OF MILK In
homogenized milk the fat globules are broken up and distributed so that they no
longer rise to form a creamy layer at the top of the milk bottle. The
nutritional value of such milk is similar to that of pasteurized
milk. In
skimmed milk almost all of its fat is removed. Semi-skimmed milk contains only
1.5 per cent of fat. Pasteurization
of milk is a form of heat treatment when milk is heated to about 72 deg C for 15
seconds, and all disease-causing bacteria are destroyed. Sterilized
milk is prepared from homogenized milk which is bottled and then
heated
to about 120 deg C for about an hour. During this process about 60 per cent of
the
vitamin C and 20 per cent of the thiamin are destroyed. Evaporated
milk is prepared by the concentration of liquid milk at low temperatures. The
milk is sterilized in cans at 115 deg C for 15 minutes. The nutrient
losses
are similar to those in sterilized milk. To
improve the keeping quality of liquid milk, various heat treatments can be
used.
The fat, fat-soluble vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals of milk are usually
not affected by heat. The vitamins in milk which are partially destroyed by heat
processing are vitamin C, thiamin, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, and folic
acid. GRAMMAR

Do you want to know more about milk processing? Then read the text “What are the
steps in milk processing?” and name the main technological processes in milk
processing. What new names of the processes did you learn
about? WHAT
ARE THE STEPS IN MILK PROCESSING? 1.
In
most cases, milk processing begins in a dairy. A dairy is a type of farm devoted
to raising and tending cattle in order to use them by milking. After the milk is
collected, it goes through a process of clarification and separation, after
which it it fortified with vitamins. Once fortified, the milk must be
pasteurized with vitamins and homogenized, processes that kill bacteria and
reduce the amount of fat content. Once these procedures are complete, the milk
is ready to be packaged and sold. 2.
On
most dairy farms, cows are milked twice per day. Milking is done using vacuum
equipment that transfers the milk to refrigerated holding tanks. This milk is
later collected by refrigerated trucks that transfer the milk to a processing
facility. Before transport, the drivers check to be sure that the milk in the
refrigerated tanks is suitable
for use, a process normally done by testing temperature and flavor. When the
truck
arrives at the processing plant, milk is pumped from the truck into tanks that
will hold the milk ready for the separation and clarifying process. 3.
Clarification
is a step in milk processing that ensures the milk will be free of bacteria and
debris. Milk is put into large vats that continually spin. The spinning causes
the milk to separate from debris and floating bits of bacteria. After
clarification is completed, the milk is spun once again to separate heavier and
lighter milks. Heavier milks might be used for butter, cream or buttermilk,
while lighter milks are reserved for the majority of table milks. 4. The
next step in milk processing is typically fortifying with vitamins. Most of
the
time, vitamins A and D are pumped into the milk in carefully measured amounts.
Once the vitamins are in the milk, it is ready to be pasteurized. Pasteurization
is an added step that helps kill any remaining bacteria present in the milk.
Pasteurization is usually
done by heating the milk as it passes through steel pipes. 5.
Homogenizing
is a step in milk processing that eliminates some of the remaining milk fat.
This is done by using heat to reduce the size of fat particles. Without
homogenization, fat particles would eventually separate from the milk and float
to the top. 6.
The
final step in milk processing is putting the milk into retail containers. Some
of the containers may be paper cartons, while others are plastic jugs. Most
countries require that milk containers be stamped with dated to indicate their
shelf life. Once the containers are ready for shipping, they are sent to
distribution warehouses where they are kept refrigerated until they are
delivered to grocery stores.
