Chapter synopsis: Whey is a co-product of cheese and casein manufacturing processes. Historically, whey was a waste product with associated challenges on disposal due to its high organic matter content and biological oxygen demand. However, with the emergence of fractionation technology, whey has gained recognition as a source of nutritional and bioactive compounds, particularly for its protein and peptide constituents. Findings from in vitro, animal and human studies demonstrate that whey in its various formats (concentrate, isolate, hydrolysate and individual proteins/ peptides) possess a range of beneficial bioactivities. This chapter summarizes the key studies that contributed to our current understanding of whey's health benefits.
