Milk syrup
Milk syrup is produced as a by-product after cutting cow's milk. It can be obtained in the production process of confectionery and maturing cheeses, where it is obtained with sweetness. In the manufacture process of hard cheese, the byproduct is acidic syrup. It consists of proteins, lactose, minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, and vitamins of group B (B2, B12, B1, B6 and B5).
What's the use of milk syrup?
Serum is a rich source of very good quality protein. It is by far the most nutritious of the three macronutrients. However, not all proteins have the same effect on the feeling of satiety. Serum protein appears to be more saturated than other proteins such as casein or soybean protein. These properties make the protein supplements derived from serum particularly useful for people on a reduction diet.
What do you do with the syrup?
Serum protein is one of the best-known supplements in the world and is not without reason used by athletes as a dietary supplement in combination with other types of protein. If it also has a very high nutritional value and scientific studies have shown it to have numerous health benefits. Serum proteins are a complete, high-quality protein, containing all the essential amino acids. In addition, it is very light-weight, easily absorbed from the intestinal tract in conjunction with other protein needs. These traits also make it one of its best available sources of protein in the diet.
