Anhydrous Milk Fat

Anhydrous milk fat, also known as ‘Ghee’ or ‘clarified butter’, is a rich in fat dairy product. Butter is heated to evaporate all excess moisture and remove non-fat solids. It results in a very pure and concentrated form of dairy fat. It is used in the food and beverage manufacturing industry to improve flavor, texture, shelf life, and creaminess of products along with many culinary applications as well.

Application

Anhydrous milk fat has several applications in the food and beverage manufacturing industry. It is used in baking, confections, desserts, ice creams, sauces, and even meats to add flavor, texture, and creaminess. In addition, it is used in cooking for frying and sautéing. It is often used as a butter replacer as well, especially in applications where moisture content needs to be controlled or when a higher melting point is desired. It can even be used in infant formulas to provide a source of essential fatty acids that are similar to that of breast milk.
