Behind the WPC-80, short for WheyProtein Concentrate, hides a byproduct of the cheese-making process. This liquid whey is a protein-rich substance containing essential amino acids crucial for muscle development and overall health.
On the market, you'll find WPC ranging from 35% to 90%, indicating the percentage of protein content in the powder and dictating its potential applications.
Before WPC-80 became the go-to bodybuilding supplement, it had diverse applications across different industries thanks to its nutritional properties and functional characteristics:
- Infant formulas
- Fertilizer component
- Animal feed and livestock nutrition
- Supplements and pharmaceuticals
- Personal care products (cosmetics and hair care)
- Food applications (stabilizer, emulsifier, thickening agent)
- Bakery and confectionery (contributes to texture, moisture retention, browning)
The processing journey includes filtration and separation, pasteurization, microfiltration and ultrafiltration, drying, ion exchange for higher protein purity, and flavoring and sweetening.
