Dairy powder is a versatile shelf-stable product made by removing water from milk or cream. It retains most of the natural nutrition, including protein, calcium, and vitamins. Its primary functions are to extend shelf life, reduce transportation costs, and provide a consistent ingredient for manufacturing. It is widely used in food production for countless applications, such as bakery goods, confectionery, dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, soups, sauces, and ready-to-drink beverages. It enhances nutritional profile, contributes to browning and flavor in baked items, and improves texture and mouthfeel in various processed foods.
