Whole Milk Powder — Turkish spray-dried production

Manufacturer• Turkey

Mirel Süt is a Turkish dairy powder plant in Ereğli, Konya. Its official website publishes separate annual production capacities for milk powder, whey powder, full-fat cream and clarified butter (sadeyağ). Production is based on evaporating pasteurised cow's milk to raise its dry matter, then spray-drying it into whole or skimmed milk powder with the characteristic creamy to pale-yellow colour of the product. The plant also produces demineralised whey powder in three grades — 50%, 70% and 90% — by removing a defined share of the minerals from cheese whey before drying. The range is aimed at dairy, ice cream, biscuit and chocolate manufacturers, where these powders act as a semi-finished ingredient contributing aroma, body and texture.
