ICE WHEY EXPLAINED.

Not all Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is created equal. In fact, there are several different types processes employed by dairy manufacturers to produce WPI.
In all cases, ultra-filtration processes are first used to manufacture whey protein concentrates (WPC's). Once dried, WPC powders contain up to 80% protein, but typically still contain 5-7% fat and similar quantities of lactose. Further processing is required to produce whey protein isolates with over 90% protein content and little or no lactose and fat.

• Cation Exchange
• Anion Exchange
• Microfiltration
