maitojauheen

Maito jauhe, also known as milk powder, is a dairy product made by removing water from milk. This process typically involves evaporation and then drying the milk through methods like spray drying or roller drying. The resulting powder is shelf-stable and can be reconstituted by adding water.

There are several types of maito jauhe, including whole milk powder, skim milk powder, and buttermilk powder, each varying in fat content. Whole milk powder contains the full fat content of milk, while skim milk powder has had most of the fat removed. Buttermilk powder is derived from the liquid left after churning butter.

Maito jauhe is widely used in the food industry as an ingredient in baked goods, confectionery, infant formulas, and ready-to-eat meals. It is valued for its convenience, extended shelf life, and ability to add milk solids, flavor, and texture to products. For consumers, it offers a convenient way to have milk readily available, especially in areas where fresh milk is scarce or transportation is difficult. It is also used in remote settings or for camping due to its portability. The reconstitution process is straightforward, usually involving mixing the powder with a specified amount of water.
