What is skimmed milk powder?

It is dehydrated cow's milk and deprived of its water. Dehydration occurs via heat at high temperatures.

When we talk about skimmed milk powder, we always think of powdered milk for babies. There are two different types of skimmed milk powder on the market: one for infants and one for adults. There is a notable difference between these two types of powdered milk that must be clarified before making the wrong purchases.

Both types of milk are freeze-dried but the one for newborns contains dietary fibre, vegetable oils and whey proteins while the one for adults is simple dehydrated milk.

Powdered milk for adults contains 4% water, 36% proteins, 1.5% fats, 51% lactose, 33% nitrogenous substances and 8% mineral salts.
This is not artificial or chemical milk, it is simply milk without water.

Spray-dry technique: this procedure is based on the atomization of pasteurized and homogenized milk and sprayed through thin nozzles which form very small droplets which, passing into a chamber where a stream of hot air at 150 °C evaporates the humidity present, forming dust.

Types of skimmed milk powder:

Powdered milk is traded in three types: whole, partially skimmed and low-fat. Italian law requires a fat content of around 26% for the whole type, 13 to 17% for the partially skimmed type and a fat content of no less than 0.5% for the lean type. The reconstitution of the milk powder must be done with water that is not too hot and adding the powder "like a rain" so that no lumps form.

The powder-water ratio to reconstitute one kilo of milk is set at:

• intero: polvere 100 g, acqua 900 g;
• partially skimmed: powder 100 g, water 900 g;
• magro: polvere 120 g, acqua 880 g.
