Abstract

Cheese production in the United States exceeds
2.5 x 10^6 tons (23 x 10^6 metric tons) per year. Each
ton of cheese requires the use of about 10 tons of
milk and produces about 9 tons of whey as a byproduct.
The result is a total annual production of
more than 5.3 x 10^9 gal (2 x 10^10 liters) of whey.
Whey comprises the water, milk proteins, milk sugars,
and nutrients remaining after the butterfat and
proteins are removed during cheese manufacturing.
