Abstract: | "Lactose within whey can be fermented and distilled to produce a potable distilled spirit. The aim of this study was to determine if acid and sweet whey types can be fermented and distilled using similar processes and to investigate differences in volatile aroma compounds for the 2 distillates. Fermentation and distillation of the 2 whey types progressed in a similar manner, using Kluyveromyces marxianus for the initial fermentation and a glass still fitted with a Vigreux column for the subsequent distillation. Ethanol content of the wash (fermented whey) varied considerably following each fermentation and ranged from 1.2 and 2.0% (wt/wt) with no clear trend between acid and sweet whey samples. Volatile aroma compounds were extracted using headspace solid-phase microextraction and identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Acid and sweet whey distillates contained unique volatile aromatic compounds, and significant differences in compound peak areas were observed. These differences may have an effect upon the organoleptic qualities of spirits produced from whey; therefore, whey source may be an important factor when fermenting and distilling whey" |
