Rethink milk protein concentrates: a liquid solution to solid surplus

Scientific poster prepared by Valentine Truffault, PhD student, under the supervision of Guillaume Brisson.

In 2023, Canada produced over 75,000 tons of surplus non-fat dairy solids due to increasing demand for high-fat products such as cheese, butter, and cream. This study examines the valorisation of these by-products by developing liquid milk protein concentrates (LMPC) for human consumption. The goal is to understand how heat treatment following concentration impacts microbial stability, colloidal maturation, and rheology during storage, which are key factors in improving product stability over time.
