Enter the volume of milk available and follow its potential journey from cheese manufacture to whey-ingredient production. BasisOrigin estimates the cheddar cheese and liquid whey generated, then translates that whey into indicative whey powder, WPC34, WPC80 and WPI outputs.
Examples to show the shape of the answer. Type any volume and the model recalculates live.
- 5.63 tWhey powder
- 2.07 tWPC34 powder
- 0.57 tWPC80 powder
- 0.43 tWPI powder
This calculator uses simplified educational assumptions. Whey ingredient outputs represent alternative processing routes and are shown at 5% powder moisture. Yields are indicative only and may vary with whey composition, recovery, process design and operating conditions.
