Dairy processing copied
Dairy products and processing involves several key steps. Raw milk is stored and processed which includes cleaning, homogenization, heat treatment like pasteurization, and chilling. This ensures safety and extends shelf life. Fermented dairy involves biological transformation by bacteria to produce items like yogurt and cheese. For cheese, the curd is coagulated, cooked, drained, pressed, and aged to develop flavor and texture over time. Whey is a byproduct that can be further processed into powder or other products. Strict standards and controls throughout production help provide consumers with safe, high quality dairy.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Today we are we are going to discuss the processes used to turn raw milk into dairy products and describe how these processes affect their microbial, chemical, and sensory the quality. We will be covering…
- #4 Shelf life can be evaluated in three ways: microbial tests sensory evaluation, and biochemical tests, but for the purposes of this lecture we will use a more broad definition: Where do these definitions come from? Present the PMO
- #5 The PHS and FDA (a law enforcement agency) has set up set of rules that when followed will ensure sefety and maximize quality of dairy products, they are known as the PMO. These are rules that are enforceable by law, however, they are not strictly enforced. Now that we know some of the definitions and where they come from, let’s look at the process of making fluid milk.
- #6 One continuous theme throughout this process is Temperature Control. Whether it’s low temperatures to slow microbial growth or high temperatures to decrease risk of pathogens surviving. Bacteria are ubiquitous in the dairy environment there is no silver bullet to eliminate spoilage and contamination but, we can control temperature practice proper sanitation optimize quality and reduce health risks.
- #7 The first step in the process starts off with raw milk collections and cold storage, and the PMO has specifications for the chemical, microbial quality as well as temperature limits. (Research has suggested that the numbers of bacteria present are critical, because the bacteria are capable of sensing each other (referred to quorum sensing) and it has been shown that they produce the bad enzymes when they reach specific levels. Therefore it is wise to keep them low at all times.)
- #8 What are the bacteria that limit shelf-life? We mentioned some of these the other day. Some of these enzymes are exquisitely resistant to heat. They have been isolated from UHT milk (Law, 1979). I saw a paper that showed that 10,000 active units of a lipase produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens would only be reduced to 1,000 units if treated at 110°C for 17 min (Vercet, 1997). Pasteurization as I’ll describe in a few minutes is 72°C for 15 seconds. It can’t touch this enzyme. And these enzymes don’t need the bacteria to be around to be active. The bacteria produces them and excretes them into the milk in order to break down the proteins and fat as food source. The spore formers are as resistant as the enzymes and in some cases the heat treatment of pasteurization revives spores from their dormant state. So the strategy is to minimize contamination with bacteria by following the sanitary regulations laid out by the PMO, and control temperature to minimize growth.
- #9 One temperature treatment that is used to control bacterial numbers is Thermization. I mentioned this last week. It turns out to be more more common in Europe than in the US. 135-155°F 40°C
- #10 Once the milk has been collected, cooled, and transported to the processing plant, it is first clarified,and that means all particulate matter is removed. This takes advantage of the different densities of the particulates and the milk matrix; essentially a decanting process. Can be quiescent (settling out) or removal by centrifugation. Centrifugal force is used to remove bacteria and their spores. Re. Microfiltration: the tradeoff is that it takes a lot of energy to pump the milk through these small membranes.
- #11 This process takes advantage of the fact that milk is composed of 2 phases with different densities. DRAW diagram. Centrifugal force is used to separate these two phases. A pairing-disc separator is used and it is essentially a cone with a series of baffles that spins around and the skim which is more dense than the cream (or fat) moves to the outside of the cone and is collected through little openings and pooled together. The cream which is less dense moves inward toward the apex of the cone and along the axis of rotation and is collected through a channel at the tip. These two components form streams are then mixed in specific ratios depending upon the product being processed. The exact amounts are monitored using IR analysis which controls the valves that connect the 2 streams.
- #12 We’ve used centrifugal force to separate these two phases, and now we need to use some force to put them back together, which is the process of homogenization. Regarding color mention why skim milk is not as white as whole milk.
- #13 Shear force smashes the fat globules into smaller particles.
- #14 Pasteurization was engineered to minimze the risk of survival of the most thermally resistant pathogen. This organism is Coxiella Burnettii. It was not designed to extend shelf-life, however it does significantly reduce the number of spoilage organisms present. Remember that there are enzymes and spores that will remain active. The temperature has to be recorded so that there is a record that the process is achieving the lethality that it was designed to achieve.
- #15 So the record shows that pasteurization has been quite effective with respect to safety. What are the standards regarding the quality of milk?
- #17 UHT milk you’ve seen at the supermarket, Parmalat for example. Shelf-stable; also referred to as commercially stable. Long shelf-life but has cooked flavors
- #19 The packaging can have a major effect on the quality of milk.
- #20 So this processing allows for the production of a consistent product, has a positive overall effect on safety, and extends shelf-life. The extent to which shelf-life is improved is dependent upon the quality of the raw product, the conditions under which it is processed that is temperature control, and post process handling with the goal to minimize contamination and maintain low storage temperatures. We use packaging materials to minimize the negative effects of light oxidation.
- #22 Cheese making is a very old process It is both a science and an art Due to the natural variation in milk between cows and regions, and the different micrflora found in those environments, many different types of cheeses have evolved. They can classified into 6 major groups based on their texture and ripening
- #23 Cheeses are classified based on their textures and the kind of ripening ie. bacteria or mold, on the surface or in interior. For example: soft cheeses… semisoft cheeses such as Munster are ripened by bacteria within the cheese matrix whereas Limburger is ripened by bacteria within and on the surface. Blue cheese is ripened by mold on the interior Raw milk cheeses need to be aged a minimum of 60 days however there is data suggesting that pathogens may be able to survive this ageing process. The down side of pasteurized milk cheeses is that they may lack sensory properties that only the natural microflora can provide. We are going to focus on the cheddar cheese process as to model the cheese making process.
- #24 Through out each of these stepe we are conditioning the cheese such that it less susceptbile to spoilage and less likely to support the survival of pathogens. We do this by continuously removing water, in the for of whey, or binding it up so that the “bad” bacteria don’t have access to it. Chemical changes also inhibit growth such as the addition of salt, and the production of lactic acid .
- #29 Sweet whey has greater value because subsequent products made from it have better flavor and color
