The structure of instant skim milk and dried whole milk was studied by scanning electron microscopy with special respect to lactose crystallization during storage. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to confirm the crystallization. Some samples were ashed in a plasma asher and the residues were also examined by scanning electron microscopy. The structures of instant skim milk and dried whole milk particles were well-preserved after the ashing procedure.
