How to make milk powder at home

Recently, there has been a trend in the world towards healthier eating and vegetarianism. It is very difficult for some to force themselves to eat right, because in fact it is difficult to give up delicious sweets, candies and pastries. But this problem is easily solved: you don’t need to completely remove sweets from your diet, you just need to replace them with healthier ones.

Candies made from powdered milk with added cocoa

A regular dairy product is condensed and then evaporated using special equipment. Powdered milk retains all the beneficial substances as regular milk. This low-fat version is included in healthy foods, such as dietary sweets.

These sweets can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than one week.

Truffles with nuts

A common problem for everyone who is losing weight is sweets. It can be very difficult to give up the usual chocolate bar, but if you accustom your body to a healthier option, you can enjoy the taste of the dish and lose weight at the same time. Desserts containing walnuts are especially useful, since they contain vegetable proteins and vitamins with polyunsaturated acids.

powdered milk – 1 tbsp;
boiled water - 110 ml;
ghee - 170 g;
granulated sugar - 150 g;
cocoa powder - 100 g;
hazelnuts and walnuts - 1 tbsp.

Time required: 1 hour 15 minutes.

Calories: 300 kcal.

Mix milk and cocoa until smooth in a deep glass bowl. Pour all the granulated sugar into a saucepan and pour in the melted butter and water.
Turn on the lowest heat and, stirring constantly, cook for 10 minutes. The sugar should completely dissolve.
When the liquid part is ready, pour it in a thin stream into the bowl with the remaining ingredients. Mix everything carefully and very thoroughly so that you get one mass.
Let it cool slightly and then put it in the refrigerator.
Ideally, the dough should chill for 3-4 hours, but you can chill it for 30 minutes. The longer it sits in the refrigerator, the easier it will be to make some sweet figures.
Pinch off small pieces from the ball of dough. Roll each piece into a flat cake and place hazelnuts in the center. Roll the cake into a ball so that the hazelnuts are not visible.
Grind the walnuts in a coffee grinder until powdery. Roll each ball in walnut crumbs.
You can also use cocoa for dusting.

Those fudges that remain are stored in the refrigerator in a closed container. Their shelf life is long (several weeks), but it is better to eat everything in the first 7 days and then cook fresh.

Preparation

1. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance to soften it. You should not put it in the microwave, as it will melt a lot and become liquid. In this recipe, it is not advisable to replace butter with margarine. Transfer the pieces to a deep container. Sift the powder through a strainer into a bowl with the oil. For whipping you will need a mixer. Beat on medium speed for 7-10 minutes until the oil mass becomes fluffy and the powder is completely dissolved. At this step, you can add a pinch of vanilla powder or ground cinnamon.

2. Sift the milk powder through a sieve to remove any lumps that have formed. Add in parts to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix immediately with a spatula. Continue until all the milk has been added.

3. The result is a plastic mass, similar in structure to plasticine. Pour in some milk and stir with a spatula.

4. Use a spoon to scoop out a little candy mixture and form a ball the size of a quail egg. From this amount of dough you get 18-20 candy blanks.

5. Pour sifted cocoa into a small deep container. Dip each ball into powder and roll on all sides. Repeat the breading procedure twice, since after the first rolling, the shell becomes wet under the influence of the incoming ingredients. Instead of cocoa powder, you can use coconut, waffle or biscuit crumbs for breading.

Homemade toffee with sour cream

Toffee with sour cream is an amazing treat for you and your children. No dyes or flavors, only natural products!

I saw this simple recipe for homemade toffees and I really wanted to make it.

Just combine sour cream with sugar, what could be simpler? And the taste is not richly sweet, but rather unobtrusive, with a sour cream flavor. You can eat as much as you like, they don’t get boring at all. Well, shall we begin?

Products:

Butter - 30 g
Sugar - 220 gr
Sour cream – 220 gr

Method for preparing butterscotch with sour cream:

To start making toffees, we need to take equal proportions of sour cream and sugar and add a little butter to them. If you want to make more toffees, increase the amount of ingredients.

2. Take a ladle, it is better if it is made of stainless steel than enameled. In a ladle, combine sour cream and sugar and a small piece of prepared butter. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. First, small bubbles will appear on the surface. You need to stir constantly and do not leave the stove.

