This document discusses milk processing operations such as pasteurization, homogenization, and cream separation. It provides details on: - Pasteurization methods including low temperature long time (LTLT), high temperature short time (HTST), and ultra high temperature (UHT) processing. - Homogenization which breaks down milk fat globules to reduce creaminess and improve digestion. - Cream separation techniques using gravity or centrifugal force to separate higher density cream from lower density skim milk. - Other operations like standardization, mixing of ingredients, and packaging are also briefly covered. The document provides an overview of key milk processing steps and techniques.

5. -:INTRODUCTION:-
Milk is a unique in that it is both consumed,
as fluid milk with minimal processing and it is the raw
material used to manufacture a wide variety of
product.
Definition
Milk may be defined as the whole, fresh, clean, lacteal
secretion obtained by the complete milking of one or
more healthy milch animals, excluding that obtained
within 15 day before or 15 days after calving or such
periods as may be necessary to render the milk
practically colostrums-free and containing the
minimum prescribed percentages of milk fat and
milk-solid-not-fat.

15. PASTEURIZATION
Pasteurization is the process and applied to market
milk today. Milk are heating at least 630
C for 30
minutes, or 72°C for 15 second.
After pasteurization ,the milk is immediately cooled to
5°C or below.

16. History of pasteurization
1. Pasteurization term is first time used by
Louis Pasteur in 20 April 1862.and
eliminate bacteria in wines
2. The pasteurization of milk was adopted
in 1895.

17. Method of Pasteurization
1. Low temperature long time (LTLT)
2. High temperature short time (HTST)
3. Ultra high temperature (UHT)

18. 1. LTLT: Low temperature long time
this method commonly know as Batch or Holding
method of pasteurization and ideal temperature is
63C for 30 minute(Milk)
2. HTST: High temperature short time.
This method is know as continuous
process of pasteurization and is 72C for 15
second.
3. UHT: Ultra high temperature. This
process was developed in 1950.and
temperature are provide 135C to 150 C for
one second

20. Effect of
homogenization on milk
1.1. Increased the viscosity of Milk.Increased the viscosity of Milk.
2.2. Reduced the milk curd tension.Reduced the milk curd tension.
3.3. More creamier structure, bland flavor.More creamier structure, bland flavor.

21. Merits & Demerits of Homogenization
Merits:
1. No formation of cream layer
2. Produces soft curd and better digested
3. More palatable to brighter appearance
Demerits:
1. Increased cost of production
2. Greater tendency for milk
3. Curdling in cookery

22. CREAM SEPRATIONCREAM SEPRATION
