Nutritional Benefits of Protein Powder & Its Applications

Protein Powder & its Types

Protein powders are the concentrated source of protein, obtained from animal or plant foods, such as dairy, eggs, rice or peas. They have immense popularity among the people who are very conscious of their health. Protein powders are primarily available in 3 forms, namely- Protein concentrates, Protein isolates, & Protein hydrolysates.

Protein concentrate consists of around 60-80% protein, with the remaining 20-40% comprising of fat and carbs. The protein is extracted from the food contents with the help of heat and acid or enzymes. Protein Isolate is obtained by filtering out the fat and carb content from protein concentrates. This increases the protein content in the solution, taking it to 90-95%.