3. After a while, the mixture will look like condensed milk. Continue stirring to prevent the mixture from burning on the bottom. Very soon our future toffees will change color and become thick. If you want a darker color, cook longer. Stirring will become more difficult, but you need to increase the intensity.

When you are happy with the color of the toffee, remove it from the heat and add the butter. The oil must be intensively mixed into the composition.

It should be this thick. dark mixture. It needs to be quickly poured into molds or poured onto a flat surface. You must first grease the molds and surface for hardening with butter.

You can use a silicone candy mold or a glass baking dish. You can use whatever utensils you have. If you pour the toffee not into molds, but onto a flat surface, then while the toffee mixture is still warm, make cuts with a wet knife to make it easier to cut into pieces later.

Now we need to leave the toffee for a while to harden. A little later we will free them from the molds and divide them into portions. From this amount of products you get 260 grams of ready-made toffees.

We wish you a pleasant tea party!

It’s easy to prepare diet sweets at home; there are many recipes on the Internet, including those that are quite affordable in terms of ingredients and cost. Low-calorie sweets, made with your own hands using only healthy ingredients, will diversify your diet, decorate the table, and will not harm your figure. You can treat your friends to them and ask them to guess what kind of delicacy it is. They will be surprised to learn that these are homemade sweets and not store-bought sweets.

They make delicious dietary candies from chickpeas, oatmeal, dried fruits and nuts, and you can’t do without cottage cheese

By combining various products, supplementing them with honey, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, you can obtain new flavors and aromas.

Fitness candies work well with proteins in various flavors, which can be purchased in sports and diet food stores.

This recipe is a godsend for coffee lovers. If you are against instant coffee, you can make a very strong brewed one. Then you will need to replace the milk with it.

Cut the settled deliciousness into rectangles and serve with tea or coffee.

For a rich taste with a refined bitterness, add coffee to COM. For a milder taste of candy, first stir the coffee in milk, and only then add it to the COM. The taste of candy is very different in both cases - choose the one that suits you best!

PP candies made from dried fruits and nuts

Dietary sweets made from dried fruits and nuts are very tasty and aromatic.

It's good to drink morning tea with them or eat them as a snack in the morning.

For an evening meal, they are quite high in calories - there are a lot of fats and carbohydrates.

It’s good to eat a couple of things before training - carbohydrates will give you the necessary boost of energy. Fitness candies made from dried fruits are easy to prepare. You can add dried bananas, figs, dried apples, and dried cranberries to the recipe. Ground slices of dried lemons or oranges will add piquancy to the candies.

I like the sweetness anyway, but if you want, you can sweeten it with something, just not liquid, otherwise they won’t hold their shape.

Products:

raisins - 100 g
dates - 100 g
dried apricots - 100 g
prunes – 100 g
walnuts - 100 g
sesame - 2-3 tbsp.

Chocolate diet candies made from chickpeas

Delicious healthy candies can be made at home from chickpeas (chickpeas).

This product has a pleasant, delicate taste, which allows it to be used for making desserts. For example, just recently our authors prepared a selection of recipes with photos of “Potato” cakes; there are also options with chickpeas.

What you will need:

boiled chickpeas – 250 g

Place chickpeas, peanuts, paste, vanillin, stevia in a blender and puree.
Break the chocolate in half. Melt one half and add to the chickpea-peanut mixture (beat well again). Place the rest in the refrigerator.
The consistency of the puree should be such that it can be rolled into a ball that holds its shape. We form round candies.
Grate the cooled chocolate on a fine grater and roll the chickpea and peanut balls in it.
Store in the refrigerator so that the deliciousness does not lose its shape.

PP truffles with protein

Once upon a time, I remember, truffle was a dream for those with a sweet tooth, a real joy for a gourmet!

These candies were hard to come by.

I will tell you the recipe for the legendary delicacy, but, of course, adapted for proper nutrition, or rather for a fitness diet, since it contains whey protein.

What you will need:

whey protein with chocolate flavor - 50 g
cocoa (preferably low-fat) - 5 tbsp.
ground almonds - 4 tbsp.
coconut oil - 2.5 tbsp.

Mix cottage cheese with protein. Just not in a blender, otherwise the mixture will become liquid!
Dip each grape into the cheese and roll it well.
Transfer the berries to ground cashews and roll in it.
Place the decorated rafaelles on a plate and serve.

