The Use of Whey Powder to Improve Bread Quality: A Sustainable Solution for Utilizing Dairy By-Products

This paper aims to study the potential of whey, a by-product in the dairy industry, to be used as a sustainable and health-promoting ingredient in baking. In this regard, whey powder (WhF) was produced and incorporated into three composite flours consisting of wheat flour and whey powder in proportions of 5% (WhWF5), 10% (WhWF10), and 15% (WhWF15). These composite flours were then used to produce bread. The nutritional properties (proximate composition, macro and microelement content) and...
