Whey products

Whey products in this collection are three food-ingredient sources of whey protein: Whey Protein Concentrate 34, Whey Protein Concentrate 70/80 and Whey Protein Isolate 90. Their names help orient a comparison by broad protein level, but do not establish exact composition or prove which ingredient will perform best in a formulation. For bulk purchasing, compare the product specification and lot analysis against your protein target, process and handling requirements.

Dairy Ingredients

Whey Protein Concentrate 34

Whey Protein Concentrate 34 is a spray-dried dairy powder used in food formulations for its whey protein contribution and functional effects on texture, water binding and viscosity. Compare protein basis, composition and process needs to distinguish it from higher-protein concentrates and isolate.

Dairy Ingredients

Whey Protein Isolate 90

Whey protein isolate 90 is a dried whey-derived protein ingredient used in food formulations for protein supplementation and functional roles such as gelation, whipping, water binding and emulsification. Compare the protein basis, powder form and any additives against the needs of your process.

Three whey protein options

This collection covers Whey Protein Concentrate 34, Whey Protein Concentrate 70/80 and Whey Protein Isolate 90. The names distinguish broad protein-level groups: WPC 34 is the lower-protein concentrate, WPC 70/80 is a higher-protein concentrate, and WPI 90 is a higher-protein isolate.

Higher concentration generally means more nonprotein components have been removed, but a grade name does not establish the exact lactose, fat or mineral content. Confirm the offered product’s specification, including whether protein is reported on a dry basis or as sold.

Choose for the formulation, not the number alone

These are food-ingredient options. Protein contribution matters, but it does not by itself predict how an ingredient will perform in a finished product. Composition and processing can affect functional behavior, so the highest protein option is not automatically the best fit.

Start with the role the ingredient must fill, then compare product-specific technical information relevant to your process. Where performance is critical, evaluate the actual grade in the intended formulation rather than assuming concentrates and isolate are interchangeable.

What to verify for a bulk purchase

Review a current product specification and the lot certificate of analysis. Compare protein basis and results alongside reported moisture, milkfat, pH, flavor, appearance and microbiological criteria. Ask for lactose, ash or minerals, solubility and other application-relevant details when they matter to your formulation; do not infer them from the grade name.

Before ordering, align the product’s food-grade documentation and analysis with your requirements. Confirm packaging, shelf life and storage and transport conditions from the documentation for the specific offer, since these are not uniform across the collection.

Common questions.

Does WPC 70/80 guarantee a specific protein percentage?+

No. Confirm whether the offered grade is 70, 80 or another stated value, and check the assay basis and lot result.

Does WPI 90 mean the product is lactose-free?+

No. The name alone does not establish lactose content. Request a product-specific result or stated limit.

How should I choose between concentrate and isolate?+

Match protein contribution and relevant functional performance to your formulation. Compare product documentation and, where needed, evaluate the ingredient in the intended process.

Can I treat WPC 34, WPC 70/80 and WPI 90 as interchangeable?+

Not without checking. Their composition and functional behavior can differ, so confirm the relevant specification and application fit.
