Whey Protein Concentrate

Generally speaking, whey protein falls into three classifications:

1. whey protein concentrate
2. whey protein isolate
3. whey protein blends

Although they're the least expensive, whey protein concentrates also have the highest amount of fat and lactose, which may be desirable for your manufacturing.

In contrast, whey protein isolates have the highest protein of the three and have no carbohydrates, lactose, or fat. Along with this macronutrient profile comes a higher price for the whey protein isolates.

Whey protein blends are the most common whey protein powders for food manufacturers and consumers alike. Products with whey protein blends incorporate both whey protein isolate and concentrate to make a product that's both high quality and affordable.

Whey protein concentrate is distinguished from other forms of whey protein by its low levels of fat and cholesterol and high levels of bioactive compounds and carbohydrates. The percentage of protein by weight of whey protein concentrate can range from 29%-89%.

Whey Protein Concentrate Uses

Because it's easily digested and absorbed by the body after workouts and facilitates muscle development, whey protein concentrate is a tremendously popular ingredient in foods consumed by bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.

If you're looking to increase the satiety of your products, whey protein concentrate is an ideal ingredient. Whey protein concentrate makes you feel fuller longer and therefore helps you eat less.

Given its muscle-building properties, whey protein concentrate is a popular ingredient in sports drinks.

Whey protein also has important swelling and water-retaining capabilities, helping items like frozen dough preserve gumminess and moistness over longer periods of time.
