The difference between whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder

Milk powder is the most common nutritional supplement in life, and it is especially suitable for the elderly and weak and young children. But when people go to the supermarket to buy milk powder, they always find that milk powder is divided into whole milk powder and skim milk powder. What is the difference between them? If you want to know the difference between them, you can read the detailed introduction of them.

Difference between whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder

1. Fat content

The difference in fat content is the biggest difference between whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder. Whole milk powder refers to fresh milk that is processed into milk powder without separating the fat it contains, while skimmed milk powder refers to milk powder obtained after separating the fat in the milk during the processing, and its fat content is less than 1%.

2. Nutritional value

There are also certain differences in the nutritional value of whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder. Natural milk contains a variety of vitamins and some fat-soluble vitamins, and a considerable part of these nutrients are present in the fat in the milk. If the fat is removed during the processing, the nutritional value of the skimmed milk obtained will be relatively low. From this respect, the nutritional value of whole milk powder is much higher than that of skimmed milk powder.

3. Health care effect

The difference between whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder also lies in their different health benefits. Because the fat in natural milk contains a variety of anti-cancer substances, and it is rich in linoleic acid, the whole milk powder made from it also has obvious anti-cancer effects. It can inhibit the production of a variety of carcinogens, and people can prevent cancer after consuming it. Although skimmed milk meets people's dietary requirements, its anti-cancer ability is relatively poor.

4. Different taste and texture

The taste and flavor of whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder are also quite different. After whole milk powder is brewed, a lot of foam will appear on the surface. This is a kind of milk scale, a combination of fat and protein, which will emit a strong milky aroma. After brewing, skimmed milk powder will not produce milk scale or strong milky aroma. In other words, the taste of skimmed milk powder obtained after removing the fat in the milk will become much worse.
