Description

Whey Protein Concentrates (WPC) are derived through the drying process of whey, wherein nonprotein components such as water, minerals, and lactose are extracted. Our product line includes a variety of WPC options, each distinct in its protein purity and concentration levels. These include: 

•  WPC35  

• WPC50 

• WPC65 

• WPC80 and  

• WPC80 instant formulations.
  

The WPC35 variant contains a protein content of approximately 35%, offering a balanced nutritional profile suitable for various dietary needs. With a protein content of around 50%, WPC50 provides a higher concentration of protein for those seeking a more potent supplement. WPC65 boasts an impressive protein content of about 65%, appealing to individuals aiming to increase their protein intake for enhanced performance. 

At the top end of our range, WPC80 features a substantial protein content of approximately 80%, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a potent protein supplement in their fitness regimen. Additionally, our WPC80 instant product is designed for convenience, providing a quick and easy way to incorporate high-quality protein into beverages and recipes. Each variant within our WPC selection is crafted to meet diverse dietary requirements and support optimal nutrition and performance goals. 

Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) Composition 

The composition of Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) typically includes crude protein ranging from 34% to 80%, with true protein levels falling between 29.7% and 75.0%. Lactose content can vary from 3.5% to 46.5%, while fat content ranges from 2.1% to 7.2%. Additionally, WPC may contain ash within the range of 3.1% to 7.8% and lactic acid between 1.2% and 2.8%. The moisture content of WPC powders generally falls between 4.0% and 4.6%. 

Quality is integral to WPC products, which must meet strict safety standards. They should be free from harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus. Moreover, WPC powders should have a maximum Standard Plate Count of 50,000 colony-forming units/gram (CFU/g) and less than 10 Coliform CFU/g. It is crucial to ensure that WPC powders are microbiologically safe for consumption. 

Another key aspect of Whey Protein Concentrates is that they are non-genetically modified, containing no genetically modified ingredients. As such, they do not require any special labeling related to genetic modification. This characteristic reinforces the transparency and purity of WPC products, providing consumers with reassurance regarding the quality and integrity of the ingredients used in these protein concentrates. 

Applications 

WPC35 powders serve as versatile ingredients in various food applications, functioning as a substitute for skimmed milk while providing stability and enhancing texture in yogurt, bakery mixes, dietetic foods, infant foods, and confections. Their water-binding properties, fat-replicating mouthfeel, and gelation capabilities are particularly advantageous when incorporated into these processed food items. On the other hand, WPC50, WPC65, or WPC80 are well-suited for nutritional beverages, soups, bakery goods, meat products, dietetic foods, low-fat items, and protein-enriched drinks. These WPC variants are known for their superior solubility across a wide range of pH levels, making them highly adaptable in different food formulations. 

The functionality of WPC50, WPC65, and WPC80 shines through in their application within nutritional drinks, soups, and bakery products, offering not only protein fortification but also improved texture and sensory attributes. These WPC variants play a vital role in enhancing the nutritional profile and taste of meat products, dietetic foods, and low-fat alternatives, catering to consumers’ evolving dietary preferences. Additionally, their ability to dissolve completely under various pH conditions ensures consistent quality and performance in a diverse range of food and beverage formulations. 

Whether it’s the versatility of WPC35 in dairy replacements and stabilizers or the solubility and functional benefits of WPC50, WPC65, and WPC80 in protein-fortified beverages and baked goods, Whey Protein Concentrates prove to be indispensable ingredients in the food industry. Their unique properties contribute to the development of innovative and nutritious products that meet consumer demand for healthier, functional, and flavorful food options.
