Powdered milk is the result of evaporating milk water and turning milk into powder. Evaporation of tap water increases its shelf life and creates a suitable product for use in food and beverage industries.
There are 2 types of powdered milk:
non-fat powdered milk
whole milk powder
Whole milk powder is obtained by evaporating full-fat milk, and fat-free milk powder is obtained by evaporating skimmed milk. These products retain all the nutrients of milk and are used in the following industries:
Baking products such as bakery, cakes and cookies, biscuits and sweets
Infant and adult formula
Dairy, ice cream and dessert industries
Fast food
Meat products
snacks
Powdered milk contains 30% protein and 50% carbohydrates, which covers two important factors in sports nutrition. Skim milk powders have less calories and higher protein and have a higher nutritional value than other milk powders.
Skimmed milk powder is rich in calcium and is very useful for strengthening and growing bones.
