A production line for the ultra-filtration of whey was also installed to separate proteins for
refined whey products (whey protein additives for the food industry) and also a filter for reversed osmosis treatment of the permeate from ultra-filtration to concentrate the liquid for production of animal feed, which is sold as a by product (the cleaned water can then be disposed of in waste water systems and discharged to the environment).
The ingredients manufactured at Gooding currently include: Avonlac 134, a
whey protein concentrate with 34 %
refined edible lactose, Thermax, a heat stable
whey protein, Bioferri, a bioactive milk protein and TruCal, a powdered milk calcium
product that can also be put into capsules, drinks or bars.
