CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED
Whey is currently bleached using a dry benzoyl peroxide bleaching agent (DBP), which is inconvenient to use as it requires mixing with water before use. It is dusty and therefore poses an inhalation risk to employees. It also needs to be handled very carefully as it is highly flammable. Even the friction of a cart rolling over a dried puddle may spark a fire. DBP also contains high amounts of inorganic material leading to higher ash content in processed whey.
