Maitoproteiiniin

Maitoproteiiniin refers to the protein content found in milk. Milk is a rich source of various proteins, primarily divided into two main categories: casein and whey. Casein constitutes approximately 80% of the total protein in milk, existing as micelles that provide a slow and sustained release of amino acids. Whey proteins, on the other hand, make up the remaining 20% and are a faster-digesting group of proteins, including beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and immunoglobulins.

These proteins are highly valued for their complete amino acid profile, meaning they contain all the essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce on its own. This makes milk proteins an excellent dietary source for muscle repair, growth, and overall bodily functions. Due to their nutritional benefits and functional properties, milk proteins are widely used as ingredients in various food products, including infant formulas, nutritional supplements, sports nutrition products, and processed foods. The extraction and processing of these proteins allow for their isolation into powders or concentrates, which are then incorporated into a wide array of consumer goods. The term "maitoproteiiniin" encompasses all these aspects of protein derived from milk.
