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.
