Description

Full cream milk powder (26%) is a dairy product obtained by spray drying pasteurised cow’s milk with added cream. It is a free-flowing, homogeneous powder with a creamy white colour and a natural milky aroma. It has a mild taste typical of pasteurised milk, without any foreign flavours or impurities.

FCMP is characterised by a high fat and protein content, which makes it a valuable ingredient in many industrial applications. This powder is widely used in the food industry, particularly in the production of chocolate, ice cream, dairy products and bakery products, as well as a base for milk drinks and instant products.

Application

Whole milk powder is used in the production of chocolate, desserts, ice cream, baked goods, sauces and dairy products. It is also widely used in instant recipes, beverages and functional foods, where it increases nutritional value and gives products a full, milky taste. Thanks to its high protein and fat content, whole milk powder serves not only as a flavouring ingredient, but also as a fat carrier and structure stabiliser. Whole milk powder is valued for its versatility, durability and high technological quality.

In animal nutrition, feed-grade whole milk powder is a valuable source of easily digestible energy and protein, especially for young animals such as calves, lambs and piglets. Thanks to the presence of natural milk fat, it improves the palatability of feed, supports the development of the digestive system and promotes proper growth. In milk replacers, it acts as an energy and protein component that has a positive effect on the condition and health of animals during periods of peak nutritional demand.

Storage

The storage period of Full Cream Milk Powder is about 12-18 months. The product should be stored at a maximum temperature of 25°C and relative humidity of less than 75%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between full cream milk powder and regular milk?
Full cream milk powder retains many of the key nutrients found in liquid milk - including protein, fat, calcium, and fat-soluble vitamins such as A and D. The drying process concentrates these nutrients into a powder form, making it a convenient source of milk-derived nutrients.
How is full cream milk powder made?
FCMP is produced by removing almost all of the water from fresh, pasteurized whole milk through evaporation and spray drying. This preserves the natural composition of the milk and transforms it into a stable powder with a long shelf life.
What are the typical uses of full cream milk powder in food production?
Full cream milk powder is used in many products, including baked goods, chocolates, confectionery, ice cream, powdered beverages, and milk-based sauces, where it improves taste, texture, and nutritional value.
Is whole milk powder suitable for all food applications?
Yes. Its fat and protein content make it suitable for both beverages and recipes where a rich texture, mouthfeel, or emulsion stability is desired, such as desserts, sauces, and milk-based food products.
Where to buy FCMP?
FCMP can be purchased through the FDCM platform, which offers raw materials and ingredients used in food, supplements, and animal feed.
