Recombined milk is a product produced from milk powder which is rehydrated. GEA Liquid Processing specialises in the processing of dairy products. GEA Liquid Processing can supply components and complete processing lines perfectly suited for the production of recombined milk products.
Recombined milk is produced from milk powder. Through this process, all types of milk products can be produced. Although recombined milk does not taste the same as fresh milk, it is a cheaper product.
The Market
Recombined milk is a product with a market in places which do not have access to fresh milk. An example of this could be the Middle East. The need for adequate refrigeration in these areas, which because of the weather can be expensive, makes such a product well-suited to such a market.
The Process
The milk powder used is produced through extracting the water in the milk to produce a powder. This has obvious advantages for the transportation of the powder over long distances. When the powder reaches its destination water is added to rehydrate it. Unlike reconstituted milk, in which the milk fat is already mixed in with the milk powder, milk fat also needs to be added to the powder and the water in the production of recombined milk. As this is a process of mixing, it is important that accurate dosing and mixing of the ingredients is observed so as to produce the best possible product.
