Whole milk powder

cpc code 22211 covers the production and trade of whole milk powder, a vital dairy product with a wide range of applications. As a concentrated form of fresh milk, whole milk powder plays a crucial role in the global food industry, serving as a key ingredient in various food products and enabling the transportation and storage of dairy nutrients. This industry's importance extends beyond the food sector, as whole milk powder also finds use in the animal feed and pharmaceutical industries.

The production of whole milk powder involves the removal of water from fresh whole milk through a process of evaporation and drying. This process typically takes place in specialized facilities equipped with spray dryers or roller dryers, which efficiently extract the moisture content while preserving the nutritional properties of the milk. The resulting powder is then packaged and distributed for various commercial and industrial applications.

The main inputs required for the production of whole milk powder include raw whole milk, which serves as the primary ingredient. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as evaporators, spray dryers, and packaging materials, to facilitate the drying and packaging processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

The primary output of the whole milk powder industry is, of course, the whole milk powder itself. This product is widely used as an ingredient in the manufacture of 22222 Condensed milk, 22223 Milk-based infant formula, and various baked goods, confectionery, and dairy-based products. The industry's output may also be consumed by the 10910 Animal feed and 21200 Pharmaceutical sectors.
