One Low- and one High-Heat NDM sample (250 grams each) are only used for the purposes of plotting standard curves (usually 12 curves in one set) in determining the undenatured whey protein nitrogen (WPN) by the modified Harland-Ashworth Method.One Low- and one High-Heat NDM sample are only used for the purposes of plotting standard curves in determining the undenatured whey protein nitrogen (WPN) by the modified Harland-Ashworth Method.

Methods of analyses needed to accurately determine product composition, measure quality, and ascertain compliance with grade standards, have been reviewed and approved by an Institute Committee of technical experts, and are compiled in this publication. As new whey products and improved analytical methods for the testing of all whey products continue to be developed, this publication will be updated to assist in maintaining uniformity within the industry.

Dry Milk Section: This 2011 compilation of condensed and dry milks utilization represents the 64th annual industry-wide survey of end-users. The Census, participated in by American Dairy Products Institute members, other cooperating processors and distributors, reflects approximately 88% of the total domestic distribution. This data is intended to indicate market patterns and serve as a guide in directing promotional efforts to continue the expansion of commercial markets.

Whey Product Section: This 2011 compilation of whey products utilization represents the 37th annual industry-wide survey of end-uses for whey products. The Census, participated in by American Dairy Products Institute members, other cooperating processors and resellers, reflects approximately 94% of the USDA-reported whey solids processed during 2009. With such comprehensive industry coverage, projections have been made from the Census data to the total industry. This data is intended to indicate market patterns and serve as a guide in directing promotional efforts to continue the expansion of commercial markets.
