Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a vitamin found in food and sold as a dietary supplement. [ 3] It is essential to the formation of two major coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide. These coenzymes are involved in energy metabolism, cellular respiration, and antibody production, as well as normal growth and ...
Whey protein is a mixture of proteins isolated from whey, the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production. The proteins consist of α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin and immunoglobulins. [ 1] Glycomacropeptide also makes up the third largest component but is not a protein. Whey protein is commonly marketed as a ...
Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. It is a byproduct of the manufacturing of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses. Sweet whey is a byproduct resulting from the manufacture of rennet types of hard cheese, like cheddar or Swiss cheese.
Biological value. Biological value ( BV) is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from a food which becomes incorporated into the proteins of the organism's body. It captures how readily the digested protein can be used in protein synthesis in the cells of the organism. Proteins are the major source of nitrogen in food.
Milk basic protein (MBP) is a fraction of whey protein found in milk. [1] Separated from milk through the process of fractionation, it is a functional compound [2] and consists of several milk proteins which are biologically active. The composition is approximately 54% lactoferrin and 41% lactoperoxidase, [3] with other active proteins, such as ...
Hydrolyzed protein. Hydrolyzed protein is a solution derived from the hydrolysis of a protein into its component amino acids and peptides. While many means of achieving this exist, most common is prolonged heating with hydrochloric acid, [ 1] sometimes with an enzyme such as pancreatic protease to simulate the naturally occurring hydrolytic ...
Bodybuilding supplement. Bodybuilding supplements are dietary supplements commonly used by those involved in bodybuilding, weightlifting, mixed martial arts, and athletics for the purpose of facilitating an increase in lean body mass. Bodybuilding supplements may contain ingredients that are advertised to increase a person's muscle, body weight ...
Milk protein concentrate (MPC) is any type of concentrated milk product that contains 40–90% milk protein. The United States officially defines MPC as "any complete milk protein ( casein plus lactalbumin) concentrate that is 40 percent or more protein by weight." [citation needed] In addition to ultrafiltered milk products, the MPC ...
