The Dried Dairy Ingredient Handbook is designed to be an easy to use, quick source of information on the wide range of ingredients that can be made from milk and whey. The Handbook is intended only as a guide to dairy ingredients. Product manufacturing methods, composition and specifications will vary between producers. The guide describes what is typical for products. Some ingredients can be made from either milk or whey but they have been included in the section under the starting material most typically used. Information on products is given in several different formats reflecting the varied ways information on dry dairy products is conveyed. Graphs of product composition are on a total solids basis thereby allowing a quick comparison of components. Tables of product composition include moisture thereby reflecting what a customer would typically see for a bag of dry product. The table of typical composition and characteristics gives composition information in a format similar to the product composition table but protein is given on a dry basis.
