Each Of The Following: Whey

Whey is the liquid byproduct of cheesemaking. It is separated from the solid curds when milk is coagulated. Whey can be further processed into whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, or whey protein hydrolysate.

Whey is used to add protein, flavor, and texture to foods. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier. It is commonly found in baked goods, pasta dishes, sauces, and processed meats.

Whey is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of high-quality protein, which is important for muscle building and repair. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey and its components. Research on whey protein suggests potential benefits for satiety and blood sugar control, but more studies are needed.
