notable that human breast milk is actually 60% whey, compared to 20% in cow or
goat milk. As a result, it is a popular supplement among athletes and bodybuilders.
Whey protein is found in a lot of dairy products as well as energy bars and
powdered protein drinks, since it helps increase the rate at which your muscles
grow and aid in weight management. Packaged foods in international markets with
whey protein have whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate or
hydrolyzed whey protein in the ingredients list. Whey protein powder can also
be added as a supplement to several common foods like oatmeal and soup. Whey
protein contains the complete group of essential amino acids your body cannot
make. Studies show that Leucine present in whey is the most anabolic (growth
promoting) amino acid and it may also improve glucose tolerance, prevent fatty
liver and reduce tissue inflammation due to obesity. Another essential amino acid,
Cysteine can help boost levels of the cellular antioxidant Glutathione. Whey
proteins in general are believed to enhance the bodys antioxidant defense, reduce
inflammation and lower blood pressure.
At the end of the day, whey protein is an exceptionally healthy way to add
more protein to your diet. It is a quality protein source that is absorbed and utilized
efficiently by the human body. This is particularly important for athletes, body
builders or people who need to gain muscle mass and strength, while losing fat.
When it comes to muscle gain and fat loss, protein is the king of nutrients and
whey protein seems to be even better than other forms of quality protein.
Cows milk and goats milk protein are both comprised of around 80%
casein milk protein and 20% whey protein. Because goats eat the same thing year
round, the fatty acid content remains consistent. On the other hand, cows often
feed on different grains depending on the season creating variations in this area.
Although the nutritional value of cow's milk and goat's milk are similar, the
supplementary quantity of whey proteins could have a greater health benefit.
Cholesterol level is on the higher side in cows milk, and goats milk has more of
vitamins A, B6 and vitamin D and also more potassium, manganese, chloride, and
copper. The calcium contents are almost the same. Levels of vitamin B12 and zinc
are generally a bit lower in goats milk. The higher potassium content contributes
to maintaining low blood pressure, essential in avoiding strokes and heart attacks.

Spectrophotometre
Spectrophotometer is an instrument commonly used in chemistry and
biology laboratories. It works on the principle of spectrophotometry, and is used
for the measurement of intensity of coloured and colourless solutions. Basically it
measures the absorbance or optical density of solutions used in them and this
information is used for the mathematical calculation of the concentration of that
substance in the given solution. Spectrophotometer thus can be used for the
quantitative analysis of dissolved substances in solutions.
milk
Warm the milk. The milk will coagulate
Filter the coagulated (solidified) milk
The liquid filterate obtained is whey
The procedure is repeated for all experimental samples of milk
Quantitative estimation of whey protein is done using biuret method
