Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 marghe, u are right, it seems like whey contains the *non* casein proteins. i just ran across this: " Centrifugation of the skim milk in an ultracentrifuge (usually about 50,000 x g or greater) results in pelleting of the casein and in a supernatant called whey (also sometimes called the serum phase of milk) which contains the water, lactose and soluble non-casein proteins. Once casein is removed, then by definition every other protein left in the milk preparation is a whey protein. " from: Milk Composition http://classes.aces.uiuc.edu/AnSci308/milkcomp.html i think this site probably answers all your questions re: whey... Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.
