Whey solid

Whey solid is a dairy-based ingredient that comes from milk. When milk is processed to make cheese, whey is the liquid that separates from the curds. This liquid is then dried to form whey solid, which is commonly used in a variety of food products.

To make whey solid, the liquid whey leftover from cheese-making is heated and dried to remove the moisture, leaving behind a solid form. This process helps to concentrate the proteins and other nutrients present in whey, making it a valuable ingredient in the food industry.

Whey solid appears on food labels due to its various functions in food production. It is often used to improve the texture and moisture content of baked goods, enhance the protein content of nutrition bars and beverages, and can even be found in some soups and sauces to improve their creaminess. Additionally, whey solid can contribute to the pleasant taste and richness of certain foods like ice cream and chocolate.
