Dairy Ingredients

Important Nutritional Supplements and Ingredients

In earlier days, dairy ingredients were based on whey and whey derivatives as spin-offs of cheese and yogurt production. Since then, the technical evolution has revolutionized the possibilities for extracting dairy ingredients directly, so today dairy ingredients are not just a spin-off from whey and whey derivates.

Dairy ingredients contain many of the valuable components found in milk. Processed most recognizably as powdered or liquid nutritional and dietary supplements, a multitude of dairy-derived products also represent key additives and ingredients in a wide range of human snacks, beverages and infant formulas.
