What effects potency of Bioactive Whey Protein?
There are several factors affecting the functional properties of whey proteins. These include the origin of whey, season-dependent variations of its components, and the techniques used to process the whey, including heat treatments, pH, exposure to humidity, and mechanical agitation, all of which can damage the delicate proteins in whey and reduce its bioactivity (Paulsson, 1990; Zhu and Damodaran, 1994; Haque and Sharma, 1997; Ju et al., 1997). Because bioactive whey proteins which are packaged in containers or tubs expose the whey proteins to humidity when the tubs are opened (and allow for degradation of the product), it is recommended that bioactive whey proteins packaged for single use (like Immunocal) be selected to ensure maximum potency. Q: Is there a difference between whey protein concentrate and isolate? A: Yes, there may be a large difference between the two. Whey protein isolate is the most pure and the concentrated form of whey protein available. It contains 90% or more p
