Non-dairy creamer, also known as creamer, is a new product with refined vegetable oil or hydrogenated vegetable oil and casein as the main raw materials. This product plays a special role in food production and processing, and it is also a modern food.
The difference between creamer and milk powder
Milk powder is directly spray-dried from natural fresh milk. As a natural agricultural and livestock product, it has a certain standard proportion, and it is not allowed to add anything else (except flavored milk powder and functional milk powder). And "creamer" is a general term for many products used in coffee, and more refers to the artificial modulation of non-dairy creamer.
When milk or milk powder is used in coffee, its purpose is to whiten, thicken, increase smoothness and neutralize bitterness, it is a kind of "creamer".
However, although the non-dairy creamer used in the same coffee use is also a kind of "creamer", it can be tailored without a certain standard ratio. It is mainly synthesized from hydrogenated vegetable oil, sugar and casein, supplemented by emulsifier, stabilizer, essence and pigment.
Generally, the nutritional value of non-dairy creamer used for coffee is much lower than that of milk powder, but there are also non-dairy creamers specially used for baby milk powder, which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid without hydrogenation.
