Summary of The ‘LIFE-Valorlact’ project is developing new food prototypes using whey from cheese-making dairies
AZTI's Food Research Unit developed food prototypes from whey, a cheese-making byproduct often treated as waste. The 'LIFE-Valorlact' project aims to create commercial outlets for this organic material, preventing pollution caused by improper disposal and turning a waste product into valuable food items.
Parts used in the LIFE-Valorlact project:
- Whey produced by cheese-making dairies
- Food prototypes
- Organic product
AZTI’s Food Research Unit has managed to obtain a series of food prototypes using whey produced by cheese-making dairies, which allows a commercial outlet to be provided for an organic product that is routinely treated as waste and which could end up causing pollution if it is not properly disposed of.
