What it is

Lactalbumin is a protein found in milk. It is derived from whey, a byproduct of cheese production. The whey is processed to isolate and purify the lactalbumin.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lactalbumin as a source of protein and for its emulsifying properties, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water. It can also contribute to texture and browning in baked goods.

Health notes

Lactalbumin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common dietary protein, and no adverse health effects are expected from its consumption at typical levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it.

Allergen info

Lactalbumin is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
