Buttermilk Powder

Functional buttermilk powder with a rich, creamy taste

Buttermilk Powder

MEGGLE buttermilk powder combines a rich, creamy taste with the functional properties of naturally occurring milk phospholipids. Produced from fresh, pasteurized sweet buttermilk from our own butter production, the powder provides a versatile dairy ingredient for sweet, savoury and bakery applications.

Its phospholipid content contributes to emulsification and dispersion, while its good solubility and uniform fat content support reliable processing and consistent product quality. Buttermilk powder can also be used as an alternative to skimmed milk powder in suitable formulations.

Natural dairy functionality with a rich taste

Buttermilk is a natural source of phospholipids. During butter production, the membranes surrounding the milk fat globules are disrupted, releasing phospholipids into the buttermilk. As a result, buttermilk contains a higher concentration of phospholipids than whole milk and skimmed milk.

MEGGLE buttermilk powder retains the characteristic properties of this valuable dairy ingredient. Its combination of phospholipids, solubility, emulsifying properties and rich creamy taste makes it suitable for a broad range of food applications.

Key characteristics include:

  • Naturally high phospholipid content
  • Rich and creamy taste
  • Good solubility
  • Emulsifying properties
  • Dispersibility
  • Uniform fat content
  • Functional contribution to formulation stability

The powder is manufactured by evaporation and spray drying, providing a convenient, easy-to-handle ingredient for food processing.
