Provided is an electrostatic spray dried powdered milk product with a surface composition comprising at least 8% less fat compared to a spray dried powder of the same milk product. Further provided is a method of providing a powdered milk product comprising electrostatic spray drying a milk product at an inlet temperature of below 150° C. The electrostatic spray dried milk product powder has a surface composition with a reduced fat content and increased carbohydrate content relative to the same milk product powder prepared by high heat spray drying.

A method of controlling the spray droplet size of a spray nozzle apparatus, in particular for the manufacturing of food powders, delivered to the spray nozzle comprises the following steps: a) providing a paste of a product to be sprayed by a spray nozzle; b) continuously determining the shear viscosity (η) of the product paste delivered to the spray nozzle; c) determining the mass flow rate (Qm) of the product paste delivered to the spray nozzle; d) determining the static pressure (P) of the product paste delivered to the spray nozzle; e) determining the density (p) of the product paste delivered to the spray nozzle; f) delivering the data obtained in steps b) to e) to a control device comprising a computer and a memory; g) calculating control data for adjusting the spray nozzle on the basis of the data obtained in steps b) to e) and on nozzle geometry parameters stored in the memory; h) sending the control data as control signals to a control means of the spray nozzle and adjusting the spray nozzle accordingly.

A product in powder form having a dry matter content of at least 90% by weight on its total weight and containing lactose in a quantity of at least 85% by weight on its total weight, as well as having a high bulk density; moreover a process for the production of this product in powder form is disclosed, comprising the steps of vacuum-concentrating a lactose-containing liquid, mixing the so-concentrated liquid with a lactose-containing powder and with a high dry matter content and, finally, drying the so-obtained powdered mixture.

The present disclosure discloses a milk powder containing maltopentaose trehalose instead of maltodextrin and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of processing of dairy products. In the present disclosure, a formula milk powder containing maltopentaose trehalose instead of maltodextrin includes the following raw materials in parts by mass: 85-90 parts of fresh milk, 1-2 parts of maltopentaose trehalose, 5-10 parts of vegetable oil, 1-2 parts of a desalted whey powder, 1.5-3 parts of a concentrated whey protein powder, 0.5-0.8 parts of lactose, 0.05-0.1 parts of a multivitamin, and 0.05-0.1 parts of a complex mineral. Differences in physical and chemical properties of products due to a nonuniform polymerization degree of maltodextrin are reduced, and the problem that a Maillard reaction is likely to be induced when the maltodextrin is mixed with an amino acid or protein is solved.

An alternative milk composition of spirulina digestible, bioavailable proteins, vitamins and minerals is described. The proteins, vitamins and minerals present in spirulina biomass are rendered digestible and bioavailable by unique homogenization process followed by thermo-chemical treatment. The alternative milk made with digestible, bioavailable proteins, vitamins and minerals is formulated with colorant, sweetener, flavor and gelling agent. The milk so obtained is packed with digestible and bioavailable proteins, vitamins and minerals is free from fishy odor and bitter taste.
