Demineralized Whey Powder Ingredient Market set to expand and become organized during 2016-24

Whey, a by-product of the cheese manufacturing sector, is a rich source of protein. It also contains milk fat, but in minimal quantities. This whey collected thus contains a higher amount of water. To remove the excess water, the whey is concentrated and demineralized. Following this, it is spray-dried so as to obtain flowing powder. Whey protein can be of any one the three types: whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and whey protein hydrolysate.

The appearance of demineralized whey powder is yellowish and it is a free-flowing powder, which tastes like milk. It doesn’t have a discernible foreign odor. During the process of manufacturing cheese, numerous salts are added to milk. This makes whey a rich source of potassium, calcium, and phosphorous. However, the presence of these minerals makes whey unsuitable for use in infant food. As a result of this, infant and baby food formulas with demineralized whey are in demand. The production of demineralized whey powder entails the use of pasteurized and fresh whey, which is directly collected during cheese production.

A number of techniques are adopted in the demineralization process. These include: cross-flow nanofiltration, electro-dialysis, ion-exchange chromatography, and others. These processes primarily work by removing or reducing the volume of soluble minerals. In the production of infant formula, D90 and D70 whey variants are commonly used.

The grade allotted to demineralized whey is determined based on the percentage of minerals separated from the whey. It is imperative to store whey powder in a dry and cool place; special care needs to be taken to keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight so its chemical structure isn’t altered.
