Added value to foods

Whey collected from cheese production is a valuable raw material for producing whey powder and value added products like whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI).

An advanced process technology is required to produce whey products like WPC and lactose powder. Whey products are used in a wide range of food products such as processed meat, sausages, health foods, beverages, confectionery. They bring increased nutritional value and improved texture to food products.

The quality and type of whey from cheese manufacture is different depending on the type of manufactured cheese and the control of the cheese process. Sweet whey is manufactured from hard and semi-hard cheeses, and acid whey is produced from cottage cheese and quark. Sweet whey is less acidic and has the highest quality.
