Whey

Whey is a common ingredient found in many food products, especially in dairy items like milk and cheese. It is a by-product of the cheese-making process and is the liquid that remains after milk has been curdled and strained. Whey is rich in protein and contains essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin B.

To make whey, the liquid left over from curdled milk is separated and processed to remove impurities. It is then dried to form a powdered concentrate that can be easily added to a variety of food products. This process helps preserve the nutritional benefits of whey and makes it suitable for use in a wide range of foods.

Whey appears in food labels because it is a versatile ingredient that can enhance the flavour, texture, and nutritional content of many products. It is commonly used in protein bars, shakes, and yoghurts to boost their protein content. Whey can also be found in baked goods like bread and muffins to improve their texture and moisture. Its ability to blend well with other ingredients makes it a popular choice for food manufacturers looking to improve the overall quality of their products.