The lowest calorie curd sweets

These sweets are also similar to Rafaelka, but are made a little differently. Dietary curd sweets have a delicate taste. Cottage cheese goes well with most foods. I advise you to take the ripest banana, then you don’t need to add any sweeteners.

To have the same caloric content as in the recipe, take sugars with zero calorie content, for example, stevia.

Ingredients:

low-fat cottage cheese – 100 g
banana – 1 pc.
oatmeal – 5-6 tbsp. l.
sweetener powder - to taste
coconut flakes - 3 tbsp.

Step-by-step preparation:

Puree the banana flakes in a blender. Let stand for 20 minutes so that the flakes swell slightly. Mix with all other products except coconut flakes.
Form cottage cheese candies into balls, rings or sausages, roll in coconut flakes.
Diet sweets made from cottage cheese should be stored in the refrigerator; their shelf life is short - equal to the shelf life of cottage cheese.

Heat water in an iron saucepan over medium heat. Chop the butter into pieces and throw into boiling water. Wait until it completely dissolves. Pour in granulated sugar.
It is worth considering that if dates are used as a filling, the resulting dish will be very sweet, so you can reduce the total amount of sugar.
Once all the sugar has dissolved, pour the resulting syrup into a glass bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Fry the peeled peanuts with oil. If the nuts were in the peel, remove it after roasting.
Grind the peanuts in a coffee grinder or blender.
Divide the coconut pulp into 2 parts and fry one of them in a frying pan until golden brown.

This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 30 days, just place it in a container with a lid.

Proper dilution of milk powder

To obtain a quality product, it must be properly diluted. So how do you dilute milk powder so that it tastes like natural milk?

The most important thing is to use only warm water during the dilution process. If you take boiling water, the milk will simply boil and form a lot of lumps. Cold water is also not recommended. In this case, the milk will not dissolve enough and will leave pieces of concentrate. The best solution is to take boiled water and cool it to room temperature.

Required proportions:

200 ml liquid;
5 teaspoons (25 grams) powder.

Cooking process:

Take a deep bowl and add the required amount of milk powder.
From all the water that we calculated according to the proportion, pour 50 ml. It is necessary to pour in a thin stream and stir constantly to avoid the formation of lumps. Then pour out the remaining water and mix our milk thoroughly.
Once the mixture is ready, leave it on the table for 10-15 minutes. This must be done so that the protein defect completely swells. After this, our product is ready for use. Thus, we prepared milk with 2.5% fat content.
If you want to change its fat content, simply vary the amount of dry powder up or down by the amount of water.

When using this milk to prepare dishes such as porridge, pancakes or buns, you do not need to dilute the milk with the full volume of liquid as described above. It will be enough to pour a little water into the powder, stir until the lumps dissolve, and add the rest of the liquid as needed for your future dish.

Diluted milk powder is no worse than the milk we are used to. It can be brought to a boil (in making soup or porridge), and even used as a base for fermented milk products.

Have you purchased powdered milk? How to dilute this product correctly? Often lovers of dairy products cannot imagine outdoor recreation without this healthy product. Since transporting and storing classic drinking milk without a refrigerator is difficult, vacationers should take care of having a package of powdered milk. Properly diluted dry products are not inferior in taste and nutritional properties to fresh milk. The question “how to dilute milk powder” is often asked by cooks and livestock breeders. To understand what proportions should be observed when diluting the white mixture, it is worth finding out what options for dry products are available.

The store can offer whole and low-fat dry milk products. They are distinguished by the fat content in their composition. Whole milk powder has a shorter shelf life (compared to skim milk). Whole milk powder tastes like the pasteurized version. The color of the milk powder has creamy notes. Want to try powdered milk? We will find out how to breed this wonderful product below.

Standards and proportions

To obtain a product close in value to the original, it is necessary to maintain the proportions of water and powder. The standard is three to one. That is, 300–350 g of milk powder is taken for one liter of water.

This ratio may vary depending on the purposes for further use of the product. In addition, the majority are accustomed to drinking milk with lower fat content, which is sold in stores (the norm is 3.2%). This means that you need to take from 100 to 160 g of powder per liter of water.

How to dilute it with water for human drinking and other purposes?

