Background: Protein is an essential portion of food that exerts beneficial effects on body composition and metabolism. However, protein-rich foods are costly and scarcely available in developing countries, and protein deficiency is a significant public health concern. In this situation, searching for additional dietary protein sources is of utmost importance due to decreasing resources because of the growing global population. The current literature review is about whey protein as it is the cheapest, readily available protein source. Methods: Milk is formed of two proteins, casein and whey. Whey is different from the casein in milk and is formed as a by-product of the cheese-making process. Whey (the liquid left after milk curdling) was deemed a waste by the dairy industry for decades. However, it is the cheapest protein source for the poor growing populations in developing countries. Whey protein is a complete protein as it contains all nine essential amino acids. It is low in lactose content. Conclusion: Human body cannot make essential amino acids, so it is necessary to get enough of them from the diet. Due to the availability of carbohydrates, fat, immunoglobulins, lactose, and minerals, including essential amino acids in whey protein, it is necessary for human energy. There are many benefits related to whey protein consumption, such as muscle building and loss of fat. New possible therapeutic properties of whey protein have to be investigated further for the full utility to humans.

The quantities of nitrogen, protein, essential and nonessential amino acids reaching the abomasum of steers fed three different sources of supplemental nitrogen were estimated. When corn gluten meal (CGM) was the nitrogen supplement, more total nitrogen, protein, essential and nonessential amino acids reached the abomasum daily than were observed with distiller’s dried solubles (DDS) or soybean meal (SBM) supplements. Corn gluten meal resulted in significantly more total grams of abomasal isoleucine, leucine, methionine and phenylalanine reaching the abomasum. No differences were observed between DDS or SBM in total nitrogen, protein or essential amino acids reaching the abomasum. The molar percentage of plasma lysine was higher and threonine lower when CGM was fed than the values obtained when either DDS or SBM were fed. Lower plasma leucine and phenylalanine were observed when the DDS-supplemented ration was fed.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the acceptability of an alimentary supplement of bovine whey-protein concentrate (WPC) and TGF-β, unavailable commercially, by patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and determine the chemical composition, solubility, and total amino acids content. The supplement was diluted in water, and an acceptance test was done to evaluate the aroma, flavour, and viscosity of the product using facial hedonic scale (nine-point scale), applied on 54 CD patients. The supplement composition indicated 73.3% protein, 10.5% fat, 2.2% ash, 6.3% water, and 7.7% carbohydrate. The supplement is presented as a good protein source and high content of essential amino acids. The average acceptance for all the attributes was between 5.0 and 6.0, and the flavour was mainly associated with soybean/grain, sour milk, and sweet/vanilla flavour. The results indicated that the supplement provided important nutritional properties for CD patients; however, for a large number of individuals to be encouraged to perform supplementation, it is essential to improve the sensory quality of the product. In order to do so, additional research is necessary to prevent the formation of volatiles which cause off-flavours or to mask undesirable aromas/flavours found in it.

Whey protein is the number one supplement being used by body builders and athletes today to reach their fitness goals. Whey protein is gaining its popularity even if there are some myths regarding whey protein. Whey is a milk protein that has become extremely popular in recent years. One of the main reasons for its popularity is the fact that whey protein has been linked to muscle building and increased strength. Most body builders do associate real gains with whey protein supplements. Even though the benefits of using whey protein are pretty clear, there still exist some myths about this supplement. Whey protein is the best-selling product in sports nutrition. It sets the standards for other products in this category and is, therefore, worth examining. Whey protein supplements were once considered just an alternative for bodybuilders to help them get that ripped body. However, the scenario has changed over the years as more and more research shows that this is not only a useful supplement for those trying to shed unwanted fat in a shorter period, but also for your overall health, if you are already living a healthy lifestyle. Safety is the major concern of people when they look into the whey protein supplements. They want to know the possible adverse effects of this supplement, especially in relation to health issues. Whey protein supplements contain the same amino acids that are found in meat, including leucine, isoleucine and valine. Whey is a by-product of cheese that is extracted from milk. It’s kind of like candy to body builders since it provides body mass and muscle gain. It looks like slimy, white blobs. It tastes like chalk. And that’s just what’s left in the cup once you’ve scooped out the liquid gold that is whey protein. Keywords: Whey, Supplements, Protein, Myth.
