Product type
Sweet whey powder is a byproduct of cheese production, made from the liquid whey that remains after the curd has been removed. It is typically spray-dried to create a fine powder, which retains a significant amount of protein, lactose, and minerals. This ingredient is widely used in food products due to its nutritional benefits and functional properties, such as emulsification and moisture retention.

When selecting sweet whey powder, buyers should consider the protein content, moisture levels, and fat content to ensure it meets their specific application needs. It's important to specify the desired solubility and any dietary requirements, such as lactose content. Certifications like food safety standards may also be relevant, depending on the end use. Buyers should request quotes based on their required quantities and delivery schedules.
