Whey powders

Whey is a by-product of cheese, casein and milk protein concentrate production. There are three kinds of whey: standard whey powder, sweet whey powder and acid whey powder. The transformation of liquid whey into whey powder requires several steps: concentration, crystallization and drying. Lactose crystallization is a particularly essential step for whey drying as the non-crystalized lactose is very hygroscopic.

Forty years ago, LACTALIS Ingredients was a pioneer in developing a specific process of drying designed to better crystallize lactose. Today LACTALIS Ingredients is still a leader in this drying technique. Flowhey® by LACTALIS Ingredients is a range of free flowing whey powders that can enhance numerous applications, including: dairy products, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, bakery and pastries, and ice cream. LACTALIS Ingredients provides wide assortment of whey powders to best meet customers’ needs.
