Demineralised whey, in detail
Both human milk and cow’s milk contain a combination of casein and whey proteins. In human milk, this ratio is 40:60, whereas in cow’s milk, it is 80:20. Demineralised whey is a popular choice for infant milk manufacturers who want to achieve the desired 40:60 casein:whey ratio in their formula, while limiting the mineral content in a formulation.
Adding proteins with low mineral content at the start of the formulation process makes it easy to optimise a formulation’s mineral profile at a later stage, when minerals can be introduced in precise amounts. Not to mention, demineralised whey also contains lactose, which means there’s no need to add lactose separately.
