
• Adult & Functional Nutrition Manufacturing: Used as a high-quality protein in adult nutritional powders, meal replacements, and functional drinks, where sustained-release protein supports satiety and steady nutrition.
• Cheese Manufacturing (Milk Fortification): Added to cheese milk to lift protein content and standardise the protein-to-fat ratio, improving yield and consistency.
• High-Protein Beverage Manufacturing: Contributes protein and a smooth, creamy body to protein drinks and shakes.
• Protein Bar & Snack Manufacturing: Provides slow-digesting protein and firm, cohesive texture in nutrition bars.

Key Features

• Native Micellar Structure: Casein retained in its intact natural form via membrane filtration — not acid-precipitated
• Slow, Sustained Release: Gels in the stomach for gradual amino-acid delivery over hours — ideal for recovery and night-time protein
• Australian Made, BRC Certified: Local provenance and GFSI-recognised food-safety certification
• Dual Nutrition & Dairy Functionality: Serves both sports/adult nutrition and cheese-milk fortification
• Clean, Creamy Body: Adds smooth mouthfeel and body to protein beverages
