Permeate Powder

Permeate powders are manufactured from the solution that is separated from sweet whey during membrane filtration.

The solution contains lactose and minerals. It can be evaporated and spray dried to produce a permeate powder. A non-caking powder is produced by crystallizing the lactose before spray drying.
