Whey And Milk Protein Concentrate

Whey and milk protein concentrate are dairy ingredients made from milk. They are produced by removing water, lactose, and minerals from liquid whey or skim milk. This process concentrates the protein content.

These ingredients are used to boost the protein content of foods and improve texture. They can also act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water. They are often found in protein bars, shakes, baked goods, and dairy-based products.

Whey and milk protein concentrate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of high-quality protein, which is important for muscle building and repair. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy proteins. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.
