Description

Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) is a dairy product produced by evaporating pasteurized skimmed cow’s milk. It retains the essential components of fresh milk such as lactose, milk proteins, and minerals but without the fat content. SMP is widely used in various food applications due to its versatility and long shelf life. It is commonly available in the following forms based on heat treatment during processing: 

1. High-heat SMP: This type has the least solubility and is suitable for applications where a higher heat treatment is required.  
2. Medium-heat SMP: This variety has moderate solubility and can be used in a wide range of food products.  
3. Low-heat SMP: This type is the most soluble and is preferred for applications where minimal heat treatment is desired to preserve the flavor and nutritional properties of the milk powder. 

In addition, Spray-dried Skim Milk Powder is available in two main forms: 

1. Ordinary or Non-agglomerated (Non-instant) SMP: This type of SMP is in a fine powder form and requires more effort to dissolve compared to agglomerated SMP. 
2. Agglomerated (Instant) SMP: This variety has been processed to form larger, more easily soluble granules, making it quicker to dissolve in liquid and ideal for instant applications. 

The versatility and functionality of Skimmed Milk Powder make it a valuable ingredient in various food products, providing nutrition, flavor enhancement, and texture improvement.
