I believe that when many mothers buy milk powder for their babies, they find different instructions on the outer packaging of milk powder. For example, whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, partial skimmed milk powder and so on. I don't know what's the difference between these milk powder. Today, let's talk about the difference between whole milk powder and skim milk powder.

The difference between whole milk powder and skim milk powder

The protein content of whole milk powder is not less than 24%, the fat content is not less than 26%, and the lactose content is not less than 37%. Each kilogram of whole milk powder is made of about 8 kilogram of pure milk or pure goat milk after disinfection, dehydration and drying. The content of protein particles is relatively small, which is suitable for infants to drink.

Skimmed milk powder is made by removing fat from fresh milk and then disinfecting, dehydrating and drying. The fat content is about 1%. Due to the low protein content of skimmed milk powder, people with sensitive taste will think that skimmed milk powder is not sweet and not as good as whole milk powder. In this case, partial skimmed milk powder may be recommended.

1. Different nutritional value

Whole milk powder is equivalent to bovine colostrum, which contains much higher soluble trace elements than skimmed milk powder, especially protein in animal fat. Therefore, the general people eat whole milk powder, and the baby due to the growth and development stage, the purchase of whole milk powder will be more suitable. Skimmed milk powder has low fat content and low calories. For the special population, for example, those who are overweight and need nutrition, those who want to be slim, and those who are three tall.

2. Different fat content

Whole milk powder is made of milk or goat milk, which has a high nutritional value. Of 100 grams of milk powder, nearly 30 grams are animal fat. But the protein and carbohydrate in partial skimmed milk powder is only 1 / 3 of that of whole milk powder, and the fat content of whole skimmed milk powder is even less than 1%, and the calories are much lower.

3. Different taste and flavor

When the whole milk powder is adjusted to fresh milk, the surface of it will have a frothy milk scale, which is a mixture of fat and protein. In addition, the reason why milk has a special fragrance depends on the volatile components in fat. If there is no fat, the fragrance will be insufficient, and the milk will not taste. That is to say, without fat, the aroma and strong taste of milk will be greatly reduced.

4. Different production processes

Skimmed milk powder and whole milk powder are basically the same production process, but skimmed milk powder can be separated by milk separator through centrifugation to obtain cream and skimmed milk at the same time (its fat content is not more than 0.1%), while whole milk powder has no such process.

5. Different people

Whole milk powder contains the normal nutrients of milk powder, which is suitable for most people who need supplementary nutrition, especially children and teenagers. The lactose content of skimmed milk powder is higher than that of whole milk powder, so it has strong hygroscopic capacity. Once the milk powder is wet and large, it will change the colloidal state of protein and reduce the solubility. It is beneficial to the elderly, or the infants with dyspepsia, who often suffer from diarrhea, gallbladder disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic pancreatitis and other diseases.

The above is the difference between whole milk powder and skim milk powder. I hope it can help you. From the above we know that the whole milk powder is suitable for children and teenagers, the skimmed milk powder is suitable for the elderly, or the infants with dyspepsia, frequent diarrhea, patients with gallbladder disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic pancreatitis and other diseases.
