Whey Protein Concentrate

What is Whey protein concentrate

Whey a by-product of cheese, that is manufactured from Cow’s milk. The curds (a result of a renneting agent being added to milk) are set and either cooked or piled upon one another and then cut to release the whey. This whey is the raw material that will eventually make up whey protein powder.

The whey protein powder is a collection of globular proteins and it contains four main protein fractions and six minor ones. The four main are: beta-lactoglobulin (approx. 65%), alpha lactalbumin (approx. 25%), serum albumin (approx 8%) and immunoglobulins. These all combined give whey protein the highest Biological Value (BV) of any known protein.

The biological value means that a vast amount of the protein intake from whey powder is effectively used by the body and also there is a favourable amino acid ratio for growth.

WPC Regular : Regular WPC is the standard form of whey protein that typically dissolves more slowly and requires more effort when mixing, especially in liquids. It is less processed compared to instant WPC and is often preferred for baking or food processing applications. Due to the minimal processing, regular WPC tends to be more affordable.

WPC Instant :Instant WPC, on the other hand, is specially processed with an ingredient like lecithin, which helps it dissolve quickly and easily in liquids. It has unique properties like Matrix interruption/dispersed phase , Stable protein particles, Denatured protein microparticles , Foam stability . This makes it ideal for beverages, shakes, or any application where rapid mixing is required. Instant WPC is slightly more expensive due to the additional processing involved but provides a more user-friendly experience, particularly for individuals looking for convenience.
