Tag: Permeate

For every kilogram of cheese produced, approximately 9 to 10 liters of whey are generated, making it a major byproduct of the dairy industry. This liquid, once considered an ecological waste problem, is now a highly valuable resource and the source of numerous commercially important products.

Permeate, also known as dairy product solids, is primarily composed of lactose and minerals, created by using physical separation techniques like ultrafiltration to remove protein and other solids from milk or whey. It is a versatile and economical dairy ingredient used in a wide range of food and beverage applications.
