Milk Powder is used in a wide array of applications. It is used in the preparation of infant’s formula and confectionaries like caramel candy and chocolate. It is also used in the preparation of famous Indian desserts Gulab Jamun and Chum-Chum. In food aid supplies for war struck countries, it is a common item since fresh milk is not a feasible option.
