Lacto-serum (also called cheese whey powder) is a dairy by-product rich in lactose and minerals, obtained from the production of casein or fresh cheese. It offers a mild flavour and consistent quality, making it ideal for blending, solids standardization, and emulsification in processed foods. With its slightly lower protein content than sweet whey, it is particularly suited for use in dry mixes, coatings, and processed dairy applications, especially where flavour masking and browning are desired.

FAQs

In case you were wondering

Not exactly. While both contain lactose and minerals, lacto-serum is often produced during casein production and may have slightly lower protein and different mineral ratios

It's popular in pharmaceutical and adult nutrition as well as processed cheese, soup powders, and cost-sensitive formulations where flavour, solids, and function matter more than protein content.
