“…In order to minimize environmental impacts, different uses for this waste byproduct have been devised by the dairy industry as spreading the WP on land as a fertilizer and feeding it to farm animals (Beucler et al, 2004;Mokua and Choudhury, 2002;Olson, 2003). Use of whey and WP as a fermentation feedstock has long been of industrial interest for production of starters, or metabolites such as lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, ethanol, bacteriocins and single cell protein (Bogaert, 1997;Lamboley et al, 1997;Nicolas et al, 2004;Nykanen et al, 1998;Schepers et al, 2006;Silveira et al, 2005;Tyagi and Kluepfel, 1998). In addition, WP is used as a bio-preservative for fresh-cut vegetables (Martin-Diana et al, 2006;Nykanen et al, 1998).…”
