    New plastic pails from Plastican

    July 28, 2009
    Plastican introduced a line of lightweight, ergonomic plastic pails for food packaging.



    Plastican introduced a line of lightweight, ergonomic plastic pails for food packaging. Suitable for liquids or dry foods, the round 4- and 4¼-gallon containers offer easy handling and resealability and contain ergonomic finger grips that are built into each pail. Although light in weight, the rigid containers have excellent stacking strength and are designed for close nesting to maximize the number of units per truckload, resulting in fewer shipments and less product handling and packaging waste.

      Optimize Whey Protein Isolate Production: Discover New Opportunities from Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate Research

      On Demand Production of Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) have always been hampered by the creation of pro-cream. This occurs as a byproduct during the microfiltration step to remove the remaining cream in Whey Protein Concentrate to achieve 90% WPI. However, new advancements in WPI processing equipment alongside research conducted at the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, has helped increase value, awareness and applications for the use of Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate (WPPC).
