Whey, Reduced Minerals

Whey, Reduced Minerals, occurs as either a liquid or a dry product. It is the substance obtained by the removal of a portion of the minerals from whey. Reduced Minerals Whey is produced by physical separation techniques such as precipitation, filtration, ion exchange, or dialysis. The acidity of the Reduced Minerals Whey may be adjusted by the addition of safe and suitable pH-adjusting ingredients. The final product is pasteurized.

Whey proteins are known to increase immune response and maintain muscle mass (Phillips et ah, 2009). In one instance, when an immunosti-mulatory vitamin and mineral mixture developed at Tufts University Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging was blended with texturized WPI (TWPI) in an extruded snack bar, immunostimulatory effects were enhanced in young (< 5 months) and old (> 22 months) mice fed ad libitum for 5 weeks. The mineral mixture and TWPI improved T cell proliferation and reduced upregulated production of proinflammatory mediators in... 

It has been proven over the years that the effect of fouling can be lessened to some extent for the application of whey concentration by pretreating the feed streams for the ultrafilters. Whey contains many insoluble solids such as casein fines, lipoprotein complex, mineral precipitates, free fats and microorganisms. Clarification of these debris helps reduce fouling potential during ultrafiltration. In addition, it is quite evident that calcium phosphate minerals in whey are not stable and their precipitation in the membrane pores often results in flux decline. Demineralization of whey before ultrafiltration helps maintain high permeate flux considerably [Muir and Banks, 1985]. 

The interest in mineral fortification of milk for the production of milks with higher nutritional value is a challenge. This is because the introduction of minerals upsets the mineral-protein equilibria in milk which will affect their stability. Philippe et al. (2004) showed that supplementation of skim milk with calcium gluconate, calcium lactate, or calcium chloride (up to 16 mmole added Ca/kg) decreased the heat stability. The addition of MgCl2 or FeCla (at a level of 8 mmole/kg) also reduced the heat stability of casein micelles (Philippe et al., 2005). However, by manipulating the mineral equilibria of milk with the use of a combination of soluble calcium salts and orthophosphates, it is possible to produce milks (with up to 20 mmole added Ca/kg) that are stable to heating (Williams et al., 2005). O Kennedy et al. (2001) showed that denatured whey proteins could be used as a carrier for calcium phosphate and further that adequate heat stability at 130 °C of whey protein-calcium phosphate suspensions could be achieved by appropriate adjustment of pH. 

Modified milks with low protein content, especially those based on demineralised whey, may not contain sufficient zinc, copper and other trace metals, since many trace elements are bound to the protein and are also removed during whey demineralisation, whose purpose is to reduce the excess of sodium and potassium. Supplements of trace elements are frequently poorly absorbed Trace mineral deficiencies may result from otherwise desirable modifications to milk for infant formulae. Pre-term infants are at greatest risk of deficiency, as they have inadequate stores laid down at the time of birth. Human milk provides the safest utilisable source of trace minerals, though preterm infants may require additional supplies.
