Since 1995, the U.S. Dairy Export Council has been committed todeveloping educational materials on U.S. dairy ingredients based oncurrent scientific research. This manual is an update of the first two editionsof “Reference Manual for U.S. Whey Products.” We have again attemptedto review the most current technical and scientific information availableon the characteristics, functions and benefits of whey-based ingredients.Many USDEC members, U.S. suppliers, processors, industry experts,consultants, researchers, Dairy Management Inc. and USDEC staff haveshared their knowledge and contributed their own resources to this newvolume, part of our effort to provide up-to-date information to potentialcustomers, educators, health professionals, food scientists and other interestedgroups. We hope this new edition will continue to be a useful resource onU.S. whey and lactose ingredients.Véronique LagrangeEditorU.S. Dairy Export Council2 Reference Manual for U.S. Whey and Lactose Products
