dried milk

• dried milk is produced by evaporating the water in milk
• the milk is homogenised, heat treated and pre-concentrated before drying
• the concentrated milk is sprayed into a chamber of circulating hot air causing the droplets of milk to lose their water content and fall to the floor of the chamber as fine, dried milk powedrt
• dried milk powder can be stored at an ambient temperature for up to one year
• once it is reconstituted with water it can be used just like fresh milk
• dried skimmed milk powder mixes very easily with water, whereas dried whole milk powder tends to form small lumps when reconstituting
• reconstituted milk must be treated and stored like fresh milk
• dried milk has 0-3% fat content with less B vitamins than fresh milk
