Whey is obtained as a by-product of cheese that is rich in protein and contains less milk fat. Demineralized whey is a yellowish free flowing powder that tastes like milk. During production of cheese, various salts are added to milk, making whey a rich source of calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.
However, these minerals are unsuitable for infant food, and thus infant food formulations demand demineralized whey protein ingredients. A variety of techniques are utilized in demineralization procedure such as nanofiltration, ion exchange chromatography, electro-dialysis, and others. Whey variants D90 and D70 are commonly utilized in infant food.
