Butter Milk Powder

Buttermilk powder is made by drying liquid buttermilk through a process of evaporation and spray drying. The cream from milk is separated which is then pasteurized and cultured with lactic acid bacteria to develop the characteristic tangy flavor of buttermilk. After the culture has been added, the liquid buttermilk is then concentrated by evaporating off much of the water content, which increases the solids content of the liquid. This concentrated buttermilk is then spray dried in a hot air chamber to create the final buttermilk powder product. During the spray drying process, the concentrated buttermilk is atomized into small droplets, which are then exposed to hot air to remove the remaining moisture and create a dry powder.

Buttermilk powder is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes, such as bread, pancakes, biscuits, and cakes, to add a tangy flavor and to help tenderize the dough. It can also be used in savory dishes, such as soups and sauces, to add a creamy texture and tangy flavor.
