Milk powder
Milk Powder
Milk powder (pronunciation: /mɪlk paʊdər/), also known as dried milk, is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness.
Etymology
The term "milk powder" is derived from the English words "milk" and "powder". "Milk" comes from the Old English word "meoluc", and "powder" comes from the Latin word "pulvis", which means dust.
Production
Milk powder is produced by removing water from liquid milk through a process of evaporation and spray drying. This process helps to increase the shelf life of milk, making it a popular choice for use in recipes and products that require a longer storage life.
Types
There are several types of milk powder, including whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, and buttermilk powder. Each type has different uses and nutritional profiles.
- Whole milk powder is made from whole milk and contains all the nutrients found in fresh milk.
- Skimmed milk powder is made from skimmed milk and has a lower fat content than whole milk powder.
- Buttermilk powder is made from buttermilk and is often used in baking and cooking.
Uses
Milk powder is used in a variety of food products, including baked goods, chocolate, and infant formula. It is also used in the production of condensed milk and evaporated milk.
Health Benefits
Milk powder has the same nutritional benefits as fresh milk, including high levels of calcium, protein, and vitamin D. It is also a good source of vitamin A and vitamin B12.
