Introduction
Whey and protein retentate streams represent significant value in modern dairy processing, but their variability can make it difficult to consistently optimize recovery, concentration, and final product quality. Small measurement inaccuracies can lead to protein losses, inefficient drying, or off-spec products.
With the LactoScope 500, processors gain fast, reliable insight into protein, solids, and key compositional parameters across whey and retentate streams. Its advanced FT-IR technology, combined with built-in homogenization, ensures stable, repeatable results even in challenging, high-solids matrices.
By enabling tighter control of concentration and drying processes, producers can maximize protein recovery, improve consistency, and reduce energy usage, turning measurement accuracy into measurable gains in yield and efficiency.
