Milk and Dairy Products Flashcards

1
Q

Homogenisation

A

Milk is heated to 60°C forced under pressure through tiny valves.
This breaks up the fat globules into smaller fat droplets which are distributed evenly throughout the milk

Q

Butter production

A
  1. Cream is pasteurised then chilled
  2. It’s churned until the fat particles clump together into granules seperating from the buttermilk, which is drained off
  3. Salt is added and the butter is worked to distribute the salt
  4. It is weighed and packaged in foil, grease proof wrapping or in plastic containers
    Labelling includes: type of butter, BBD, storage, ingredients and nutritional indo

26
Q

Production of cream

A
  1. Milk is heated to 50°C
  2. Upper cream layer is then separated from the lower layer of skimmed milk by centrifugal force
  3. The cream is heat-treated using pasteurisation, sterilisation or UHT
  4. Cream is sealed into cartons and labelled
    Type, BBD, storage
27
Q

Types of cream

A

Double cream
Whipping cream
Single cream
Cooking cream
Sour cream

28
Q

What is buttermilk

A

A by product of butter production, it’s an acidic liquid used in bread making and baking

29
Q

Production of yogurt

A
  1. Whole, low fat or skimmed milk is homogenised
  2. It’s pasteurised at 90°C to kill bacteria then cooled to 37°C
  3. A culture called lactobacillus Bulgarians is added, which is then incubated (37°C) for 6-8 hours to allow FERMENTATION to occur. Lactose changes to lactic acidosis and milk proteins coagulates. This thickens the yogurt
  4. Yogurt is cooked and other ingredients such as flavours, colourings, fruit and nuts are added to it
  5. The yogurt is packaged for sale in sealed cartons or jars
    Labelled with type, BBD, ingredients and storage
30
Q

Fermentation

Q

Irish farmhouse cheeses

A

Speciality foods.

42
Q

Production of cheese (ADDED VALUE FOOD)

A
  1. Culture of lactic acid bacteria is added to pasteurised milk. Changes lactose to lactic acid.
  2. Milk is heated to 30°C and rennet is added. Rennet contains the enzyme rennin which coagulates milk protein.
  3. After 30-45 mins the mixture has separated into curds and whey
  4. Curds are chopped, releasing more whey, which is drained off (cottage cheese here)
