Milk is of two types:
1). Full Cream Milk Powder (FCMP):
2).Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP).
1). FCMP:
It stands for Full Cream Milk Powder. It is also called Whole Milk Powder. Dry whole milk powder is usually obtained by removing water from pasteurized, homogenized whole milk. It may also be obtained by blending fluid, condensed or skimmed milk powder with liquid or dry cream or with fluid, condensed or dry milk, provided the composition of the dry whole milk powder conforms to the country’s Federal Standards.
It contains two types of subcategories which are as follows:
A). FCMP containing Animal Fats:
These fats are naturally in the milk so just we have to use spray dry technique to produce FCMP. No extraction is needed to take any ingredient out in this type of full cream milk powder. Spray dryers are used to convert liquid milk into powder milk form.
B). FCMP containing Vegetable Fats:
Extraction is needed in this type of full cream milk powder to replace it into powder form. Due to this replacing, the prepared FCMP is called FCMP Replacer. After extraction, natural milk fats are taken out then vegetable fats are added to compensate the absence of natural fats in the milk. Then it is converted into powder form for the consumption. After re-furbishing process, shelf life of the milk is automatically enhanced.
2). SMP:
It stands for skimmed milk powder. It is obtained by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. This milk contains low fat and it is dehydrated milk without cream in it. Dehydrated skimmed milk powder used extensively as a milk replacer provided it is not too expensive. It is a high protein supplement but deficient in vitamins A and D both of which will have been extracted with the butterfat.
If any of these milk types have the shelf life expired, then it indicates that it is not fit for human consumption. However, it cannot be treated as wastage because it can be re-furbished for further use. By re-furbishing, shelf life of the product is automatically enhanced.
