Skimmed Milk Powder is a dairy ingredient made by removing fat and water from milk, leaving the protein, lactose and minerals behind. In food and beverage production it binds water, adds body and carries dairy flavour, and it stabilises emulsions in products such as recombined milk, baked goods, confectionery and processed meats. It falls under the Dairy category and is covered by Reg. 853/2004 and Reg. 37/2010.
Manufacturers use it where a dry, shelf-stable dairy solids source is practical, including bakery, confectionery, sauces and dry blends. It is a fine powder that dissolves readily in water, though it can clump if added too quickly, so dry blending with other powders or dispersion in warm water works better. Keep it cool and dry and away from strong odours, as the powder picks up moisture and taints easily.
