About Whey permeate

Whey permeate is the portion of whey that passes through a membrane during separation of whey components, leaving much of the whey protein behind. It is used as a food ingredient for flavour, solids, or formulation purposes. It may be sold as a dried powder or as a liquid, and its composition depends on the separation and drying processes.

Dried whey permeate is generally a pale, free-flowing powder with a dairy-like, mildly sweet or salty flavour; liquid forms are dilute and fluid. It is distinct from whey protein ingredients. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish liquid from dried material and account for mineral content, lactose, and the concentration of the product.
