What if the milk powder is not easy to dissolve? What if the milk powder is not easy to dissolve?

Milk powder is a nutritious drink that everyone is familiar with. Many people have the habit of drinking milk powder. Milk powder has high nutritional value and has many benefits to our body. Sometimes when we make milk powder, we will find that some milk powder is not easy to dissolve.

1. The difficulty of milk powder dissolving may be affected by water temperature and water quality

Water temperature, stirring and water hardness will affect the mixing of milk powder. If the water temperature and stirring are not good, the milk powder will not dissolve (Note: if the mixing water temperature is too high, it will easily cause the protein in the milk powder to denature, and denatured protein particles will appear in the milk liquid). This will cause sediment on the wall of the bottle. After the milk powder is completely dissolved and cooled, some fat nutrients will precipitate and adhere to the wall of the bottle. This is the fat substance in the milk powder, which is not a problem. The insoluble sediment at the bottom is not other impurities and will not pose any health and safety risks to the baby.

2. The milk powder is not easy to dissolve, maybe because maltodextrin is not added

The ingredients that play an instant dissolving role in milk powder include maltodextrin and sucrose. Maltodextrin is made from starch, which is acted on by biological enzymes and then refined by spray drying. Adding maltodextrin to dairy products can expand the volume of the product, make it less likely to agglomerate, dissolve quickly, and have good mixing properties, which can extend the shelf life of the product while reducing costs and improving economic benefits. The solubility of milk powder without maltodextrin is significantly worse than that of milk powder with this ingredient. The high solubility of milk powder can indeed save trouble, but this is only an external sensory indicator of milk powder and does not mean that the milk powder has better nutritional content, especially formula milk powder.

3. The difficulty of dissolving milk powder may be due to the size of the milk powder molecules.

The size of milk powder molecules will also affect the preparation of milk powder. Milk powder with large particles is better soluble, while small particles are not easy to dissolve. Therefore, mothers should be careful when buying milk powder, because milk powder produced in different batches has differences in particle size and fluffiness.

4. The difficulty in dissolving milk powder may be a characteristic of formula milk powder

Formula milk powder contains high levels of active substances, such as casein phosphopeptide (CPP), α-lactalbumin, active probiotics, high-quality DHA, etc. In order to ensure its nutritional activity, it is mixed into the milk powder by dry method, so it may dissolve slowly and have white spots on the bottle wall and bottom. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the quality of the milk powder. When preparing milk powder, you can use water of appropriate temperature, or add some water to dissolve it first, and then add to the required amount. These are all helpful for the complete dissolution of milk powder.

Many ingredients in the milk powder that babies drink are insoluble in water, such as protein and fat. When the milk powder is completely dissolved and cooled, there will be a lot of particles sticking to the bottle. This is okay, as it is the fat in the milk powder. When mixing milk powder, there will be some particles, which is fine. They are insoluble substances and will not have any bad effects. If parents use water with too high a temperature to mix milk powder for their babies, it is very easy to form "lump"-like milk powder clumps, which will float on the surface of the milk after standing still, making it impossible for the milk powder to fully dissolve. Parents should pay more attention to the water temperature at ordinary times, not too high or too low, so as to avoid the insolubility of milk powder.

Many people like to eat dry milk powder very much, because it has a strong taste, sweet and delicious. Many people scoop a spoonful of milk powder into their mouths when they are hungry, which is delicious and can satisfy hunger. However, eating milk powder dry will lead to excessive intake of sugar. In addition, eating milk powder dry can easily cause getting angry, and many people will experience constipation. Not only eating milk powder dry, but also some milk tablets should not be eaten too much in summer. Everyone has already understood the problem of what to do if milk powder is not easy to dissolve. Parents should also pay special attention to the choice of milk powder. They should choose milk powder suitable for their baby and not choose blindly. They should choose some regular milk powder brands so that the baby's nutrition can be absorbed. They should also pay attention to the water temperature and density of the baby's milk powder.

Other common problems with milk powder

1. Why are there lumps in milk powder?

During the transportation of milk powder, the powder particles of milk powder will generate static electricity due to friction with each other, so the powder particles of milk powder will clump together. After opening the can, you will find that the milk powder is in a small clumping shape. This is not agglomeration, so don't worry. As long as you gently push it with a spoon, the milk powder will immediately become a smooth powder. Its nutritional content and quality are not affected. Please feel free to eat it. It should be noted that after opening the milk powder, it must be sealed and stored. Try not to put the spoon in the milk powder bucket, because the spoon is easy to be stained with water vapor when weighing the milk powder.

2. Why does milk powder have a fishy smell?

In infant formula, this fishy smell comes from the added DHA. As we all know, DHA promotes the development of babies. DHA is mostly extracted from fish oil or seaweed, so it is normal for mothers to smell the fishy smell.