In addition to maintaining proportions, it is necessary to adhere to the technology of the milk recovery process :

the required amount of product is determined and the volumes of components (water and powder) are calculated;
water for recovery is heated to a temperature not higher than 60 °C (optimally - 40 °C);
the powder is poured into a deep container;
water is poured gradually, the composition is continuously stirred, but not too intensively;
Stirring is carried out until the component is completely dissolved;
the finished milk is left for ten minutes to infuse and finally dissolve the solid particles.

Pancakes

For example, to make pancakes, the powder does not even need to be diluted in water. It’s more convenient to add the necessary ingredients (salt, sugar, eggs) and mix everything well. Only then can you add warm water to the mixture.

You will need 2-3 eggs, a pinch of salt, a few tablespoons of sugar to taste and 5-7 tablespoons of milk powder. After stirring, pour in 300 ml of water. Again, add water to the mixture, but not the other way around. Gradual addition of water and parallel stirring results in a homogeneous mass without lumps.

Then add 1-2 cups of flour to the mixture and mix everything again until smooth. At the end, add more vegetable oil. The classic pancake recipe is ready. Each housewife has her own recipe, so parts of the components can be changed as desired.

Porridge

To prepare porridge with milk, when determining the proportions for dilution, you need to proceed from the final fat content of the finished product. It was said above that to obtain optimal milk with a fat content of 2.6%, you need approximately 5 level spoons per 200 ml of water (or 6 level tablespoons per 1 liter). This should be enough to prepare semolina, rice, buckwheat porridge, etc. If someone wants fatter, then no one forbids adding a little more powder, but manufacturers say that to obtain any volume of reconstituted milk, a proportion of 8 to 1 should be observed.

For one standard serving of porridge per 200–300 g, you will need a glass of water and 5 tsp. powder. Accordingly, for 4 servings you will already need a liter of water and 6 tablespoons of powder.

The dilution technology is no different from milk reconstitution: warm water is also gradually added to the powder with constant stirring. The only difference is that there is no need to leave the finished milk for 10–15 minutes. When a homogeneous mass is achieved after mixing, you can immediately add the cereal and cook the porridge until completely cooked.

Baby food

Powdered milk is also often used for baby food, both as part of special mixtures and in its usual form. It happens that girls do not have their own milk for feeding, or the mother simply decided to stop breastfeeding. Another situation is when as the baby grows, he needs more milk, but the mother no longer has enough of it. It is impossible to deprive a small child of useful components. Therefore, powdered milk helps solve the problem, because there is nothing harmful in it. And this is convenient in principle, since the powder can be stored for a long time.

The first step is to make sure that the product was purchased from a reliable manufacturer and that there are no suspicious substances in the composition, for example, vegetable oils (especially palm oil).

You should definitely consult a doctor who will take into account the individual characteristics of the baby. If there are no special requirements for fat content, then you can safely prepare milk for your baby, following the instructions on the packaging.

It is very important to visit a doctor. After all, it may turn out that the child is allergic to fatty milk. Then the proportions will need to be carefully adjusted.

How to make regular milk from milk powder

To properly dilute powdered milk, we need:

powdered milk – 3 tbsp. without slide;
drinking water – 1 glass (200 ml).

Step-by-step preparation:

Let's prepare the necessary ingredients for dilution: milk powder and a glass of clean drinking water. If we want to get a larger amount of the finished product than one glass of milk, we increase the proportions for dilution accordingly. We pre-boil the water and cool it to a temperature of about 50 degrees. The water should not be too hot, and boiling water should absolutely not be used, otherwise the milk will curdle into lumps when diluted. Cold water is also undesirable - the milk powder may not dissolve completely.

Let's prepare the powder product and warm water
We measure out the required amount of dry milk powder - 3 level tablespoons or 5 heaped teaspoons, 60 g in total. Pour it into a glass or other container for dilution. The amount of powder can be varied according to your taste. The more milk powder, the thicker and fattier the finished product will be, and vice versa. From the indicated proportions, milk with a fat content of 2.5% is obtained.

Measuring dry milk powder
Pour a little warm water into the measured amount of powder, no more than 50-100 ml at a time. Mix with a spoon or whisk. At this stage there will be lumps in the mixture - this is normal. Add the remaining water in small portions, mixing thoroughly each time. For the most uniform consistency, or if you doubt the quality of the milk powder at this step, you can use a submersible blender and thoroughly beat the entire mass.

