Organic Buttermilk Powder

Organic buttermilk powder is a dried form of buttermilk, a byproduct of butter production. It is made by pasteurizing liquid buttermilk, then drying it through processes like spray drying to create a fine powder. This powder retains many of the beneficial properties of liquid buttermilk.

Manufacturers use organic buttermilk powder as a flavoring agent and to add a tangy taste and creamy texture to foods. It also functions as an emulsifier and leavening agent in baked goods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, baked goods, snack foods, and dairy-based mixes.

Organic buttermilk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated buttermilk powder. Typical consumption in food products is not associated with adverse health effects.
