1. Whey Protein Isolate as potential filler for Blue Stock Eduard Hern àndez Balada ERRC Research Liaison Committee April 29 th , 2008
2. Main Goal To assess the feasibility of using Whey Protein Isolate , an abundant, inexpensive and readily available by-product of the cheese industry and gelatin , a byproduct of the meat industry rich in collagen, as alternatives to petroleum-based fillers. From US Dairy Export Council web site From GEA filtration web site Flow Diagrams of Whey Protein Isolate and Gelatin Production