Dilute with warm water
Leave the mixture at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the powder will still swell, and the milk will become as homogeneous as possible. Such properly diluted milk can be boiled, used for drinking and preparing a wide variety of dishes, just like regular milk.

Properly diluted milk powder

This diluted milk should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days.

How to dilute without lumps

In fact, diluting powdered milk without lumps is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Even despite following the instructions indicated on the package, many housewives are unable to prepare it correctly so that it is homogeneous and without lumps.

The water should be warm. Do not use either boiling water or ice water. The approximate proportions are 1:8, but this does not mean that you have to stand in the kitchen and accurately calculate grams of powder;
Approximately 6-7 teaspoons of powder should be taken for one plastic disposable cup and mixed with water in the amount of one glass;
It is important to know that you need to add water gradually and not pour it out in one motion. If you do not follow this rule, you will not be able to prepare a drink without forming lumps.

The proportions for diluting powdered milk may vary slightly, depending on the purpose of its use. If you want to get a larger amount of product, take several times more of all components.

Powdered milk is often used in cooking when kneading dough for baking bread or rolls, if there is no fresh product on hand. This powder can also be diluted to prepare soups, porridges or other dishes. You can also make fermented milk products from it at home.

To prepare the product, you cannot use boiling water, otherwise the powder will immediately form into lumps, which will be impossible to get rid of. After preparing the drink, it is recommended to let it brew a little: the whites will swell, and this will eliminate the watery taste.

Subtleties of breeding milk powder

Peculiarities:

To prepare the semi-finished product, add liquid in small portions and stir everything thoroughly until the consistency of a thick, homogeneous slurry, then add the rest of the water.
Use warm boiled water. If it’s hot, the product will “cook”, but if it’s cold, it won’t dissolve and will form lumps.

To prepare pancakes, take 8 tablespoons of powder per 1 liter of liquid. To cook condensed milk: take sugar, water and milk powder in equal proportions and cook for one hour in a water bath, stirring.

Roll the balls well in coconut. Serve or transfer to parchment paper and refrigerate.

Such goodies can be made for someone and, beautifully packaged, given as a sweet present.

The video contains detailed instructions for making sweets from milk powder and coconut flakes at home:

Application of milk powder

With the advent of modern technologies for the production of milk powder, its scope today covers the following sectors of the economy and national economy.

First of all, this is, of course, the food industry. Confectionery and pasta, baby food, ice cream, bread, whole milk products with a long shelf life - all these products are produced on the basis of milk powder.

This nutritional mixture has long become an invariable companion for tourists and travelers, because when going on a long hike, along with a can of stew, you can take with you a small bag, which will then become a source of protein and vitamins, so necessary for covering long distances and conquering mountain peaks.

Airlines and rail carriers have included powdered milk in the menu for passengers to add a spoonful of milk to their coffee while traveling long distances.

Breeders of cattle and other livestock sectors who have a large number of livestock on their farms, having come to the conclusion that feeding calves and piglets with whole milk is becoming unprofitable, are switching en masse to a powder analogue, because with the current method of production, its properties are in no way inferior to natural pasteurized milk.

INGREDIENTS

250 g milk powder 300–350 g sugar 100 g butter 100 ml water 2–3 tbsp. l. cocoa powder 1 pinch cardamom

What is milk powder

Concentrate from a regular pasteurized drink or milk powder is dried milk. It eliminates many of the disadvantages of the liquid version - it is stored longer and easier to transport. At the same time, it retains its excellent composition and contains all the necessary nutrients and vitamins. The prototype of the modern product was the milky blocks that were made by the inhabitants of Siberia by freezing milk.

The dry powder was first obtained by the Russian doctor Krichevsky, who evaporated the liquid for a long time using a special technology so that all the beneficial properties of the original product were preserved. Several decades later, the powder is used in cooking and the food industry, and is included in the diet of adults and children.

Low fat

A subtype of the product is skim milk powder, which contains 25 times less fat than whole milk. There are just as many other useful substances left there. Due to the low fat content, the product is stored for a long time and does not require special conditions. If you mix skim milk with whole milk, steam it and dry it, you get an instant product that baristas use to supplement their coffee.

Whole

Powdered whole milk has a high calorie content and a low shelf life. It is a uniformly colored white-cream powder of uniform consistency. The product is obtained from whole cow's milk. The finished powder can be dissolved without sediment. It does not have yellow or brown inclusions and is easily rubbed between your fingers.

