Whey glycoproteins

Whey glycoproteins (CAS 84082-51-9), also referenced commercially as glycoproteins, bovine-whey, are bioactive proteins derived from bovine milk whey.

Where is Whey glycoproteins used?

• Food and sports nutrition: antioxidant activity, emulsion and protein-matrix stabilisation during processing and shelf life
• Pharmaceuticals: nutraceutical capsules and bioactive delivery systems needing controlled protein stability
• Biotechnology: reference materials and functional components in cell culture media and assay development
• Animal feed: supplements targeting immune support and gut health
• They carry carbohydrate chains that enhance functional stability in complex formulations.

Commercial specifications

• Some suppliers offer material aligned to USP protein reference standards
• Minimum order quantities and purity specifications vary by application tier; higher-purity fractions for specialised use
