Sour Whey Powder (AWP)

Sour whey powder (acidic method) is a by-product of cream cheese production, as it is the result of acidification of milk. During microbial fermentation, the milk’s pH decreases and yields fresh, sweet cheese. The whey is then turned into powder using a spray dryer. Following the Iranian national standard, the titratable acidity of dry sour whey, expressed as lactic acid, is a minimum of 0.35%. Derived from sour whey, this powder contains significant amounts of lactose, protein, and minerals. Ramak’s sour whey powder is produced through the spray drying process, which contributes to the conversion of lactose into lactic acid. The lactose content in sour whey is lower compared to sweet whey powder. It also has higher acidity and, of course, a more pronounced acidic taste.
