Table 1.
Protein composition of the Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC).
% of Total Protein | EH-WPC | MP-WPC |
---|---|---|
β-lactoglobulin | 39% | 37% |
α-lactalbumin | 20% | 23% |
β-casein | 28% | 24% |
others | 13% | 16% |
The percentage of specific casein and whey proteins in WPC at pH 7.1, determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. EH-WPC = extensively heated whey protein concentrate, MP-WPC = mildly pasteurized whey protein concentrate.
