Description

Fat-free milk powder is a product obtained from pasteurized cow’s milk through a spray drying process. It is distinguished by its light, uniform color ranging from white to cream, and its clean taste and aroma, typical of fresh milk. The product is a loose, free-flowing powder that may contain small, easily dispersible lumps.

Skimmed milk powder is characterized by low fat content, storage stability, and good solubility in water. Thanks to these characteristics, fat-free milk powder is used in various industrial applications, both in food and technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the functional properties of skimmed milk powder in industrial applications?
SMP has good water-binding properties, improves the structure and texture of the product, and affects the stability of the emulsion. It is used to increase the dry milk content without raising the fat level.
In which segments of the food industry is SMP most commonly used?
Skimmed milk powder is used in the production of bakery products, yogurts, milk desserts, ice cream, chocolate, confectionery, and in milk mixes and beverages.
How does SMP affect technological parameters in baking?
In bakery products, SMP can improve the color of the crust, the structure of the crumb, and the ability to retain moisture. It also affects the nutritional value by increasing the protein content.
Can skimmed milk powder be used in reduced-fat products?
Yes. SMP allows for an increase in protein and milk solids content without adding additional fat, which is important in reduced-calorie formulations.
Where can I buy skimmed milk powder?
SMP can be purchased through the FDCM platform, which offers raw materials and ingredients used in food, supplements, and animal feed.
