In module 20, we will look at the two dried products categories: milk powder and whey powder.
Dried dairy products are important because they turn milk into a shelf stable product not requiring refrigeration and having a longer shelf life. Dry milk and whey products are used in other food applications to provide a variety of functional benefits.
We will review standards for powders, the process steps used for their production, and their application. We will also learn quality and product defects.
