is there pork or pig fat in whey?

Question

someone told me theres pork in whey

Answer 1

It is made from cow milk .... No pork or pig fat there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whey or milk plasma is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained; it is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses. Whey is used to produce ricotta and gjetost cheeses and many other products for human consumption. It is used as an additive in many processed foods, including breads, crackers and commercial pastry. In addition, whey is used as an animal feed. Whey proteins mainly consist of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin. Depending on the method of manufacture, it may also contain glycomacropeptides (GMP).

The whey protein separated from this mixture is often sold as a nutritional supplement. Such supplements are especially popular in the sport of bodybuilding. Liquid whey contains lactose, vitamins, and minerals along with traces of fat. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden discovered that whey appears to stimulate insulin release. Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [1] they also discovered that whey supplements can help regulate and reduce spikes in blood sugar levels among people with type 2 diabetes by increasing Insulin secretion.

Answer 3

There is not. Whey is a by product of milk. Hence curds and whey in the old miss muffett nursery rhyme. curds are bits of cheese and whey is a liquidy substance because it is seperated from the milk along with the curds. I don't think anyone uses pig milk to make cheese or whey. To put it another whey, NO WHEY is there pork in whey.

Answer 5

you seem to have got it all wrong or rather the 'someone 'who told you,whey is totally a dairy by-product,which has been put to many uses in cooking,baking ,cheese making & also as a refreshing drink,with a pinch of salt & a squeeze of lemon juice.It has found so many uses since it is rich in protein & other nutrients,when milk is curdled & then strained to get the solids,the liquid part is called whey,nothing more.

Answer 6

Both whey and casein proteins that are sold as supplements come from bovine milk. There are no pigs involved at any point.

Answer 7

I dont think its pig fat....its enzymes that may be from pigs that can be added to create whey.
Whey usually needs enzymes to curdle, enzymes used may be from an animal and that animal may be pig.

Answer 8

whey comes from milk, its the liquid part of milk. why would there be pork in whey?

Answer 9

Whey comes from milk. It is the milk serum, separating as liquid from the curd after coagulation, as in cheese making.

Answer 10

Whey is the creamy part of cottage cheese. The rest is the curds. Thus, curds and whey.
