Data for some physical properties of regular and instantised skim milk powder (SMP), whole milk powder (WMP) and fat-filled milk powder (FFMP) are presented; bulk density (packed, aerated, average and working), compressibility, angle of repose, dispersibility in air, particle size distribution (sieve analysis, coefficient of uniformity and distribution index) and reconstitution properties (wettability, dispersibility and solubility index). Aerated bulk density ranged from 0.30-0.62 g/cm3 compared with the range 0.44-0.85 g/cm3 for packed bulk density and compressibility ranged from 32-40%. Mean particle size (median value of cumulative distribution) ranged from 85 pm for regular SMPs to 230-250 |im for FFMPs. SMPs were more dispersible in air (18-20%) than the fat-containing powders (7-11%). The angle of repose ranged from 33?-38? for SMPs to 40?-58? for the fat-containing powders and in a pilot-scale conveying trial the skim powders were observed to be more flowable. In general, conveying under the experimental conditions did not result in particle size reduction and the reconstitution properties of the instant powders were not adversely affected.
