Dairy, a source of "complete" protein, is a prime candidate for high-quality protein and nutrition products, fueling a growing interest in dairy protein. This burgeoning interest makes protein analysis more crucial than ever.
Just as all proteins are not created equal, not all milk is created equal. Protein levels can vary based on factors such as the health of the animals, the methods of gathering, storage, and shipping, its use in recipes, and various other considerations. This highlights the increasing importance of accurate dairy protein determination.

In a recent article with FOOD-Lab International Technical, R&D Director Monika Partyka explains the utilization of LECO's FP928 Protein Analyzer in a laboratory in Poland. The lab employs the FP928 to analyze approximately 600 protein samples from different types of foods each month.
Partyka highlights that utilizing the DUMAS method with LECO's analyzer allows the laboratory staff to divert their attention to other tasks while the machine operates entirely automatically.
Employing the DUMAS method with the FP928, each sample's runtime is within five minutes, eliminating intricate sample preparation requirements and providing a cost-effective and accurate analytical method.
