Post by: Rami on October 31, 2008, 05:21:35 PM: If a whey powder is 80% protein by weight. What makes up the last 20% except for the few carbs, from sweetener and flavour?

I already mentioned "a few" carbs from flavors and sweetener, pay attention.

I'm going with this theory. Because, what else could it be?

yes, I imagine a cellulose like structure of the protein "fiber". The powder is just a collection of particles after all, not like some fine smoky homogeneous compound or dust for the most part. And inside these particles, who knows what is there. It could very well be a little water without making the particles any wet on the outside. Pure logic.

Sounds good...

But to make the long story short, please let's do the math...

Pure addition.

Title: Re: If a whey powder is 80% protein by weight. What is the rest?
Post by: ScottWelch on November 03, 2008, 08:13:59 AM: The rest is carbs (lactose), fat, mosture, ash (a.k.a. minerals), artificial flavors, additives and presevatives.

The highest concentrated whey protein isolate commercially available is WPI-97 which is 97% protein by weight. I'm aware of no protein on store shelves that uses only WPI-97 entirely, they blend it with less concentrated sources to reduce costs. Davisco Foods makes most of the WPI-97 sold to supplement companies. http://www.daviscofoods.com (http://www.daviscofoods.com)
