cold processed whey - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

how important is it that whey is cold processed? do all reputable brands cold process or just the ones that state it on the label? ive read that whey processed @ higher temperatures denatures amino acids & therefore lowers the overall quality of the protein

Not too sure but in biology we are told that the hydrogen bonds in amino
acids break at anything above 37degrees celcius - denaturing it..
So i guess anything below 37 is fine

cheers mate, but how do we know, what temp each brand processes at?

No idea to be honest..
Only way i can think of is to contact manufacterer, but thats
kinda complicated, i suppose going with tried and tested brands
is the best way to go.

Decent companies will state cold pressed on the product, which indictaes no heat was added i think. I wonder if they would tell you if you contacted them, try it and post results!

Saying that, i remember reading some olive pressing generating heat of nearly 200degrees potentially creating trans fats in cheap olive oils, dont know how similar this pressing is to that of proteins.

Stick to the brands that are tried and tested by people... and avoid the cheap and nasties and you wont go far wrong IMO
