In my analysis of the food and beverage market, I’m seeing a transformation in the breadth of how whey protein is being used, and who’s using it. I call it “mainstreamisation”. The English might not be perfect, but I think it’s nevertheless a very fitting description.
The first study to compare the effects of different whey protein forms together with chronic resistance exercise strengthens our knowledge of hydrolyzed whey protein versus intact whey and the predominant whey fraction, lactoferrin.
There’s strong evidence to support whey protein as a natural milk-derived protein source to combat muscle loss in aging and sedentary individuals – but outdated ideas about bone calcium loss and kidney damage are still making their rounds.
Protein powder may be making its way into home recipes for healthier, high-protein snacks and meals, but issues remain on how it is marketed to the masses.
From a protein nutritional perspective, animal-based food production might not be as bad for the environment, compared with crops cultivation, as we may be led to believe.
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has increased markedly over the last few decades, bringing with it a long list of complications including cardiovascular disease, cancer, damage to the nervous system, eyes and kidneys, cognitive function and heightened risk of dementia
Vertical roller mills have long been recognised as the industry standard for raw mills – and are quickly gaining ground as cement grinders.
Whey protein is rapidly becoming a popular ingredient in clinical applications, thanks to its full complement of essential amino acids as well as several other bioactive constituents that together support treatment regimes for a number of common conditions, including sarcopenia, obesity and malnutrition, post-illness recovery. Such far-reaching potential is seeing rising global demand for whey […]
DESMI’s upgraded test bed technology is a vast improvement in performance testing. Once a pump is secured on its skid, an auto-cycle fills the pump cylinder with liquid, pushes the air out and automatically tests various points on a pre-determined pump curve. All the while, two viewing monitors provide a continuous and complete readout of […]
We’ve developed a full range of emulsifiers and stabilizers as well as integrated blends to keep your ice cream products performing like winners.
Today, a wide variety of ingredients may appear on the label of infant formulas – a label mothers need to use to determine which product is right for their precious offspring. Alpha-lactalbumin, whey protein hydrolysates, OPN, phospholipids and MFGM are just some of the ingredients being highlighted, giving consumers plenty more to ponder over.
Rough seas with wave heights up to 50% above the stipulated heavy weather testing requirements proved no obstacle for VIKING’s innovative LifeCraft™ system, paving the way for cruise ship operators worldwide to benefit from all the advantages that this new hybrid – intended to replace lifeboats/liferafts – has to offer.
Cement producers are increasingly adopting digital solutions across the flowsheet, not just to support automation and process control, but also to reduce fuel consumption, increase production, and improve product quality.
Using supplementary cementitious materials is an effective way to reduce the clinker factor in cement production
