Production Process of Cheese Powder

The extensive Cheese Powder production cost report consists of the major industrial production processes:

• From Cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or blue cheese):  In the production of cheese powder, the selected cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or blue cheese) is ground or shredded into smaller pieces. After the cheese is dehydrated for the removal of moisture content. Dehydration of cheese can be achieved either by drying the block of cheese before grinding or by spray-drying the liquid cheese mix into a hot air chamber for quick drying. Once the cheese is dried, it is further ground into a fine powder. In addition to that further processing may be applied to the powder to enhance its shelf life and stability by adding anti-caking agents, emulsifying agents, etc.

Cheese powder retains the original cheese's proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. It usually has an acidic pH (5.1 to 5.9), low moisture content (2-5%), and high protein (20-40%) and fat content (10-50%). The addition of anti-caking agents makes it free-flowing and non-clumping due to Its color ranging from pale yellow to orange. It easily rehydrates in liquids, offering an enhanced cheese flavor and aroma.
