Results for tag: "Reduced Lactose Whey"

Reduced lactose whey is a byproduct of cheese production, derived from the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained during the cheesemaking process. Whey contains lactose, proteins, and various minerals, and it can be processed to reduce its lactose content, yielding reduced lactose whey. This product caters to consumers who are lactose-intolerant or who prefer low-lactose diets, while still providing the nutritional benefits of whey. In the cheese industry, this creates an additional stream of revenue by adding value to what would otherwise be a waste product. Reduced lactose whey is utilized in various applications including sports nutrition products, dietary supplements, bakery products, confectionery, and dairy products, enhancing texture, flavor, and nutritional value. Its production involves techniques such as ultrafiltration, enzymatic hydrolysis, and membrane filtration to remove or break down lactose.
