Milk Permeate

Milk Permeate is a versatile ingredient with a rich nutritional profile and functional properties, ideal for feed, food, and industrial applications. In animal feed, it boosts nutritional value and texture, supporting livestock health. In food production, it enhances taste, texture, and stability in dairy, bakery, and confectionery products. Its crystallizing and emulsifying properties also make it valuable for improving efficiency and quality in industrial processes, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution across sectors.

Milk Permeate comes in the form of a free-flowing powder with a white creamy color. It is a by-product of the production of Milk Protein Concentrate. It is obtained after the ultrafiltration process of milk, during which protein and fat are extracted. The final product is obtained by the spray drying technology.

Milk Permeate is characterized by high content of vitamins, minerals and lactose. It also has water-binding, crystallizing and emulsifying properties as well as eliminating sweetness. Milk Permeate is an excellent bulking agent. It is also an important ingredient in the Maillard reaction, which allows flavor enhancement and caramelization.

The storage period of Milk Permeate is 12 months. It should be kept in a cool, dry place with a maximum temperature below 25 °C and relative humidity of less than 65%.
