Demineralised whey is an ingredient produced by demineralisation of cheese whey. It is used in infant milk formula to improve the casein:whey ratio of cow’s milk, while limiting mineral contribution. Reducing mineral content enables a greater flexibility in formulations – for better control and accuracy. Demineralised whey also contains lactose, reducing the need to add this as a single ingredient later in the production process.

Demineralised whey contains proteins, which are crucial for building muscles and bones. Whey proteins provide essential amino acids, the so-called building blocks of protein, needed for the healthy growth and development of infants ¹¹¹Nutten, S. (2016).
