WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE MIXED WITH IRON AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide WPC (whey protein concentrate) mixed with iron and excellent in absorption of iron and anemia ameliorating effect through effectively using whey produced as by-products of cheese and casein, and to provide a method for producing the WPC.

SOLUTION: The whey protein concentrate mixed with iron contains 0.001-0.05 pt.wt. of iron per pt.wt. of whey protein, and has no iron astringent taste. The concentrate is produced by mixing ferrous ion-containing aqueous solution with whey followed by ultrafiltrating, or mixing ferrous ion with ultrafiltrated whey.
