Whey Utilization

  • Chapter

Abstract

The United States of America produces about 5.8 billion pounds (2.6 million tonnes) of acid whey and 45.1 billion pounds (20.5 million tonnes) of sweet whey annually (Clark, 1987). There has been a steady increase in the production of whey powder and lactose over the past three years. Trends in the production of concentrated whey, whey protein concentrate, reduced lactose/reduced mineral whey and whey blends are variable for this period. Current Australian and New Zealand whey production is about 3634 and 5874 million pounds (1.65 million and 2.67 million tonnes), respectively (Zadow, 1987). On the world scene, the current estimate of whey production amounts to about 224 billion pounds (102 million tonnes) (Hoogstraten, 1987).
