SKIMMED MILK POWDER
SKM - SKIMMED MILK POWDER
What is Skimmed Milk Powder?
Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) is a dairy product made by removing water and most of the fat content from fresh cow’s milk. It typically contains less than 1.5% milk fat and retains the essential proteins, carbohydrates (mainly lactose), and minerals found in natural milk.
SMP is produced through a spray-drying process and is widely used in the food industry due to its long shelf life, ease of transport, and nutritional value. It is commonly used in bakery products, confectionery, dairy blends, sauces, beverages, and infant formula.
Skimmed milk powder is available in two types:
- Low-heat SMP (better for cultured dairy products)
- High-heat SMP (preferred in bakery and confectionery applications)
It is an economical and functional alternative to fresh milk in industrial food production.
