I am unsure what you trying to ask, but PM me if I misunderstood you...
Out of milk are two main ingredients used for several items: Whey--composed of several proteins--and of which, Casein is the main protein component...
Kelp and some mollusks provide--carageenen and xanthinin. Both of which are "thickeners" to many products like ice cream and whip cream.
Beef and some pigs provide--stearate, an oil used to add color and flavoring to a product. Also used in shampoos and conditioners as an emulsifying agent...
Manufacturer's use these items because the process is inexpensive, on-going and has always been that way--so basically, they are saying why change it??? With the exception of the kelp--used by Kelco and others
