Dairy powders are used in a wide range of consumer products including baby formula, confectionery, baking, and nutritional supplements.  Processing perishable liquid whey or raw milk into shelf-stable powders is an energy-intensive, multi-step process with many possible end-products. Each product calls for very specific levels of fat, carbohydrates (mostly in the form of lactose), and protein (casein and whey proteins), and most are sold based on tightly-regulated quality parameters.

NeoSpectra analyzers offer rapid analysis of dairy powders with no sample preparation required. The ability to test for moisture, fat, carbohydrates, and protein quickly and frequently provides the insight needed to optimize the process, save drying and energy costs, ensure product consistency and maximize yield.
