Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a dry foodstuff powder containing fats, proteins and carbohydrates characterised in that a fat-free dispersion is formed of protein originating from foodstuff and of water, which dispersion contains carbohydrates and foodstuff supplements such as mineral substances, vitamins and flavoring materials, and in which protein accounts for at least 60% of the solids content and carbohydrates account for at most 35% of the solids content and into which dispersion is emulsified 1/3 to 1 part by weight of edible oil per 1 part by weight of protein, the emulsion then being dried whilst avoiding heating to above 65.degree.C, and the product being converted to a powder. The foodstuff powder obtained by the inventive process, whilst having a relatively high protein content and low carbohydrate content, is pleasant to consume, without causing revulsion.
