Utilisation of salty whey ultrafiltration permeate with electrodialysis

Permeate from cheese whey ultrafiltration is a source of milk oligosaccharides.

Previously undescribed oligosaccharides in bovine cheese whey permeate were characterized by a combination of nanoelectrospray Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (nESI-FTICR) mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (MALDI-FTICR) mass spectrometry. Oligosaccharide composition was elucidated by collision-induced dissociati...

Feasibility of Bioenergy Production from Ultrafiltration Whey Permeate Using the UASB Reactors

Energy concentration and phosphorus digestibility in whey powder, whey permeate, and low-ash whey permeate fed to weanling pigs.

Two experiments were conducted to determine DE and ME, the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P, and the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P in whey powder (3,646 kcal/kg), whey permeate (3,426 kcal/kg), and low-ash whey permeate (3,657 kcal/kg) fed to weanling pigs. The DE and ME in the 3 whey products were determined using 32 barrows (9.2 ± 0.4 kg of BW). A basal diet...

Ultrasonic Stimulation of Co-Immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells and β-Galactosidase Enzyme for Enhanced Ethanol Production from Whey Ultrafiltration Permeate

Low energy ultrasound irradiation (20 kHz, 1.0 W·L) was applied to enhance bioethanol production from whey ultrafiltration permeate by co-immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and β-galactosidese enzyme. Sugar utilization and ethanol formation were investigated as a function of hydraulic retention time (HRT) between 12 and 36 h. Maximum ethanol production under HRT of 36 h was 26.30 g·L wi...

Fermentation of lactose to ethanol in cheese whey permeate and concentrated permeate by engineered Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND Whey permeate is a lactose-rich effluent remaining after protein extraction from milk-resulting cheese whey, an abundant dairy waste. The lactose to ethanol fermentation can complete whey valorization chain by decreasing dairy waste polluting potential, due to its nutritional load, and producing a biofuel from renewable source at the same time. Wild type and engineered microorganisms...
