Buttermilk Powder

Buttermilk powder is a widely used dairy product, produced by drying the butter’s byproduct liquid when it is churned from fermented milk. This product undergoes a specialized process: after butter separation, the buttermilk liquid is exposed to vacuum evaporation, followed by spray drying to achieve powder form. This method preserves all the nutritional properties and unique flavor of buttermilk.

Due to its distinct characteristics, buttermilk powder is now commonly used in various food products, as well as cosmetics and personal care items.

Product Attributes

Because of its unique production process and nutritional composition, Ramak’s buttermilk powder offers several key attributes that set it apart from other dairy products:

  • Extended Shelf Life: The moisture reduction during the drying process results in a significantly longer shelf life compared to liquid buttermilk. This facilitates easier storage and transportation, making it an ideal choice for different industries.
  • Preserved Flavor: The powder’s mild, slightly tangy flavor complements food goods by adding a pleasant, natural taste. Unlike some dairy alternatives, buttermilk maintains the authentic dairy flavor and aroma in the final product.
  • Versatile Applications: This product is a suitable alternative for dry milk powder in a variety of food formulations. Beyond the food industry, it is regularly used in cosmetics, personal care and hygiene products, too.
  • Improved Texture: In baked and fried goods, buttermilk powder enhances the tenderness, softness, and overall texture.
  • Rich Protein Source: Buttermilk powder contains a balanced amount of milk proteins, providing high nutritional value and boosting the nutritional profile of the products it is added to.

Packaging Type and Weight

To preserve quality and extend shelf life, Ramak’s dry buttermilk powder is available in standard, robust packaging:

  • Packaging Type: Double-layered plastic-paper bag made of an outer composite layer and polyethylene lining. This design prevents moisture, contamination and preserves quality.
  • Package Weight: Each bag weighs 25 kilograms, perfect for industrial use and large-scale production.

Storage Condition

A temperature of 10°C (50°F) is recommended to maintain product freshness and traits. The storage environment should have a humidity level below 60% to prevent moisture absorption and powder caking.

Under proper storage conditions, dry buttermilk can be stored for up to 24 months without the slightest loss in quality or nutritional value.
