Description

Lactalbumin is a high-quality, globular protein fraction derived from whey, known for its excellent nutritional profile and functional properties. This product is essential for formulators seeking a clean-label protein source with high biological value and a balanced amino acid composition. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, infant nutrition, sports nutrition, and pharmaceutical industries.

Application

• Infant Formula & Clinical Nutrition: As a primary protein source due to its amino acid profile similarity to human milk protein.
• Sports & Performance Nutrition: Incorporated into protein powders, bars, and ready-to-drink beverages for muscle recovery and synthesis.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Used to enhance the protein content and nutritional value of products like yogurts, meal replacements, and health drinks.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Employed as a binder or coating agent in tablet formulations.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a nutrient component in microbiological and biotechnological applications.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Utilized in hair and skin care products for its conditioning and film-forming properties.
