Q

What is the process of sterilising milk?

A

Heating at 113-130 oC for 10-30 SECS
To kill bacteria and allow to be kept for months unopened

25
Q

What is the process of UHT milk (ultra heat treated)?

A

Heated at 135oC for 1 sec
Kills bacteria and can be kept for months unopened

26
Q

What is the process of dried milk?

A

All water is remove from milk

Increased shelf life but changes consistency

27
Q

What is the process of evaporate milk?

A

60% of water is removed and then tinned

28
Q

What is the process of condensed milk?

A

Evaporated and sweeten then tinned

29
Q

How is butter made industrially?

A
  1. Pasteurised milk is churned to thicken it
  2. Buttermilk is then drained off
  3. Butter then mixed
  4. Wrapped and chilled
30
Q

How is butter made domestically?

A
  1. Double cream is shaken
    (As agitated fat globules collide breaking protein molecules)
  2. Buttermilk is drained off
  3. Shaped and chilled
31
Q

How is milk turned into cream?

A

Milk is whipped allowing fat to collide breaking protein coatings making them merge together. One half attracts to water and the other half attracts to fat so air becomes trapped.

32
Q

How is milk turned into yoghurt?

A
  1. Milk is pasteurised (72oC for 15 secs) to destroy harmful bacteria.
  2. Then it’s homogenised to distribute the fat evenly throughout the milk.
  3. Milk then incubated
  4. Lactobacillus (harmless bacteria) is added, to help change the lactose in milk to lactic acid
    (Lactic acid denatures proteins causing milk to coagulate and thicken)
  5. Yoghurt left to sit until it reaches the correct pH and flavours are affected
33
Q

How is milk turned into cheese

A
  1. Milk is pasteurised (72oC for 15 secs)
  2. The bacteria (lactobacilli) is added to set proteins curdling the milk
  3. Rennet is then added to help separation
  4. Milk changes into curds and whey
  5. The whey is drained off and curds pressed
  6. Cheese is left to mature
34
Q

Examples of home preservation methods?

A

Bottle (veg and fruit e.g kimchi)
Jam (fruit)
Pickling (veg, eggs, fish)
Freezing (anything but watery products)
Drying (herbs)
Salting (cheese, fish)

35
Q

Examples of industrial preservation methods?
