FOOD CALCULATOR
Whey Protein Calculator
Calculate the usable protein content from cheese whey based on its total protein and ash content.
What is the Whey Protein Calculator & How does it work?
Cheese whey is a byproduct of cheese production that contains significant amounts of proteins, primarily casein. However, not all of this protein is digestible or usable by the body. The usable protein can be estimated using the formula that accounts for the ash content, which represents non-protein components.
The formula to calculate usable protein from cheese whey is:
Usable\ Protein = (Total\ Protein – Ash) \times 0.6
Usable Protein = Usable protein content in grams.
Total Protein = Total protein content in grams.
Ash = Ash content in grams.
Total Protein = Total protein content in grams.
Ash = Ash content in grams.
This formula assumes that the ash content represents non-protein components and that approximately 60% of the remaining protein is usable by the body.
