Promising technologies of milk whey processing

Whey protein concentrates production is considered to be one of the promising and rational ways of secondary milk raw materials processing. Application of non-traditional method to remove water from whey based on the vacuum thermoradiation method is offered. Infrared drying of food products is considered to be one of the up-to-date and efficient techniques in processing of food raw materials. Kinetics of vacuum infrared dewatering of whey has been investigated. Optimal parameters for whey treatment have been found. Developed method of milk whey concentrating has been further used for production of concentrated whey drinks enriched with biologically active substances from wild-growing raw materials. Technological scheme, recipe, physical and chemical properties as well as organoleptic characteristics of the «Vitaminnyi» drink are given.
