is it possible to increase the solubility of whey protein
mix by adding alkali? (similar to dutch process cocoa

Whey is a waste product of cheese manufacture. Until fairly
recently sanitary disposal of whey was a serious problem
for cheese factories, but markets were eventually developed
that made it economic to dry the stuff and sell it as a
filler in processed foods and more recently as a magic
potion for body builders.

Not-fat dry milk is whey plus all the protein, vitamins and
other nutrients (other than fat) that would have gone into
the cheese. You can buy it at the supermarket for about a
tenth the cost of magic potion whey powder at the magic
potion supplement store. One major difference is the milk
powder usually has pictures of liquid milk and sometimes
(shudder) children enjoying the product, while the whey
protein supplement has pictures of men with such grotesquely
bulging muscles that any woman would be afraid of having her
ribs broken by a hug from such a deformed monster.

Oh, non-fat instant milk powder is very easy to dissolve in
water, too.

Btw, alkali processing of cocoa increases solubility by
converting the fat to soap (saponification). While the
solubility of proteins depends on pH, milk is more or less
neutral, and whey proteins are what's left after the other
milk proteins are precipitated by acidity and the action
of rennets.
