BiPRO whey protein isolate (WPI) is the first of a new generation of dairy ingredients, which combine superior nutrition, enhanced functionality, complete solubility, and neutral flavor. BiPRO is a completely natural, unique dairy protein produced from pasteurized whey through proprietary selective ion exchange technology. The unique ion-exchange process selects the primary functional and nutritional proteins - beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin - for isolation and spray drying. In their pure form these functional whey protein groups can be used to replace much larger quantities of caseinates, soy protein, WPC, egg whites, or gelling agents. Thus in formulas where nutrition, high gel strength, viscosity, aeration, water binding, or solubility are crucial, BiPRO can radically improve the nutrition and flavor of any food or beverage. BiPRO provides the competitive edge, in terms of nutrition, functionality and flavor, for the introduction of successful, new products. Whey protein is a high quality protein source derived from milk and is the co-product in the manufacture of cheese. Whey protein is a collective term that describes the cow's milk proteins that are soluble in the low pH environment created when making cheese. Whey protein isolates are defined as having >90% protein on a dry weight basis. Protein is an important nutrient needed by everyone on a daily basis. It is made up of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the "building blocks" for healthy bodies. Proteins are necessary to repair body cells, to build and repair muscles and bones, to provide a source of energy, and to control many of the important processes in the body related to metabolism.
