Research and technology investments have enabled the U.S. dairy industry to launch a variety of high-value protein ingredients, including whey protein concentrates (WPC) ranging from 34-90% protein and whey protein isolate (WPI), which is more than 90% protein. WPI and WPC are the most functional of all whey ingredients.
Whey proteins can be formulated into many foods for added function, nutrition and flavor, but it’s important to choose the appropriate ingredient.
