Description

Whey, the greenish translucent liquid that separates from the curd during cheese production, is a valuable byproduct rich in nutrients. Whey Powders are created through the drying of whey, resulting in a concentrated form that is a versatile ingredient in various food and feed applications. These powders are primarily composed of carbohydrates (such as lactose), proteins (including whey proteins like lactalbumins and globulins), minerals, and vitamins. Our company offers a selection of high-quality Whey Powders tailored for food and feed production, each serving specific purposes to meet the diverse needs of our customers: 

  • Sweet Whey Powder (SWP): Ideal for use in baking, dairy products, confectionery, and nutritional formulations. 
  • Acid Whey Powder (AWP): Suitable for various food applications and can also be used in animal feed. 
  • Demineralized Whey Powder (DWP): Processed to reduce mineral content, making it suitable for specialized dietary and nutritional requirements. 
  • Fat Filled Sweet Whey Powder (FFSWP): Enriched with vegetable fats to enhance functionality and mouthfeel in food applications. 

Our range of Whey Powders is designed to enhance flavor, texture, and nutritional content, enabling food and feed manufacturers to create high-quality products that meet consumer demands and industry standards.
