In this chapter, we explore the physicochemical composition of whey from bovinemilk, the most representative technologies used for the production of added-value products and bioactive compounds or biomolecules from industrialization of whey such aswhey protein fractions, peptides, and oligosaccharides, beneficial properties and foodapplications of these products. In addition, the use of whey as the encapsulating materialof bioactive compound-loaded liposomes, and the presence of bacteriophages in wheyderived products, are also discussed.
