NEW YORK — “Little Miss Muf-
fit sat on a tuff'et eating her curds
and whey.
Unfortunately, there aren’t
enough Miss Muffits to eat all the
whey American cheese factories
turn out every week, and the bitter
taste of the byproduct of cottage
cheese manufacture makes it un
palatable to the rest of us.
Whey is an excellent source of
protein, and sweet whey, the by
product of chedder cheese manufac
ture, is already used in dairy prod

Producers can’t throw it away.
The product has been classified as a
threat to the economy and
“environmental officials won’t let
you flush it down sewers or into
streams,” company president How
ard M. Dean Jr., said.
This leaves the cottage cheese in
dustry with up to eight billion
pounds of excess acid whey annually
and understandably, much effort
has been put into finding a use for it.
A recent Food and Drug Admin
istration decision to allow processed
whey as an ingredient in ice
cream—of which Dean is one of the
top ten producers — gave impetus
to the effort.

A new beef breed may be
most significant addition to
American cattle industry since
importation of Hereford cattle.
According to Bud and Kelly Les
ter of Lindale, Texas, the Mar
chigiana (Mar-key-jah-nah) breed is
revolutionizing the cattle industry.
The Lesters and four Marchigiana
animals (Markey as they are com
monly called) visited Texas A&M
University on special request from
Frank Litterst, manager of the beef
cattle center at Texas A&M Univer
sity. Litterst wanted to expose the
group of about 700 freshman animal
science students to this new exotic
breed. The Lesters gave mini
lectures to classes almost every two
hours per class day and allowed stu
dents to examine the stock through
out the past week. Litterst also
stated that other breeds would be
brought to Texas A&M in the future
for the same reasons.
“The Markey is the major beef
breed in Italy, said Kelly,'“and
ox er 1,500 years of selection have
gone into finding an animal with a
low feed and high yield capability.
Some of the outstanding qualities
that characterize the Markey breed,
said Kelly, are: high fertility, early
maturity,and high adaptabliiJ
heat and cold. This results in amf
cient beef animal with
temperament.
It took almost three years I

Kelly, after quarantine perioi

the Lesters received their tirslll

Now Dean has developed a
method of conversion that it be
lieves will turn an environmental
nuisance into a nutritional profit-
maker and eventually could have
great significance for world nutri
tion.
The new process turns out a pro
tein concentrate from tire acid
whey. It has the consistency of con
densed milk and it could be carried
a step farther to make a powdered
concentrate. Both products would
be compatible for mingling with
other powdered milks, Muck said.
Dean expects to turn 250,000
pounds of acid whey daily into this
concentrate.
The firm will use it in making ice
cream and as a byproduct they will
get lactose for use in non-dairy cof
fee creamer compounds. Some of
the concentrate will be sold to other
producers.
