The whey powder is mainly used in baked goods (caramelization / browning reaction / Maillard reaction), dry mixes, frozen desserts, sauces, emulsified meats, salad dressings, confectionery, sauces roast juice, snack foods and drinks.

The lactose is also used in the manufacture of beer, to soften the taste. In fact, this non-fermentable sugar adds body and a sweeter touch to beer (eg milk stouts).

The whey proteins (or lactose powder) have useful functional properties related to solubility, foaming, emulsification and gelation. It is used in molecular cooking to create crystalline textures similar to sugar, but unsweetened.
