Sweet Whey Powder is a dairy-derived ingredient obtained from the liquid whey produced during cheese manufacturing (typically rennet-coagulated), followed by clarification and spray drying. It contains a balanced composition of lactose, whey proteins, and minerals, contributing to its characteristic mild, slightly sweet dairy flavor.
Due to its composition, sweet whey powder is widely utilized in formulations where flavor enhancement, solids contribution, and functional performance are required.
