One kind of dehydrated milk powder is called partially skimmed milk powder, which is made by skimming half of the cream from whole milk and discarding the water. This entails using ultrafiltration to concentrate milk protein in order to produce a product that can replace conventional whole milk. It is notable for having a longer shelf life than liquid milk.
With fewer calories and fat, partially skimmed milk powder provides the benefits of milk in a variety of culinary and dietary applications while maintaining a balanced nutritional profile. It can be used to make tea or coffee and is useful for baking a variety of foods, including muffins, cakes, pancakes, yeast bread, cookies, and biscuits.
Products made from dried milk are essential to supply networks for both producers and consumers. Fresh skimmed cow or buffalo milk, or a combination of the two, is dried using a spray or roller drying method to produce partially skimmed milk powder.
According to IS standard 14542: 1998, all Partly Skimmed Milk Powder products are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme in order to guarantee product quality.
The Food and Agriculture Division Council gave its approval, and the Dairy Products and Equipment Sectional Committee refined the draft before the Bureau of Indian Standards approved it. The standard describes certain specifications, how to sample, and how to test partially skimmed milk powder.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
