Q

Pasteurization

A
  • destroying pathogens in milk
  • common to use high temp for short time (72 degrees C for 15 s)
  • or use really high temp for 2 seconds (140 degrees C) to sterilize milk and have longer shelf life

Q

Churning

A
  • breaking down fat globules
  • agitate to incorporate air as foam –> whipped cream
  • keep agitating to break foam and get small granules of butter and liquid (buttermilk)
  • granules made of milkfat
  • ice cream: similar process + ice crystals + air + egg yolks (to help water and milk fat mix in emulsification)

Q

Acid Coagulation

A
  • to coagulate caseins in milk
  • milk caseins insoluble at pH = 4.6 (cows) and pH = 4.2 (goat) –> isoelectric point of casein
  • lowering pH to isoelectric point makes caseins coagulate

40
Q

Degree of Fatness

A
  • more fat, higher dressing %
41
Q

Muscling

A
  • more muscle (w/ comparable fatness) = higher dressing %
42
