Dry Milk Powder?

[azamuner73]

I'm just curious, why are some people using dry milk powder in their brine/marinade?  Does it impart any particular flavor or is it an binding agent in some way?

Non fat dry milk acts as a flavor enhancer. you can also use apple sauce

Very cool.  I guess I'll have to use it then.  

I just realized I may be crossing over on recipes here.  I see the dry milk powder is used in sausage making but do you use it in jerky making as well?

You can use it in ground meat jerky.
