How Whey Protein is Made

How Whey Protein is Made
Whey protein is essential for building muscles and so every day millions of people around the world consume it as part of their diet. It is derived from cow milk as a by-product during the cheese-making process. A typical factory produces about 10,00 bottles of whey protein per day and it undergoes several important steps from the dairy farms to the factory floor before assuming its final form as a high-quality protein powder. But what are these steps and more importantly, How is Whey Protein made?

When I was little in most villages in my country people used to have animals in every house. Everybody made their own cheese. The leftover liquid whey is called "цвик" /tzvik/ and instead of throwing it away, they fed it to the pigs instead of water. Those porkers were absolutely shredded in a year or two.

Two things , first is either put more powder in the container or make a smaller container there’s so much empty space ! And second make it less chalky

[@Grunzaa]

It's filled to the brim at the factory but then settles over time and during shipping movement which is why when you open them they don't appear full.

[@houstonpromotion]

@@Grunzaa so make the container smaller like I said

[@Grunzaa]

Lol, container size does not matter. It's always going to settle over time and appear not full when first opened.

[@Torrque]

I’ve always thought about this and I have considered this: if the production line had a added step in the filling of the containers of fine powders, such as protein powders, which had a ultrasound rack that these containers rolled on as they were being filled, perhaps in a couple of short stages between portions of filling, this may be the only way to help settle these powders during initial packing (to what degree, I couldn’t say) so that the space in containers could be optimized AND wasted space in these plastics could be alleviated. Because it’s not just the annoyance of purchasing seemingly unfilled containers but also the stupidity in our species to be unnecessarily wasting yet more resources (container materials, shipping space hence shipping fuels and the manpower handling of just about as much air as product) when we HAVE the mental capacity to figure this silly little dilemma out… to do better… to be smarter and more efficient. Edit: or stop using hard containers/plastic “jars”… ever notice that bags of protein don’t contain as much useless air??

[@Quon6810]

So in other words all those companies have their protein manufactured from the same company? Or all those different brands are under one parent company

[@Doom_Music_Enjoyer]

Likely something of that nature til the powder is atomized and formed. Then the raw powder is likely sent to different facilities for different flavoring and additives that are brand unique.

[@mazocco]

There are around three main raw whey producers in each continent. All the brands buy from them

[@stb3987]

I noticed the same. They all seem to buy from the same factory. Very revealing

[@shabustinkslol]

Used to work at a plant that produced cheese and also WPC/WPC80 (whey protein concentrate/80% pure) Whey powder and whey protein concentrate powders are just commoditized inputs. Any cheese factory with a large enough foot print will have a WPC drying operation attached to it. These are the ones that are creating the base for the powders that you consume. They are sold and shipped off to customers in bulk totes weighing in at 2800~ lbs each. What the customer we sold it to does with it is up to them. I don't know of any cheese make facilities that also had an in house packaging line that was directed at the consumer. I assume some must exist, but I haven't seen it. Cheese is the primary goal, whey powder and lactose powders are just byproducts that are sold off in bulk to customers.

[@shabustinkslol]

@@stb3987 It's not the same factory, there are many of them throughout the USA. Any large cheese making plant will have a WPC drying plant attached to it to capture the value of the whey byproduct. And the plants that are too small for that, will ship their liquid whey to the big plants for further processing. Typically they will condense them (remove water) so the shipping cost is lower.
