Demineralized whey powders are often sought for their low mineral content. Demineralization reduces excessively salty flavours in food application and limits minerals intake nutrition applications like infant formula. LACTALIS Ingredients offer a range of different demineralized whey powders from 20% to 90%. Depending on the demineralization rate targeted, we use a combined processes to remove minerals: ultra filtration, electrodialysis or ion exchange.

For food application, 20% to 50% demineralized whey powder are currently used as bulk agents with no risk of an over-salted taste. LACTALIS Ingredients suggests using 40% or 50% demineralized whey powder for chocolate, bakery or pastry applications. Its low caking and browning properties, and its free flowing properties are ideal characteristics for storage in wet and hot conditions. If needed, the powder can be Halal or Kosher certified.

For baby formula, both 70% and 90% demineralized whey powder can be used in first age, follow on, or growing up milk. Breast milk is composed of more than 50% lactose and approximately 5% whey protein. As our demineralized whey powder Laktodem® 70 to 90 is a source of lactose and whey protein, it can be used in infant milk formula.

Laktodem®‘s neutral dairy taste has no bitterness or off-flavor, making it more tolerable for babies.
