From Milk to Protein Powder

At the next phase, the milk has to be pasteurized in order to get rid of the bacteria harmful to the organism. The phase following, is the process of the production of cheese products, their by-product being whey in liquid form.
All that whey is then collected and diverted to the next process, in which, with the help of various modes of filtration, whey is finally separated from other substances. The quality of the final product depends on the chosen method of whey separation from other materials.
When the matter is processed, or when we get the whey protein isolate, the drying process begins, which drains all the water. This process finally gives us whey in powdered form.
This whey is then added various other substances in the processing stage.
That is how we are provided with a variety of flavors to satisfy even the choosiest individuals. At the end, the product is flat-packed, and distributed everywhere so that it is able to buy.
