As we have studied earlier, that it is essential to keep the milk cool soon after milking till it reaches the processing plant. At the milk plant it may be (i) processed for distribution in fluid form as market milk, or (ii) converted into various products.In either case, it is required to be subjected to certain basic treatments before further processing.
The treatments that milk is required to undergo at a dairy plant include filtration or clarification, separation and standardization. These are aimed at purification and compositional modification of the milk. In the present unit we shall discuss the objectives of such treatments, and ways and means of carrying out the same.Clarification and separation of milk are, in practice, achieved by centrifugation of milk (in specially designed centrifugal machines.certain other centrifugation-based processes such as ‘bactofugation’ and ‘clarifixation’ relevant to milk processing will also be briefly discussed in this unit.
