The objective of this study was to characterize variation and interrelatedness among primary functional and compositional parameters of commercially available sweet whey powders. Samples representing different plants/processes and cheese types were assayed for foaming capacity, foam stability, pH, protein content, soluble protein, turbidity, color, particle size distribution, lipid, and moisture. Data were analyzed using principal component analysis. Foaming capacity and stability varied from 10 to 220% and 0.1 to 14 min, respectively. Protein content and solubility ranged from 8.5 to 17.6% and 3.7 to 14.1%, respectively. Lipid content of sweet whey powder varied from 0.03 to 2.00%. The two main functional properties, foaming and protein solubility, did not show significant correlation with each other. Foaming properties showed a positive correlation to particle size and L* or lightness value, and negative correlation to lipid content. Protein solubility showed positive correlation with protein content and negative correlation with turbidity of the sample. Foaming behavior, protein, and particle size attributes were the main variables responsible for grouping of samples. Sweet whey powders from the same dairy plants were grouped together. The direct or indirect significance of these relationships to processing is detailed in this study.

The amino acid (AA) content of multiple samples of various dairy powders was determined, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the differences in AA profiles attributable to distinct manufacturing processes. Products examined included whole milk powder (WMP), skim milk powder (SMP), cheese whey protein concentrate (WPC-C), lactic acid casein whey protein concentrate (WPC-L), high-fat whey protein concentrate (WPC-HF), hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate (WPH), whey protein isolate (WPI), and demineralized whey protein (D90). WMP and SMP exhibited broadly similar AA profiles, with minor differences likely due to the minimal milk fat protein content, which is nearly absent from SMP.

Background: The effectiveness of whey obtained by either enzyme (sweet) or acid treatment on wound healing remains unclear. This study investigated the effectiveness of camel and bovine whey prepared enzymatically (CSW and BSW) or by pH reduction (CAW and BAW). After removing the cream from milk, HCl or rennet was used to remove casein, resulting in acid or sweet whey, respectively, followed by lactose removal using dialysis.

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is consumed for its high protein content. The structure and biological functionality of whey proteins in WPC powders may be affected by the drying technique applied. However, the specific impact of spray drying and freeze drying on the overall protein profile of whey protein derived from sweet whey streams at scale is unknown.
