Buttermilk Powder

Buttermilk Powder: A Wholesome Ingredient with a Variety of Applications

Buttermilk powder formulations manufactured by All American Foods are designed for use in a wide variety of sweet cream buttermilk, high acid buttermilk, and cultured buttermilk applications.  These Pro Mix® ingredients continue to allow wholesome ingredients such as buttermilk to remain a reassuring presence on food labels. Typical dried buttermilk powders contain fixed levels of nutrients and are therefore often naturally over-engineered for most applications.  For over 30 years, Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations have been developed specifically for each application and contain only the nutrients and functional attributes essential to each application. This approach, along with our unique processing techniques, allows us to produce Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations that deliver exceptional quality and functionality, at the lowest cost-per-pound available.

Dried buttermilk powder products, substitutes and replacers (SCBM) manufactured by All American Foods are of the highest quality with low overhead costs.

The Benefits of Buttermilk Powder

Using dry buttermilk powder instead of fluid buttermilk makes transport and storage easier.  In addition, removing moisture from buttermilk inhibits microbial growth and increases shelf life to 12 to 18 months for buttermilk powder.

Functionality

Beyond concentrated calcium, protein, and other important nutrients, buttermilk powder brings several desirable properties to food formulations:

Browning/Color

Appealing for applications in baked goods or sauces, dairy proteins react with lactose and other reducing sugars during baking or cooking to produce a desirable browning effect.

Emulsification

Proteins in Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations act as oil/water interfaces, aiding in the formulation and stabilization of fat emulsions.  These properties are particularly useful in soups, baked goods, beverages and salad dressings.

Flavor

Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations are often used to enhance the dairy flavor of foods.

Foaming

Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations help distribute protein to an air/water interface, reducing surface tension and partially unfolding the protein. Encapsulated air bubbles form a stable and elastic film useful for creating desserts and cakes.

Water Binding

The water-holding capacity of Pro Mix® buttermilk powder formulations is used to create desired textures in viscous food products like soups and custards. In bread dough, this binding capacity helps prolong shelf life.
