The WPCrisp is a patented crispy whey protein made by extruding a combination of whey protein and an edible polysaccharide, such as cornstarch, through a twin-screw extruder.


DMI said the dairy flavour and nutrition of the whey protein would make it a suitable ingredient for products such as cereals, sports bars, frozen desserts and yoghurt toppings.


Rosemont, Illinois-based DMI aims to build demand for US dairy products and ingredients on behalf of US dairy farmers.
