Electrical technique concentrates milk without using heat, challenging traditional preservation methods

Electrical technique concentrates milk without using heat, challenging traditional preservation methods
Key Points

Dehydrating milk to turn it into powder is, today, an energy-intensive process that subjects the product to high temperatures. Powdered milk is widely used by the food industry and allows the product to be stored and transported in a stable condition for long periods of time without the need for refrigeration. While industrial methods are effective, they have high energy costs and can alter heat-sensitive components, such as whey proteins, enzymes or vitamins.
