Skim Milk Powder (Smp)

Dried milk is used as a food ingredient in dairy, prepared dry mixes, confectionery and bakery. SMP can be reconstituted by adding water to obtain liquid milk, recombined by adding water and fat in such a quantity to achieve the desired fat content, or simply used as an ingredient. Its high nutritional quality combined with its versatile and multi-functional properties make it attractive for many applications such as the following:
