Interpolymeric Complexes Formed Between Whey Proteins and Biopolymers: Delivery Systems of Bioactive Ingredients.

Whey proteins are obtained from dairy industry waste. Studies involving the analysis of the bioactive compounds in whey show health benefits, as it is an excellent source of indispensable amino acids. Milk whey contains principally β-lactoglobulin, α-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, and lactoferrin, proteins with innumerable functional and technological properties.
