Dairy ingredient applications

Skim Milk Powder

A milk-based powder for commercial food manufacturing.

Feed Ingredients

Soybean Meal

A plant protein ingredient for commercial feed programs.

Dried Fruits

Strawberries

Bulk strawberries are sourced in fresh, frozen and processed forms, each with different handling and recipe characteristics. Specify the form, intended use and relevant quality criteria—especially frozen-fruit grade or dried-product analysis—to compare suitable offers.

Sweet Whey

Sweet whey is a cheese-making co-product sold as liquid, concentrate or powder. The form affects composition, receiving and storage, while its lactose, protein, fat and minerals support food manufacturing and selected feed uses.

Whey Powder

Whey powder is a dried dairy ingredient used in food manufacturing and animal feed. Sweet and acid whey, and ordinary powder versus further-processed whey products, differ in composition and function—so match the product identity and lot analysis to the application.

Feed Ingredients

Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey protein concentrate is a membrane-concentrated dairy powder used in a range of food formulations. Compare WPC grades by protein basis and the accompanying lactose, fat, ash and moisture analysis, then match functional requirements to the intended recipe and process.

Whey Protein Concentrate 70/80

Whey protein concentrate 70/80 is a powdered dairy protein ingredient used in food formulations. Compare the grade, analytical basis and functional data to match the powder to your recipe and processing conditions.

Whey Protein Isolate 90

Whey protein isolate 90 is a dried whey-derived protein ingredient used in food formulations for protein supplementation and functional roles such as gelation, whipping, water binding and emulsification. Compare the protein basis, powder form and any additives against the needs of your process.

Whole Milk Powder

Whole milk powder is a concentrated dairy ingredient used in bakery, confectionery, dry mixes, sauces and beverages. Compare regular and instantized forms, composition and reconstitution properties to match the powder to your food process.

FIELD GUIDE01Dairy ingredient applications

Milk powders and whey ingredients serve different roles

Skim Milk Powder and Whole Milk Powder are dried milk ingredients, but their composition differs: whole milk powder retains milk fat, while skim milk powder is lower in fat. Buyers should confirm exact identity and composition, since skim milk powder and U.S. nonfat dry milk are not always interchangeable terms.

Sweet Whey and Whey Powder are less concentrated dairy ingredients than whey protein concentrates and isolate. Whey Protein Concentrate 70/80 and Whey Protein Isolate 90 are protein-enriched options; the stated grade alone does not settle protein basis, solubility or performance in a particular process.

Match the ingredient to the process

Milk powders are used in products such as reconstituted milk, frozen desserts, bakery and confectionery applications. Whey proteins can contribute solubility, foaming or gelation, but heat treatment and pH affect their behavior. Compare specifications against the intended product and processing conditions, not protein percentage alone.

Recognize the collection’s different use contexts

This collection also includes Soybean Meal and Strawberries, which are not dairy ingredients. Soybean meal is a plant-protein feed ingredient used in dairy-cattle ration formulation, not a substitute for food-grade milk or whey powders. The listing name does not establish the form or role of strawberries; confirm whether the intended product is fresh, frozen, dried or otherwise processed.

Common questions.

How do whey powder and whey protein concentrate differ?+

Whey powder retains the composition of the original whey in dried form. Whey protein concentrate is processed to enrich protein, so compare its protein basis and other specification values with the intended use.

What should I clarify when sourcing skim milk powder?+

Confirm whether the required product is skim milk powder or nonfat dry milk, and check its composition and constituent-adjustment details against your specification.

Does a higher whey protein grade guarantee better processing performance?+

No. Protein percentage alone does not establish solubility, heat stability or texture. Review process conditions such as pH and heat treatment alongside product-specific technical information.

Are soybean meal and strawberries dairy ingredients?+

No. Soybean meal is a plant-protein feed ingredient, while strawberries are fruit. Neither is interchangeable with milk or whey ingredients.
