An interesting comparison would be powdered milk
(reconstituted) vs. fresh milk. Fresh milk is colloidal
whereas dried milk does not resuspend to colloids,
according to Searle (p. 21-22.) Maybe this accounts
for the difference in taste between fresh milk and
powdered milk.

Incidentally, Searle mentions that lact-albumen 
in fresh milk has
a protective (in the colloidal sense) effect on
therapeutic colloids. Maybe this is a method of making
mild silver protein (MSP.)
