FAQs
Decalcification in dairy processing refers to the removal of calcium and other mineral ions from milk or whey streams. This process improves product quality, enhances heat stability, and supports downstream operations such as lactose crystallization and whey powder production. Decalcification is commonly achieved using ion exchange or membrane separation technologies.
Calcium removal is typically carried out using:
Ion exchange resins, which selectively remove calcium and magnesium ions
Nanofiltration (NF) membranes, which partially retain divalent ions while allowing lactose and water to pass
These processes reduce mineral content without significantly affecting nutritional components.
The commonly used decalcification methods in the dairy industry include:
- Ion exchange resin systems
- Nanofiltration membrane systems
- Electrodialysis
- Chemical precipitation (limited industrial use)
Membrane and ion-exchange-based processes are preferred for their scalability and continuous operation.
Whey demineralization
Discover the high-performance membrane and ion exchange technology created by Sanitech Engineers specifically for the demineralisation of whey. Whey from cheese, casein, or acid whey is converted into important goods like D90 (90% demineralised whey powder) & D70 (70% demineralised) using our sophisticated procedures. Outperform conventional techniques with increased productivity and better recovery yields. Our ground-breaking solutions guarantee peak performance, increasing the productivity and efficiency of the demineralisation process.
Utilise our cutting-edge technology to enhance your whey processing capabilities, producing value-added goods that satisfy contemporary market demands and yielding outstanding outcomes. To get the most out of your precious resources, put your trust in our experience.
FAQs
Demineralized whey is whey from which a significant portion of minerals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium has been removed. It is widely used in infant formula, bakery, and nutritional products, with typical grades including D40, D70, and D90, indicating the percentage of mineral removal.
Deproteinized whey is whey that has undergone ultrafiltration to remove most of the proteins. The resulting liquid is rich in lactose and minerals and is further processed into whey permeate, lactose, or fermentation feedstock.
Whey or Milk proteins concentrate (WPC / MPC)
Use the cutting-edge Membrane systems from Sanitech Engineers to find customised solutions for the manufacture of Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC). Our speciality is offering specialised solutions through the use of Reverse Osmosis (RO), Nano-filtration (NF), and Ultrafiltration (UF) technologies.
Our cutting-edge membrane systems guarantee accurate separation and purification of whey proteins from pre-concentration via Ultrafiltration to selective retention with Nanofiltration and final concentration with Reverse Osmosis, producing premium Whey Protein Concentrate that is customised to your unique needs. For outstanding protein concentrates that satisfy the exacting requirements of the food and nutrition sector, rely on Sanitech Engineers to optimise your whey protein concentrate production process, increasing yields.
FAQs
- Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) is produced from whey and contains primarily whey proteins.
- Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC) is produced directly from milk and contains both casein and whey proteins.
- MPC typically contains 40–90% protein, while WPC focuses mainly on whey protein fractions.
Yes. Whey protein concentrate is a dairy-derived ingredient, obtained from liquid whey generated during cheese production and concentrated using membrane filtration.
The choice depends on application:
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) offers higher protein purity and lower lactose content
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) is more economical and retains beneficial minor nutrients
Both are widely used in food, nutrition, and sports supplements.
Milk protein concentrate is a high-protein dairy ingredient containing both casein and whey proteins, produced by concentrating skim milk using membrane filtration. MPC is commonly used to enhance protein content in dairy foods and beverages.

FAQs
Whey permeate typically contains 70–85% lactose on a dry solids basis, as most proteins and fats have been removed through ultrafiltration. This makes whey permeate an ideal feedstock for lactose recovery.
Whey permeate is the liquid by-product remaining after whey proteins are removed. It contains lactose, minerals, and water.
Lactose is a purified dairy sugar crystallized and recovered from whey permeate.
Lactose recovery from Mother Liquor

FAQs
Mother liquor is the residual liquid left after lactose crystallization. It still contains lactose, minerals, and organic compounds. This stream can be further processed using membrane filtration or evaporation to recover additional lactose or utilized in applications such as animal feed or fermentation substrates.
