Semi-skimmed milk powder, also known as low-fat milk powder, is made from partially skimmed milk, where a portion of the milk fat is removed before the milk is evaporated to create the powder. This results in a powder with lower fat content compared to whole milk powder.
Semi-skimmed milk powder is often used as a more health-conscious alternative to whole milk powder. It provides a balance between the creaminess of whole milk powder and the lower fat content desired by some consumers. Like full-fat milk powder, semi-skimmed milk powder can be reconstituted with water to produce liquid milk or used as an ingredient in various food applications such as baking, cooking, and beverage preparation.
The lower fat content of semi-skimmed milk powder may make it preferable for certain dietary preferences or requirements, while still providing many of the nutritional benefits of milk, including protein, calcium, and other essential vitamins and minerals.
