Skimmed Milk Powder is dried milk, stripped of most of its fat. It is a convenient alternative to liquid milk, ideal for the production of a wide range of food products. Thanks to its shelf life and versatility, Skimmed Milk Powder is an essential ingredient for the food, feed and other industries.
Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) is a free-flowing, homogeneous powder with a white, uniform color and the typical odor of pasteurized milk, without foreign flavors or aromas. It is a dairy product produced by evaporating fresh pasteurized skimmed cow’s milk using the spray-drying process.
Skimmed Milk Powder is water soluble and has a high degree of dispersion, making it easy to handle in industrial production and ensuring a smooth end product. Its foaming properties are also used to improve the texture of some products. In meat products, Skimmed Milk Powder also helps retain moisture and increase juiciness.
