Whey Permeate (dairy permeate) is a food-grade lactose-rich, low-protein dairy powder produced by ultrafiltration of whey, yielding the mineral-salt-lactose fraction.We supply bulk Whey Permeate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our Whey Permeate is widely used in bakery, confectionery, dry sauce mixes, sausage formulations and frozen dairy desserts. HS Code: 04049090
Whey Permeate is produced by ultrafiltration of sweet cheese whey, which retains whey proteins in the retentate and yields a lactose-mineral permeate that is then evaporated and spray dried.
With ≥76% lactose, 8–10% minerals and minimal protein/fat, it delivers mild dairy flavour, Maillard browning and cost-effective solids to countless food formulations.
