SKIM MILK POWDER

Skim Milk Powder is a dried milk derivative with most of the fat removed. It is a creamish white powder and easily dissolves in water. It is employed as a nutrient source for microbial growth, in microbiology. The powder consists of proteins, lactose, minerals, and other natural components which provide nutrition to various microorganisms. When incorporated into culture media, it provides the nutrients necessary for cell growth and metabolism. Microorganisms present in dairy products can use these nutrients and replicate in a controlled environment. For this reason, skim milk powder is commonly used in media designed for cultivation and enumeration of microorganisms encountered in the dairy industry. It is used by researchers and the quality control laboratory to examine the microbial populations on milk and dairy products.
