Product Description

Hydrolyzed Whey Protein (WPH) represents the pinnacle of protein processing technology. It is produced by taking high‑quality whey protein (typically from WPC80 or WPI90 sources) and subjecting it to a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process. During hydrolysis, specialized proteases (enzymes such as Alcalase, Neutrase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin) break the long polypeptide chains into much smaller peptide fragments and free amino acids. This process is often referred to as “pre‑digestion,” as it mimics the natural breakdown that occurs in the human digestive system, significantly accelerating absorption and reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

What Is Hydrolyzed Whey Protein (WPH)?

Traditional whey proteins, including concentrate (WPC) and isolate (WPI), are composed of large intact protein molecules that the body must break down over 60‑90 minutes. In contrast, hydrolyzed whey protein is already fragmented into smaller units. The result is the fastest absorbing form of whey protein available. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) can be precisely controlled. A common high‑grade standard is Optipep® 90 DH4, which denotes a DH of around 4% – meaning approximately 4% of the peptide bonds have been cleaved. This specific DH provides a balance between rapid absorption, low bitterness, and excellent functional properties. Most importantly, hydrolysis reduces the molecular weight of the protein; a significant portion is reduced to peptides smaller than 1000 Daltons.

Key Processing Details

• Enzymatic Hydrolysis (Controlled Process): Our process utilizes a combination of food‑grade enzymes (including Alcalase and Neutrase) under carefully monitored conditions (pH 8.5, 50°C) to achieve a consistent degree of hydrolysis and peptide profile.

• Cross‑Flow Microfiltration + Hydrolysis: The starting material is first purified using cross‑flow microfiltration (CFM) or similar gentle technologies, removing fat, lactose, and minerals while preserving the native protein structure prior to hydrolysis.

• Spray‑Drying: The hydrolyzed peptide solution is then spray‑dried under low‑temperature conditions to preserve biological activity and ensure a free‑flowing, stable powder with excellent solubility and neutral flavour.

Why Choose Hydrolyzed Whey Protein?

• Ultra‑Fast Absorption & Bioavailability (Peak Amino Acids in ~30 min): Because the protein is already broken down, WPH bypasses the slow initial digestion step. Amino acids reach the bloodstream significantly faster than intact proteins (peak at ~30‑60 minutes vs ~90‑120 minutes for WPC), providing an immediate supply of building blocks for muscle repair.

• Reduced Allergenicity (Hypoallergenic Profile): Hydrolysis breaks down the immunogenic peptides in milk proteins (such as β‑lactoglobulin) that commonly trigger allergic responses. This process can reduce antigenicity to as low as 1/100,000th of that of intact β‑lactoglobulin, making WPH suitable for use in partially or extensively hydrolyzed hypoallergenic formulas.

• Superior Solubility & Heat Stability: Hydrolyzed proteins exhibit excellent solubility across a wide pH range, even in cold water, and many hydrolyzed forms are designed to withstand ultra‑high‑temperature (UHT) processing without coagulating or losing clarity.

• Minimal Digestive Discomfort: The small peptide size is easier for the gut to process, requiring fewer digestive enzymes. This reduces the likelihood of bloating, gas, and other gastrointestinal distress commonly associated with concentrated intact proteins.

• Complete Amino Acid Profile (PDCAAS 1.00): Despite hydrolysis, WPH retains a complete essential amino acid profile, including high levels of BCAAs (approx. 20‑23g per 100g protein), supporting muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and overall health.

• Excellent Functional Properties: WPH exhibits excellent solubility across a wide pH range and remains stable under ultra‑high‑temperature (UHT) processing conditions, making it suitable for a diverse range of beverage and liquid applications.

• Versatile Applications: WPH is not limited to sports nutrition. It is a critical ingredient in medical nutrition (enteral feeding) and specialized infant formulas (partially or extensively hydrolyzed protein sources for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy or other digestive sensitivities).

🍽 How to Use Hydrolyzed Whey Protein

For Best Results

• Shake or Blend: Add one scoop (approx. 25‑35g) to 250‑350ml of cold water, milk, or plant‑based beverage. Shake vigorously in a shaker bottle or blend for a smooth consistency. Due to its high solubility, WPH dissolves easily even in cold water with minimal shaking.

• Post‑Workout (Sports Nutrition): Consume immediately after training (within 30‑45 minutes) for ultra‑fast muscle repair and recovery, to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

• Between Meals: Use as a convenient, low‑calorie protein snack to maintain satiety and support daily protein intake goals.

• Medical & Clinical Nutrition: As directed by a healthcare professional, used in enteral feeding formulas or as a protein supplement for patients with increased protein requirements or malabsorption issues.

• Infant Formula: Used as a specialized ingredient in extensively hydrolyzed formulas for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy, under strict medical supervision.

Preparation Tips

• Scoop Size: Level the scoop to ensure accurate dosing.

• Mixing: WPH disperses easily in cold liquids without clumping. For a smoother texture, add liquid gradually and shake well.

• Flavouring: Unflavoured WPH has a very clean, neutral taste with minimal bitterness (depending on DH). It can be easily mixed into smoothies, juices, yogurts, oatmeal, or even coffee without significantly altering flavour.

• Heat Stability: While WPH is heat‑stable (can be added to hot coffee or used in baking without coagulating), prolonged exposure to very high temperatures may degrade some amino acids; short, moderate heat applications are fine.

Important Safety Information

• Allergy Warning: Contains milk protein. Not suitable for individuals with milk allergies.

• Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have kidney disease, liver disease, phenylketonuria, or other chronic medical conditions.

• Not for Infants (Without Supervision): This product in its raw form is intended for healthy adults. When used as an ingredient in infant formula, it is under strict medical supervision and formulated to meet specific regulatory standards.
