The average liquid milk on the market contains selenium up to 7.6 micrograms. Meanwhile, powdered milk contains about 6.3 micrograms of selenium. In addition, liquid milk is also richer in phosphorus than powdered milk. Selenium and phosphorus are nutrients that play a role in the formation of enzymes.

Meanwhile, the protein content of both is on average at 8 grams.

For children, this amount is 35% of daily needs. On the other hand, powdered milk contains around 227 mg of phosphorus. Why does the phosphorus content in powdered milk tend to be low? The main reason is because powdered milk has gone through a longer process than liquid milk.
