Milk, powder, cow, skim

Australian produced cows skim milk powder. Prepared by removing the majority of water and fat from full cream milk and then drying.

Proximates (except ash and moisture), vitamins (except ACAR, CRYP and vitamin C) and minerals (except I) are averaged from samples analysed in 1988/89 by AGAL (composite of 6 varieties- Norco, 2x Carnation, Devondale, Bonlac and Diploma- from Australia, purchased from 1 outlet in Sydney) and samples of Australian skim instant and non-instant milk powder as reported by the ADC (1999). Carbohydrates expressed as a sum total in ADC samples. Ash, ACAR, CRYP and vitamin C were determined only in the AGAL sample. Moisture was averaged from a second 1989 AGAL analysis (composite of 5 varieties- Dutch Jug, Norco Streamline, H.V., Diploma and Carnation- from Australia, purchased from 1 outlet in Sydney), the ADC and Arcot (2005). Folate was derived from a composite of 6 purchases (1x Sunshine, 1x Diploma, 2x Home Brand, 2x Savings for skim milk) purchased in Sydney in March 2005 (Arcot 2005). Fatty acid profile was imputed from regular fat milk. I, Ca and P were determined in a composite of 8 purchases (2x Country Grove, 1x Black & Gold, 1x Diploma, 1x Coles, 3x Diploma) purchased in Melbourne in 2005. Dietary fibre was imputed.
