Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing industry. Whey is rich in protein and less in milk fat. This collected whey contains more water hence it is concentrated to remove excess water, demineralized, and then spray-dried to get free flowing powder. Whey protein is of three major types whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate. Demineralized whey powder is white to yellowish in colour, free flowing powder, with typical milk taste and free from foreign odor. While cheese processing various salts are added to milk, hence whey is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, potassium and others. These mineral are not suitable for infant food formulations. Hence, increasing demand for infant formula is driving the growth of demineralized whey powder ingredient. Demineralized whey powder ingredient is made from fresh, pasteurized whey, collected from cheese production.
Various techniques such as ion-exchange chromatography, electro-dialysis, cross-flow nanofiltration and others are used in demineralization of whey by removing/reducing soluble mineral, especially D90 and D70 variants are commonly used in the production of infant formula powder. The grades of demineralizes whey powders are based on the percent of mineral removed from whey. Whey powder have to store in cool and dry place and away from water and sunlight as its sensitive product.
