Our whey comes from our cheese and casein production. We only use whey from our productions, as this allows us to have control over the traceability and quality of our ingredients.
The demineralization step is performed on liquid whey. The step involves removing some of the minerals from the whey. To do this, we use a reverse osmosis process. Reverse osmosis is a very fine filtration system that will allow us to filter out the minerals present in the whey. We will be able to perform several levels of demineralization to obtain different types of products :
- 40-50% demineralized whey –> Food applications,
- 70% demineralized whey –> Food and infant applications,
- 90% demineralized whey — > Infant applications only.
At Epi Ingrédients, we offer for sale a 40% demineralized whey that is perfect for a chocolate confectionery application.
