Delvo®Whey
for Protein functionality and digestibility
Whey has evolved into a valuable ingredient stream with growing opportunities across food and beverage applications. But transforming whey into high-value ingredients requires overcoming challenges related to functionality, taste, appearance, lactose and nutritional content.
At dsm-firmenich, we help manufacturers transform whey streams into higher-value ingredients through solutions for protein hydrolysis, whey decolorization, lactose reduction and nutritional enhancement.
Our whey processing portfolio helps manufacturers overcome common challenges associated with bitterness, coloration, lactose content and nutritional optimization, unlocking new opportunities across food and beverage applications.

for Nutritional enhancement
Unlock the full potential of whey proteins.
A portfolio of proteases designed to improve protein functionality, digestibility and taste, enabling manufacturers to create high-quality whey protein hydrolysates in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
Key benefits:
Enzymatic solution for whey decolorization.
Cheddar whey and other color-containing whey streams often require bleaching before further processing. MaxiBright® offers a natural bleaching solution designed to remove annatto-derived color and create clean, white whey ingredients.
Key benefits
Lactases for lactose-free or sugar reduced whey.
Growing demand for lactose-free products creates new possibilities for whey utilization. The Maxilact® range enables manufacturers to create lactose-free or lactose-reduced whey ingredients while also supporting sugar reduction strategies.
In concentrated whey streams, Maxilact® can also support the production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), enabling additional value creation opportunities.
Key benefits
As consumer interest in functional nutrition continues to grow, whey offers an attractive platform for product innovation and market positioning. dsm-firmenich helps manufacturers enhance the nutritional value of whey ingredients and end-products with tailored nutritional solutions such as vitamins, minerals, premixes, and more.
