Information about Malted Milk

For the type of biscuit, see .
Malted milk is malted barley, wheat flour, and whole milk, evaporated into a powder.

Malt powder comes in two forms: diastatic and non-diastatic.
  • Diastatic malt contains enzymes that break down starch into sugar; this is the form bakers add to bread dough to help the yeast rise and create a good crust.
  • Non-diastatic malt has no active enzymes and is used primarily for flavor, mostly in beverages. It sometimes contains sugar, coloring agents, and other additives.

History

Malted milk was first marketed as Aged Milk by James and William Horlick, brothers from Gloucestershire, who founded Horlicks in Chicago in 1873. William Horlick received United States patent 278,967 for it ten years later. The drink was originally manufactured as an artificial infant food because of its taste. It became better known in the USA as the basis for malted milkshakes, which were popularized in 1922 by a soda jerk at a Walgreens drug store in Chicago. Today, malted milk is found in a variety of foods, including a chocolate candy confection known as malted milk balls, and malted waffles and pancakes.

Malted milk powder was distributed in the 1950s by Carnation. Years later Carnation was purchased by Nestle, the chocolate manufacturer. The powder is still distributed and manufactured today.

In many crime dramas malted milk serves as a primary constituent in stage blood.
