Dried acid whey
Dried acid whey is a pale, tart dairy powder from acidified milk whey, used in formulated foods or reconstituted and blended into dry mixes.
About Dried acid whey
Dried acid whey is the concentrated, dried residue of whey separated during acidification of milk, such as in some cheese or cultured-dairy processes. It is usually a pale powder with a tart, dairy-like flavour, containing milk solids and lactose.
It is used as a food ingredient in formulated products and can be reconstituted or blended into dry mixes. Its composition differs from sweet whey powder because the source process and acidity affect the retained solids.
