What types of bioactivity of bioactive whey proteins are available?
Whey protein concentrates are processed at low temperatures and low acid conditions. They can contain as much as 70% to 80% percent protein, with small amounts of lactose and minimal fats. In addition, low tempature and low acid filtration ensures that about 90% – 96% of this protein is undenatured. It also retains most of the active peptides. Some of the isolation procedures (ion-exchange procedures) can lead to a denaturation or a loss of the important peptides contained in whey. Ion exchange whey protein isolates may therefore be higher in protein percentage but may not offer the same immune enhancing and muscle building benefits as the lower protein whey concentrates. Cross flow micro (CFM) filtration methods have been developed in order to prevent the problems seen with ion exchange proteins. This method is used in the production of a whey protein called Immunocal and is the best method for whey protein concentration and isolation, without damaging the fragile bioactive proteins.
