17 - Our products - - Our Who products we are - Alpha Alpha-lactalbumin BiPRO BioZate Whey protein isolates Whey protein hydrolysates Alpha-lactalbumin is the purest isolated form of bovine alphalactalbumin commercially available. Alpha-lactalbumin is the primary protein in human milk and is therefore extremely important for infant nutrition. As the second-highest protein found in whey protein isolate, it has all of the well-known benefits of whey proteins such as clean flavor, high solubility across a broad ph range, high branched chain amino acid content, and a complete essential amino acid profile with high bioavailability. - Uniquely high in these amino acids: > Tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin and melatonin > Leucine, the trigger for muscle protein synthesis > Cysteine, a glutathione precursor - High protein quality; a complete amino acid profile with high digestibility and delivery. - A clean, neutral taste - Lactose-and fat-free - Protein-fortified beverages - Lactose-free and reduced carbohydrate/fat/calorie foods - Nutritional and dietary supplements - Infant formula - Nutrition bars - Dry mixes - Renal nutrition foods - Medical foods BiPRO Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is the first of a new generation of dairy ingredients, which combine superior nutrition, enhanced functionality, complete solubility, and neutral flavor. BiPRO provides the competitive edge, in terms of nutrition, functionality and flavor. - Excellent nutritive value - High-quality, complete protein - Source of branched chain amino acids BCAAs) - Fully soluble; stable in beverages over a wide ph range - High gel strength - Bland, neutral taste - Carbohydrate-free; typically contains less than 0.5g lactose per 100g powder - Fat-free; typically contains less than 0.5g fat per 100g powder BiPRO is a completely natural, unique dairy protein produced from pasteurized whey through proprietary selective ion-exchange technology. The unique ion-exchange process selects the primary functional and nutritional proteins betalactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin for isolation and spray drying. - Ice cream and frozen desserts - Nutritional products - Beverages - Baked goods - Infant formula - Dry mixes - Nutrition bars BioZate is a nutritionally complete protein source with rapid digestibility converted from ion-exchange purified whey protein. Ion-exchange yields the highest possible natural levels of branched chain amino acids BCAAs including leucine, the molecular trigger for muscle protein synthesis. Typically at 95% protein, the BioZate family of whey protein hydrolysates allows fortification to high levels of protein without significant levels of lactose, fat or minerals which can alter the nutrient profile or properties of formulated products. - Clear in solutions - High-quality, complete protein - Source of branched chain amino acids BCAAs - Fully soluble; stable in beverages over a wide ph range - High gel strength - Bland, neutral taste - Lactose-, fat-, and gluten-free - Sports nutrition - Beverages for special diets - Extruded and sheeted snacks - Infant formula - Nutrition bars 33
