Skimmed milk powder in ice cream: what it is for, how to use it and how to obtain it.

How do you get Spray Milk Powder?

Our skimmed milk powder is produced using the spray drying technique. This method involves atomizing liquid milk in a hot chamber, where the water is rapidly evaporated, leaving behind a very fine powder. The result is a skimmed milk powder with a uniform appearance and texture, which preserves the natural flavor and nutritional properties of fresh milk.

Why is it used? Skimmed Milk Powder in the ice cream? 

Skimmed milk powder can be a very useful ingredient in making ice cream. Here's how you can use it and what it's for:

1. Making the Ice Cream Base: Skim milk powder can be used to make the ice cream base. Measure out the desired amount of skim milk powder and mix it with the other base ingredients, such as cream, sugar, and flavorings. This will add creaminess and texture to the ice cream, even if you use skim milk instead of whole milk.

2. Reducing Fat Content: If you want to reduce the fat content in your ice cream, you can use skim milk powder as a substitute for whole milk. This allows you to get a lighter ice cream without sacrificing texture and flavor.

3. Increasing the density of ice cream: Skim milk powder can be used to increase the density of ice cream. Adding an appropriate amount of skim milk powder to the base of the ice cream will result in a thicker and creamier consistency.

4. Improving Ice Cream Stability: Adding skim milk powder to the ice cream base can improve the stability of the final product. This is especially useful if you want to store the ice cream in the freezer for a longer period of time without ice crystals forming.

What are the benefits of powdered milk, other than ice cream? 

1. Longer shelf life: Low fat milk powder has a longer shelf life than liquid milk. Since the water has been removed, the milk powder can be stored at room temperature without degrading quickly, thus reducing waste.

2. Convenience and convenience: Low-fat powdered milk is extremely convenient to use, especially in situations where fresh milk may not be available or convenient to use. You can store low-fat powdered milk in your pantry and make a cup of fresh milk when you need it by simply mixing the powder with water.

3. Volume reduction and easy transport: Low fat milk powder is much lighter and more compact than liquid milk. This makes transport and storage more convenient, especially when travelling or in situations where the volume of ingredients needs to be reduced.

In summary, using skimmed milk powder offers advantages such as convenience, longer shelf life, and reduced fat content. In ice cream, it can contribute to greater creaminess, stability, and uniformity in the mixing of ingredients.

Please note that using skim milk powder in ice cream may require some adjustments to the recipe, depending on the desired consistency and other ingredients used. It is recommended to follow a specific recipe or consult the skim milk powder manufacturer's instructions for best results.
