Abstract
Abstract A selected demineralized and partially delactosed whey is used as a substitute for nonfat dry milk in various food compositions. The selected whey has a predetermined ash to protein ratio of 0.01 to 0.3. Also, the selected whey can be combined with a modified starch to provide a satisfactory replacement for the nonfat dry milk constituent in baked goods.
