Excellion® Calcium Caseinate I | Dutch FrieslandCampina Slow-Release Milk Protein, 91% Protein

【FrieslandCampina 125+ Years of Dairy Expertise — Instantized Calcium Caseinate, 91% Protein】
Excellion® Calcium Caseinate I is manufactured by FrieslandCampina Ingredients (The Netherlands), a global leader in dairy protein with over 125 years of expertise. Produced from fresh skimmed milk via acid precipitation, water washing (to remove lactose), alkaline neutralization with Ca(OH)₂, and spray drying, with 0.3% sunflower lecithin added for instantization. Protein content reaches 91% (96% on dry matter basis), lactose is extremely low (≤ 0.25%), fat is ≤ 1.5%, and pH is tightly controlled at 6.5–7.1 for batch-to-batch consistency. The powder is white, neutral-tasting, low-dusting, and disperses readily to form a thick, creamy milk-like drink.

 

【Slow-Release Protein Profile — Sustained Amino Acid Supply for ~4–8 Hours】
Calcium caseinate forms a gel structure in the stomach under acidic conditions, resulting in a slower digestion rate and a prolonged, steady release of amino acids over approximately 4–8 hours. This sustained supply is well-suited for formulations designed for extended protein coverage, such as overnight recovery products or long-duration nutritional supplements.

 

【Complete Essential Amino Acid Profile — PDCAAS Score of 1.0】
Protein is an important component of human cells and tissues and contributes to tissue growth and repair. Excellion® provides a complete essential amino acid (EAA) profile with a PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) of 1.0 — the maximum possible score. Key EAAs including methionine, phenylalanine, histidine, and valine are present at levels advantageous compared to whey protein concentrate (Gorissen et al., Amino Acids 2018). The ultra-low lactose content (≤ 0.25%) also helps reduce the risk of protein glycation.
