Since it represents a quarter of the percentage of milk proteins, it aids rapid digestion and resists stomach acidity relatively well.
It then passes directly to the intestine, producing a rapid increase in the concentration of available amino acids in the blood.
Thus, sweet whey is a highly diluted by-product and the organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics will vary or depend on the whey (acid or sweet) or, similarly, on the processing by which the cheese was subjected.
A fact to take into account in the feeding of mammalian animals from which milk is obtained, be it cow, goat, buffalo, sheep, is that its quality will depend on the feeding, time of the year and the stage of lactation.
