👉 Dairy fluid, often referred to as whey or milk solids depending on the context, is a byproduct of cheese production that remains after the curd has been separated from the liquid whey. It is a nutrient-rich liquid composed primarily of water, lactose (milk sugar), proteins, and various minerals. Whey can be further processed into different forms such as whey protein concentrate or isolate, which are popular in sports nutrition due to their high protein content and digestibility. Dairy fluid also contains bioactive peptides, vitamins, and minerals, making it a valuable component in both food and health industries.
