Summary

Powders were prepared from whole and skim-milk using reverse osmosis (RO) as a first stage followed by either evaporation and spray drying or spray drying alone. They were compared with powders made by the conventional method of evaporation and spray drying. Measurements were made of powder solubility, free fat content, whey protein denaturation, vitamin content, powder morphology and bacterial count. The free fat contents of powders prepared from whole milk concentrated by RO were high; otherwise, there were no significant differences in the properties of powders made from milks concentrated initially by RO and those prepared by conventional evaporation. The results indicate that it is feasible to use RO for the manufacture of skim-milk powder and for dried whole milk production where higher free fat levels are not detrimental.