Homemade sweets from powdered milk preparation

First, make syrup from water and sugar. There is no need to boil it for a long time; just keep it on the fire for 5 minutes after boiling.

Place the butter in the hot syrup and leave for a couple of minutes. Then mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

Mix cocoa powder and milk powder in a bowl.

Pour the syrup into a bowl with cocoa and dry milk. Mix very well. At this stage, you need to add cardamom or other aromatic spices (cinnamon, vanilla) to the mixture. Mix everything thoroughly and place the mixture in the refrigerator to harden for 30–40 minutes.

Make products of any shape from the mass and roll them in cocoa.

If desired, some of the sweets can be rolled in chopped nuts or coconut flakes.

Place the products in a container and put them in the refrigerator. There they can be stored for up to 5 days.

What is powdered milk made from?

The classic product contains only whole pasteurized cow's milk. The raw materials undergo a complex five-stage drying and homogenization procedure, allowing the composition to remain virtually unchanged. The product is rich in protein, fats, milk sugar lactose, vitamins, nutrients and microelements. No additional components (soy protein, starch, sugar) are introduced into the composition - this worsens the quality and taste of the diluted drink.

How they do it

Powdered milk is produced in five stages at food factories in Russia. The raw material is fresh cow's milk, which undergoes the following changes:

Normalization – bringing the fat content of the raw material to normal (reduced fat content is increased, increased fat content is reduced). To do this, the product is mixed with less fat or cream. This stage is necessary to achieve a certain fat content ratio in accordance with regulatory documents.
Pasteurization is heating a liquid to remove bacteria and viruses. Milk needs to be pasteurized briefly and then cooled.
Thickening or cooking - at this stage the product is boiled, divided into whole and fat-free subtypes, for which the processes differ in time and parameters. If you add sugar to the product at this step, you will get condensed milk.
Homogenization – the manufacturer obtains a product of uniform consistency.
Drying – the resulting nutrient liquid is dried in a special apparatus until it reaches a certain percentage of humidity.

The benefits and harms of powdered milk

When properly prepared, the composition of milk powder retains most of the vitamins and almost all mineral components.

100 grams of it contain (in brackets - content in fresh milk):

vitamin A in the amount of 0.013 mg (0.02 mg)
vitamin B1 in the amount of 0.01 mg (0.04 mg)
vitamin B2 - 0.02 mg (0.15 mg)
vitamin C - 0.4 mg (1.3 mg)

In addition, milk powder contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and other macroelements, which provide comprehensive support for all body systems.

If during the production of powdered milk some of the vitamins disintegrate due to the heat treatment of the raw materials, then the mineral components are not afraid of heat treatment and are preserved in the milk powder in the same quantities as in fresh milk.

It is not surprising that powdered milk can be used as a replacement for fresh milk.

It is useful because it fills the body with energy, calcium and vitamins, is easily digestible and has little effect on the overall reaction of the digestive tract.

Reconstituted milk can be consumed by patients with diabetes and gastroenterological diseases.

In addition, vitamin B12, which is part of milk powder, is necessary for those who voluntarily refuse to eat meat.

The obvious beneficial properties of powdered milk are also manifested in the fact that preparing a drink from it does not require boiling: when condensed and dried, it already undergoes pasteurization, which destroys various bacteria.

The only disadvantages can be considered the ability to cause allergic reactions in those who cannot tolerate fresh milk, and a reduced amount of vitamins with a fairly high energy value. This imbalance can lead to weight gain.

Why is powdered milk harmful?

Due to drying at high temperatures, harmful oxysterols are formed in milk powder. Because of this, milk powder is banned in several countries.

Homogenization is also not the most useful process, during which mixing occurs with the rotor of a dispehydrator and exposure to pressure of 5-400 atmospheres through the homogenizer.

All food that is cooked under pressure is harmful to humans. And even more so under such enormous pressure.

The use of high-temperature dryers, which allow the production of maximum products per unit of time, leaves practically no vitamins in the milk powder.

Therefore, many people consider powdered milk to be harmful.

The reputation of powdered milk as a healthy product today is also being spoiled by various counterfeits that contain soy, starch and sugar.

It is no longer possible to call such a mixture milk, and in order not to purchase a low-quality product in a store, you must carefully check that the milk complies with GOST, and not technical specifications, and read the information about the composition on the product packaging.
