Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) – A Cost-Effective Alternative to Whole Milk Powder

Introduction

Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) is a functional and economical alternative to Whole Milk Powder (WMP), widely used in global food production. By combining skimmed milk powder with high-quality vegetable fats, FFMP delivers taste, solubility, and creaminess similar to milk fat, but at a significantly lower cost. This makes it an essential ingredient for food manufacturers in developing and price-sensitive markets.

 

What is FFMP?

FFMP is produced by blending skimmed milk powder (SMP) with refined vegetable fats, typically palm oil, followed by spray drying. The result is a stable, free-flowing powder with good solubility, excellent flavor, and consistent nutritional value. It is available in various fat levels (typically 26–28%) to match different applications.

 

Applications of FFMP

  • Bakery & Confectionery – enhances browning, texture, and taste in biscuits, cakes, and chocolates.

  • Dairy Recombination – used to produce recombined milk, yogurts, and dairy beverages.

  • Ice Cream & Desserts – delivers creaminess and flavor at reduced cost.

  • Ready Meals & Sauces – improves viscosity and mouthfeel.

  • Foodservice – used in coffee whiteners, tea creamers, and instant beverages.

 

Key Benefits

  • Cost-effective alternative to whole milk powder.

  • Good solubility and easy handling.
