Dry dairy ingredients

Prepared Foods, Oct, 2001

Dry dairy ingredients, such as nonfat dry milk (NDM), whey proteins or dry sweet whey, may provide superior foam stability, good solubility and clean flavors to dry coffee, tea and cocoa drinks. Preliminary research adding whey proteins to milk used for frothing and foaming in coffeehouses shows that the addition of one percent WPC 80 (whey protein 80%) to milk reduced mean foam dissipation after five minutes.

In another area, studies have shown that dry cocoa mixes, which traditionally have lacked a rich flavor, also benefit from dry dairy ingredients.
