Full cream milk powder

Milk powders and cream powder are milk products which can be obtained by the partial removal of water from milk or cream. Full cream milk powder is produced from fresh pasteurized milk which can be standardized to agreed customer specification. Full cream milk powder is obtained by removing moisture from fresh cow’s milk through vacuum evaporation. It is then spray-dried to get the fine powdered consistency and to preserve the nutrients naturally present in milk.

EU defines full cream milk powder is a milk in powder no sugar or other sweetening matters added. Fat content should be at minimum 28.0 %.

Production of milk powder consists of the processing steps like reception, clarification, cooling and storage, standardization, heat treatment, evaporation, homogenization, drying, and packaging.

The powder form of full cream milk retains all the qualities of the liquid milk but has a significantly extended shelf life.

The fat and/or protein content of the milk may have been adjusted, only to comply with the compositional requirements in Section 3 of Codex Standard, by the addition and/or withdrawal of milk constituents in such a way as not to alter the whey protein to casein ratio of the milk being adjusted.
