'''Powdered milk''', also known as '''dried milk''', is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating [[milk]] to dryness. One purpose of drying milk is to preserve it; milk powder has a far longer shelf life than liquid milk and does not need to be refrigerated.

==History==
The first modern production process for dried milk was invented by the Russian doctor [[Osip Krichevsky]] in 1802. The process was later commercialized by the Swiss company [[Nestlé]] and the American company [[Borden]].

==Production==
The process of making powdered milk involves removing all the water from the milk. This can be done through a process called spray drying where the milk is sprayed into a heated chamber where the water evaporates. The dry particles are then collected and packaged.

==Uses==
Powdered milk is frequently used in the manufacture of infant formula, confectionery such as chocolate and caramel candy, and in recipes for baked goods where adding liquid milk would render the product too thin. It is also used in many developing countries because of its long shelf life and ease of transportation and storage.

==Nutrition==
Powdered milk has the same nutritional composition as milk, but the process of drying can cause it to lose some vitamins and minerals. Some brands of powdered milk are fortified with additional nutrients to compensate for this loss.
