What is WPC?
Whey Protein Concentrates (WPCs) are highly functional and nutritional ingredients, manufactured from cheese and casein whey by membrane filtration processes.They are suitable for use in a variety of applications such as yoghurt, beverages and dairy desserts. They also provide a premium source of protein fortification for nutritional products and infant food. WPCs provide a gelling property when dissolved in water and heated. This property is beneficial for some dairy foods and meat industry applications.
Pure
Whey protein is one of the most concentrated forms of protein due to its high whey protein composition (>80% whey). It is rapidly digested by the body allowing fast absorption of its nutritional benefits into the bloodstream and muscles. It is naturally high in the three essential amino acids (leucine, iso-leucine and valine) compared to other protein sources, with leucine being recognised as the trigger for muscle protein synthesis.
Highly Functional
Whey proteins are highly soluble and provide excellent emulsifying, foaming and water binding functional benefits in various food applications. It is available in different protein, fat and mineral compositions.
Versatile
WPC improves the texture and reduces syneresis of yoghurt products (including high protein yoghurt) without compromising on taste. Its excellent gelling properties make it an ideal gelling agent for meat products. The foaming and whipping properties of WPC allow manufacturers to use it as an egg replacement in bakery products.Together with its high quality protein profile, WPCs are ideal ingredients for sports nutrition applications, e.g. protein bars, gels and sports beverages.
Manufacturing Process
Low temperature processing ensures retention of nutritional and functional properties.

The product is of uniform light cream color and is free-flowing and non-caking. This product is instantized with sunflower lecithin.
Product Characteristics
• Excellent dispersibility
• Soluble over a wide pH range
Suggested Uses
• Excellent nutritional value
• Improved handling properties
Nutritional Products Dry Mix Beverages
Whey Protein Concentrate 450
WPC 450 is an instantised, soluble milk protein manufactured from fresh cheese whey using an ultrafiltration process. Whey Protein Concentrate 450 is ideal for dry mix beverage due to high nutritional value, excellent solubility throughout the pH range, and enhanced dispersibility.
Product Characteristics
• Excellent dispersibility
• Soluble over a wide pH range
Suggested Uses
Dry Mix Beverages
Storage & Handling
Whey Protein Concentrates are hygroscopic and can absorb odours. Therefore adequate protection is essential. It is recommended that product is stored at temperatures below 25°C, relative humidity below 65% and in an odour free environment. Stocks should be used in rotation preferably within 24 months of manufacture. Our WPC is a spray-dried, soluble milk protein manufactured from fresh cheese whey or casein whey using an ultrafiltration process. Low temperature processing ensures retention of both nutritional and functional properties.
What is WPI?
Whey Protein Isolates (WPIs) are highly functional and nutritional ingredients, manufactured from cheese whey. They are suitable for use in a variety of applications such as sports nutrition, nutritional neutral and acidic beverages, clear beverages, yoghurt, protein nutrition bars and whipped toppings. They also provide a premium source of protein fortification for nutritional products. Specialised WPIs are clear in solution, making them ideal for clear sports drinks or functional waters. WPI is a spray-dried, soluble milk protein, manufactured from fresh cheese whey using an ultrafiltration process and microfiltration or ion exchange to achieve the highest protein level.
Pure
Whey Protein Isolate is one of the most concentrated forms of protein due to its high whey protein composition (90% protein). It is rapidly digested by the body, allowing fast absorption of its nutritional benefits into the bloodstream and muscles.
Highly Functional
Whey proteins are highly soluble and provide excellent emulsifying, foaming and water binding functional benefits in various food applications. WPI is comparatively high in protein and low in fat and lactose compared to WPC.
Versatile
We supply high quality microfiltered (MF) and ion exchange (IX) WPI specifications suited for nutritional products. WPI is ideal for use in powdered and ready to drink beverages with good stability at low pH. It is the whey protein of choice where low lactose is required. WPI improves the texture and reduces syneresis of yoghurt products. Other applications include meringue, whipped toppings, smoothies, protein bars and jellies.
Manufacturing Process
Low temperature processing ensures retention of nutritional and functional properties.
