Descriptions explain the commercial role of each ingredient while keeping detailed specifications and proprietary claims tied to current technical documentation.

01 / Dairy Family

Caseins & Caseinate Systems

Milk-protein ingredients used for structure, emulsification, water binding, nutrition and texture. Solubility and performance vary by product and process.

Request Specifications
Casein family

Acid Casein

A casein ingredient evaluated for protein enrichment, structure and process-specific functional systems.

Casein family

Rennet Casein

A casein option commonly evaluated in processed-cheese and protein-structure applications.

Caseinate

Sodium Caseinate

A highly functional caseinate used for emulsification, water binding, foaming and protein enrichment.

Caseinate

Calcium Caseinate

A calcium-bearing caseinate used for protein fortification, texture and emulsification in selected systems.

Proprietary system

Vitalarmor® Casein System

A proprietary casein-system name appearing in Captain Drake’s dairy portfolio materials. Confirm the current product specification and intended application before publishing detailed claims.

Proprietary system

Vitalyse® Casein System

A proprietary casein-system name appearing in Captain Drake’s dairy portfolio materials. Request current technical documentation for composition, functionality and application guidance.

02 / Dairy Family

Whey Protein Ingredients

Whey protein concentrate and isolate options for protein enrichment, beverage, powder, bar and nutrition applications.

Request Specifications
Whey protein concentrate

WPC 80

Whey Protein Concentrate with an approximately 80% protein grade designation. Confirm composition, flavor, solubility, heat treatment and microbiological specification.

Whey protein isolate

WPI 90

Whey Protein Isolate with an approximately 90% protein grade designation, typically selected when higher protein concentration and lower non-protein solids are priorities.

03 / Dairy Family

Milk Protein Concentrates & Isolates

Concentrated milk proteins retain both casein and whey fractions in a milk-like ratio while increasing protein content and reducing lactose relative to milk powder.

Request Specifications
Milk protein concentrate

MPC 70

Milk Protein Concentrate identified by a nominal protein grade around 70%.

Milk protein concentrate

MPC 80

A higher-protein MPC grade for nutrition, dairy and food applications requiring concentrated milk protein.

Milk protein isolate

MPI 85

Milk Protein Isolate / high-protein milk ingredient listed in Captain Drake’s portfolio as MPI 85. Confirm the exact compositional standard and product designation in current documentation.

04 / Dairy Family

Dairy Powders & Cheese Support

Dairy ingredients for solids, flavor, color and formulation support across bakery, confectionery, beverages and cheese systems.

Request Specifications
Organic dairy powder

Organic Milk Powder

Milk powder supplied under an applicable organic program for dairy solids, flavor, nutrition and formulation support.

Cheese formulation support

Process Cheese Color

Color solutions intended for processed-cheese systems. Confirm source, carrier, shade, regulatory status and labeling requirements for the target market.

—— Frequently Asked Questions

Practical questions for non-GMO sourcing

The strongest claims are the ones supported by the exact product documentation.

The numbers refer to typical protein-grade designations. WPI is more highly refined and generally has a higher protein concentration with lower levels of lactose and fat than WPC. Final composition and functionality must be confirmed on the current specification.

Milk protein concentrates and isolates contain both casein and whey proteins in proportions closer to milk, while WPC and WPI are derived from the whey fraction. This difference affects nutrition, flavor, solubility, heat response and functional performance.

Yes. These ingredients are milk-derived and should be managed as milk allergens. Manufacturers must review supplier allergen documentation and apply the labeling and control requirements relevant to their market.

Usually not without evaluation. Protein concentration, mineral balance, lactose, fat, heat history, particle characteristics and solubility can change processing and finished-product performance.

No. The names are included because they appear in Captain Drake’s dairy portfolio materials, but detailed composition and claims should be taken only from current company-approved technical documents.
