Milk • Most comes from cows and has a layer of cream on top. • Can be homogenised by forcing milk through tiny holes under great pressure ,so the fat globules break down and cannot reform • Deteriorates quickly so its heat treated to extend its shelf life and kill bacteria. • All milk products unless dried and canned should be stored in the fridge.
Primary processing of milk Pasteurised • When milk is heated to 72C for 15 seconds and cooled rapidly to 10C or below • Skimmed milk is pasteurised with all the cream removed • Semi skimmed milk is pasteurised with some of the cream removed. • UHT milk is heated to 132-140C for 1 second before being cooled rapidly.
Primary processing of milk • Sterilised milk is homogenised, bottled, sealed and heated to 110C for 30minutes which alters the taste. • Dried milk is less bulky to store and keeps without needing to be refrigerated.
