Whey protein ingredients are used in a wide variety of products and are added primarily for nutritional benefits or functionality, not for flavor. However, the processes used to further refine fluid whey produce and encourage development of off-flavors that carry through to the final product. From the milk source to spray drying, each step contributes to the oxidation of lipids, which negatively affects flavor. An understanding of the sources of these flavor constituents and volatile compounds, as well as how they are formed during processing and handling, are important to eliminate or reduce undesirable flavors and for understanding how to best incorporate these ingredients into high-quality finished products.
