Milk is a vital component of human nutrition. It's tasty, easy to digest, and nutrient-dense. Proteins, fat, sugar, minerals, and a variety of vitamins are all present in large amounts. India is only second to the United States of America and the Soviet Union in terms of milk production in the world. However, India's milk production is insufficient to meet the needs of its huge population, as daily average intake per person is less than half of the ideal requirement of roughly 310 grammes.
Fresh milk products, concentrates, and dried goods are all available as options for milk and milk products. Fresh milk and concentrates can be substituted with milk powders. Converting liquid dairy streams to powder provides a handy and steady supply of milk solids.
