Permeate powder is a food ingredient derived from milk or dairy sources. It is produced by removing most of the lactose and minerals (such as calcium and potassium) from milk or whey through a filtration process, leaving behind a concentrated and dried powder. Permeate powder is valued for enhancing the taste, texture, and flavor of various food products, making it a versatile ingredient in the food industry. Its use has grown in popularity as a cost-effective and flavor-enhancing ingredient in many processed foods.
