Milk powder is a product you get when you remove the moisture from regular liquid milk. The process involves evaporating the water content from milk, leaving behind a dry powder.
Milk powder has a longer shelf life compared to liquid milk, making it a convenient option for storage and transportation. It's a versatile ingredient used in a variety of culinary applications, from baking and cooking to making reconstituted milk for drinking.
Skim milk powder is essentially the low-fat version of regular milk powder. It's made by removing the fat content from liquid skim milk and then dehydrating the remaining liquid to obtain a dry powder. The result is a fine, white powder that offers a convenient and cost-effective way for food manufacturers to incorporate the nutritional benefits of milk into various products while extending their shelf life.

Full cream milk powder, also known as whole milk powder, is a product obtained by removing the water content from whole milk. The process involves evaporating the liquid from fresh milk, resulting in a dry powder that contains all the components of whole milk—proteins, fats, lactose, and minerals. Due to its rich flavor and nutritional profile, full cream milk powder is often chosen for its ability to enhance the taste and creaminess of dishes. It is widely used in the food industry for the production of dairy products, desserts, confectionery, and as a convenient option for consumers looking for a shelf-stable form of whole milk.

Fat-filled milk powder is a dairy product that is created by blending skim milk powder with vegetable fats or oils. The addition of fats increases the overall fat content of the powder, making it a substitute for whole milk powder while offering some cost advantages.
It's important to note that fat-filled milk powder is not the same as whole milk powder in terms of its composition and nutritional content. It is designed to provide a cost-effective solution for applications where a lower-cost dairy product with a desired fat content is acceptable.
