Dairy product permeate powder makes food easy to achieve "salt" and "sweet"

The Healthy China Action (2019-2030) clearly states that by 2030, the per capita daily salt intake should not exceed 5 grams and sugar intake should not exceed 25 grams

Recently, at the special forum on "Mechanism of Food Nutrition and Health" sponsored by the China Society of Food Science and Technology, the participating experts focused on the salt reduction, sugar reduction, clean label and other functions of dairy permeate powder and its application in the food industry.

A valuable food industry raw material

Dairy product permeate powder, including milk permeate powder and whey permeate powder, is based on skim milk or whey, pasteurized, and undergoes physical separation (membrane filtration) or other treatment processes to remove the protein.

"Research has shown that 10-11 grams of dairy permeate powder can replace 1 gram of salt

Realize product innovation and upgrade

With the development of technology, the application of dairy permeate powder in China's food industry has become more and more extensive

Due to its crispy, salty and fragrant characteristics, rice noodles are deeply loved by consumers in China.

Based on the functional benefits of dairy permeate powder, a variety of products using this food ingredient continue to be launched worldwide and are favored by consumers

"In the future, dairy permeate powder has unlimited possibilities

However, Tom Guering suggested that the amount of dairy permeate powder used depends on the specific application, such as the use of dairy permeate powder to replace some more expensive ingredients, usually balancing the carbohydrate content of the recipe, and certain flavors , because of the flavor-enhancing effect of dairy permeate powders, it is advisable to conduct some additional application testing to evaluate changes in organoleptic properties, such as flavor, color, and texture, brought about by dairy permeate powders

Leading development with standard guidance application

The multiple functions of dairy permeate powder not only help reduce salt and sugar in food, but also bring corresponding economic benefits and have great market potential

The standard application route for dairy permeate powder is through the "Technical Review of Imported Food Related Standards without National Food Safety Standards"

In 2017, the "Notice of the General Office of the National Health and Family Planning Commission on Regulating the Review of Imports Without National Food Safety Standards" stipulates that "If the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center believes that the standards to be reviewed meet the requirements, it proposes to designate temporary application of relevant standards.

"The 'provisional' of the "Applicable Standards for Deproteinized Milk Mineral Lactose Powder (Dairy Product Permeate Powder) (Provisional)" is for the national standard system

The standard proposes that the source of the product, such as the source of whey and milk, should be clearly identified in the product name of the label
