With our comprehensive testing services, you can ensure that your acid whey powder meets FSSAI safety and quality standards. We analyze key parameters, including fat content, SNF, microbial load, adulterants, and contaminants, to ensure compliance and consumer safety.
Acid Whey Powder is obtained by spray-drying acid whey, the liquid by-product resulting from the coagulation of milk using food-grade acids (e.g., lactic or citric acid) during the production of cheese like cottage cheese or paneer. Compared to sweet whey, acid whey powder contains lower protein and higher levels of lactic acid and minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus. It has a tangy flavor and is primarily used in animal feed, fermentation media, bakery products, and some specialized food formulations due to its functional and nutritional properties.
To ensure compositional compliance
Moisture ≤ 5%
Total ash (mineral content) within permissible range
Protein and lactose content as per standard specifications
To differentiate from sweet whey powder
Check pH levels, titratable acidity, and lactic acid content
Confirm absence of rennet or enzyme-based coagulation markers
To detect adulteration
Presence of added sugars, non-dairy fillers, starch, detergent, or urea
To ensure microbiological safety
Absence of pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and E. coli
Control of total plate count, coliforms, yeast, and mold
To analyze chemical contaminants
Presence of pesticide residues, antibiotics, aflatoxins, and heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)
To assess functional and physical properties
Solubility, flowability, and reconstitution in liquid systems
Browning tendency during heating due to lactose and acidity
To verify labeling and nutrient claims
Fat, protein, ash, and carbohydrate declarations
Usage recommendations and regulatory classifications
To perform shelf-life and packaging stability testing
Resistance to moisture uptake, clumping, and off-odors under storage conditions
