Important Points for Objective Market Milk

 Market Milk Important Points

Preheating refers to heating milk before operation.

The milk is preheated for efficient filtration and clarification.

As the temperature of the milk increases, the viscosity of milk decreases and more efficient filtration/clarification result.

The usual temp of preheating --------35-40

Equipment used for preheating--------Plate or Tubular heater.

To improve aesthetic quality of milk by removing visible foreign matter.

Two types of filters--------------1. cold filter 2. warm filter.

Milk is received in plant; it is chilled to 5 or below and stored cool till used.

Internal tubular cooler consists of stainless-steel tube about 2.5-5.0 cm. in diameter.

Cooling efficiency of internal tubular cooler is lower than plate cooler.

Insulator or refrigerated storage tanks-----5-7.5 cm of insulating material bent inner and outer lining; the space bent two lining is used for circulation of the cooling medium.

The term pasteurization has been coined after name of Louis Pasteur of France.

Pasteurization of milk first attributed to Dr. Soxhelt of Germany in 1886.

In Pasteurization destruction of 85-99% of spoilage organism.

Pasteurized milk will not clot with rennet.

Emerging Index organism for Pasteurization---------Listeria Monocytogens, Coxiella Brunetti

The cream line to cream volume is reduced progressively with increase in the temperature time of heating.

Which test is used to detect inadequate pasteurization-----Phosphates Test

Pasteurization temp of in-bottled pasteurization-----63-66 for 30 min.

Advantage of in-bottled pasteurization-----Prevent possibility of post pasteurization contamination.

As vat heating/cooling is rather slow and involves too much agitation causing churning and impairment of creaming properties, these operation can be efficient carried out by plate or tubular heat exchanger.

HTST pasteurization was first developed by A.P.V.Co. In the United Kingdom in1 992.

Sequence of HTST pasteurization system-----Balance tank>Pump>regenerative heating>regenerative cooling>cooling by chill water or brine.

Function of FCBT----maintain a constant head of milk for feeding the raw milk pump:also receive any sub temp milk diverted by FDV.

In HTST pump is fitted between-------- Regenerator and heater.

The PHE is also called Para flow.

Space between PHE plates--------3 mm

Normal pressure maintain in the HTST system are: Pasteurized milk—15psi Raw Milk---14 psi, Heating cooling medium----12-13 psi

The holding time is calculated between-----the point at which the heated milk is leave the heating section and reaches the FDV.

Which method is used for the determination of holding time----electrical conductivity method, the dye injection method, the electronic timer method.

Vacuum pasteurization/Vacreation----Pasteurization of milk/cream under reduced pressure by direct steam.

Vacreation process was first developed in New Zealand by M/s Murray Deodorizers Ltd.

Vacreation was designed to removed Feed and other volatile flavours from cream and pasteurized it for butter making

Stassanization is carried out in a tubular heat exchanger consisting of three concentric tubes.

Stassanization was first invented in France by Henri Stassano.

What is the principle behind the Stassanization-----Heating of milk to the desired temp by passing it between two water heated pipes through the narrow space of 0.6-0.8 mm.

Heating temp in Stassanization-----74 for 7 sec.

Ultra-high Tem Pasteurization----was developed in 1 950s.

Temp/time combine in ultra-high temp past-----1 35-1 50 (275-302 F) c for no hold.

Uperization this is itself a shortened form of the word Ultra Pasteurization’.

In Uperization the milk is heated with direct steam up to 1 50 (302 F) for fraction of second. It is continuous process.

Nitric acid may be used in not more than 1 % for stainless steel surfaces. 

Ex of polyphosphates and chelating chemicals------------------ Tetra phosphates, hexametaphosphates, tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates.

Surface active agents-------Teepol, Acinol-N, Idet-1 0, common soaps

Commonly used dairy sanitizers are-----steam, hot water, and chemicals (QAC, idophor)

The method of sanitization broadly consists of ---- flushing, spraying, brushing, fogging, sub immersion.

Who invented the Toned Milk----Dr. D.N khurody (India) first produced in 1946 in central Dairy of Aarey milk colony.
