1-6. (canceled)
A method for forming an instantized agglomerated whey protein product, the method comprising
- a. hydrating a whey protein component, wherein the whey protein component comprises at least about 80% whey peptides of 18.000 kDa or less, to produce a hydrated whey protein component;
- and
- b. adding the hydrated whey protein component to a fluid bed comprising at least one target protein comprising whey protein concentrate (WPC) or whey protein isolate (WPI), the hydrated whey protein component being added to the fluid bed at a controlled rate of addition to form at least one instantized agglomerate consisting essentially of whey the protein .
