Powders
Despite more inquiries on SMP and a fairly stable price for concentrate, there is still a sense of uncertainty – mainly due to the unpredictability of governments over possible lockdowns in the fall. End users remember last autumn, when they had full stocks of raw material and their production was limited due to the lockdown. After a few, rather calm weeks, new inquires from export destinations are incoming. WPC80 and WPI90 stable.
Cheese
This is not the best time for cheese. Low interest from buyers – prices around 3 EUR/kg EXW DE/NL. However, the interest in cheese offcuts is not declining.
Fats
Due to the increase in the price of cream, the price of butter production in Poland fluctuates at the level of 3.80-3.82 EUR/kg EXW PL and the producers believe that this trend will be maintained. Stocks of frozen butter are high. The demand for butter cubes is steady. However, the interest in AMF has weakened – the situation should change at the end of the month, when Buyers return to their offices and check their stocks.
Liquids
Prices of raw milk are consolidating across Europe comparing to previous weeks. Producers claim that this will be the trend now. SMC was rising for another week by 50-100 EUR/MT. Diminishing quantities of cream caused a rapid increase in price at the levels of 100-150 EUR/MT. It might have an influence on butter.

Technical aspects
Soy Protein Isolate is a light colored powder with a neutral taste. It is made by extracting most of the fats, carbohydrates and non-protein components from the soybeans, leaving a product that is almost pure protein. The soybeans are dehulled, the protein is extracted using solvents or water, and the resulting material is dried to a fine powder.
Soy Protein Isolate is an excellent source of protein and is highly digestible. It is also known for its foaming, emulsifying and gelling properties. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the flavor of foods, increasing the elasticity of foods, and improving oil and water retention.
Application
Soy Protein Isolate is mainly used in the food industry. In the production of meat, it is used for its emulsifying, water-binding and gelling properties. Soy Protein Isolate is also used in the manufacture of vegetarian products as a substitute for zoonotic protein. Due to its high nutritional value, it is also used in the production of energy bars.
