LIFE for Acid Whey

Waste whey is a high burden for the environment!

A release of 2500 litres of whey into the sewer system represents the same water load as 1000 people.

Whey contains many high-value nutrients!

In addition to fats, lactose and mineral substances, whey contains proteins with high nutritional and functional value, like enhancement of immune resistance.

Innovative whey processing offer new opportunity!

Separation with monolith chromatography allows extraction of separate proteins with a high degree of purity and biological activity.
