Test 2 Flashcards
Types of cows that produce milk
Jersey, Guernsey, Brown & Holstein
Other animals that make milk
Buffalo, Camels, Sheep, Goats, Yak, Deer
Milk alternatives
Almond, Rice, Soy, Coconut, Hemp
Cow cycle of birthing
Mother cow gives birth between 1 and 3 years old. Calf nurses for 1 week then calf is fed formula of soy and reconstituted milk. Mother is then milked for 10 months and then given 2 months to rest and then bred again
pH of raw milk
6.5-6.7 (slightly acidic)
Nutrients in raw milk
protein, fat, and carbohydrate, vitamins A, E, D and riboflavin (B2)
What two major proteins are in milk
Whey and casein
Carbohydrate in milk
Lactose which breaks down to glucose and galactose
Fat in milk
Stored as globules, encased by phospholipids
Resilient to heat but not freezing
What percent of milk is casein
80%
What percent of milk is whey
20%
Casein protein
Curdle or coagulate in acids, precipitates out of solution
Whey protein
Remains suspended in liquid with acids
Leftover from cheese making
As pH nears 5.5 what happens to casein
it precipitates out
Health promotion benefits
Manufacturers isolate milk proteins
Add them to products to ↑ nutritional value
Examples of proteins that have been isolated
Milk protein concentrates
Whey protein isolate
Hydrolyzed whey protein
Whey permeate
What does raw milk contain that is valued in cheese making
white blood cells
Mammary gland cells
Bacteria
Active enzymes
Aroma of milk
Short chain fatty acids
Specific to animal
Goat and sheep offer unique fatty acids
Heating/cooking milk
produces sulfur and green leaf aromas
Heating milk above 170 degrees
vanilla, almond, butter
*check in book
Boiling milk
Maillard reactions
Butterscotch flavors
Maillard reactions
a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned foods their desirable flavor
What can also affect aromas and flavor of milk
age
What flavor/aroma does hay and silage give milk
cheese smell
What flavor/aroma does a lush pasture give milk
sweet, fruit smells (raspberry)
Batch pasteurization
(Low temp long time)
145 for 30-35 minutes
High temp, short time pasteurization (HTST)
heated and held at a minimum of 161 degrees F for 15 seconds
Ultra High Temperature (UHT)
Heated to 280 for 2-3 seconds
Packaged under sterile technique, has long shelf life (months without refrigeration)
Some proteins & enzymes destroyed, affecting whipping, cheese production
What is the sterile packaging that ultra high temperature is packaged in
Aseptic packaging
Sterilized milk
Heated to 280-302⁰F for 2-6 seconds
Keeps indefinitely at room temperature
What is the goal of homogenization
Keep fat molecules dispersed
Process of homogenization
Hot milk pumped at high pressure through small nozzles
Fat globules broken from 4 to 1 micrometers
Broken fat globules stick to milk casein
does pasteurization or homogenization occur first
Pasteurization occurs prior to or at same time as homogenization
What percent of whole milk is fat
3.5-4%
What percent of low fat milk is fat
1-2%
What percent of skim milk is fat
.1-.5%
Fortification
Vitamin A and vitamin D added
Acidophius
lactobacillus acidophilus added
Lactaid
milk treated with lactase
Dried or powdered milk
Low fat milk, pasteurized
90% of moisture evaporated, spray dried
Keeps for several months
Concentrated milks
Condensed or evaporated milk: milk heated to 110-140⁰F in vacuum, under pressure
Homogenized and sterilized
Sweetened, condensed : table sugar added (55%)
Plant based milks
Nut Based: Almond or Coconut Milk
Legume Based: Soy Milk
Seed Based: Hemp Milk
Grain Based: Rice or Oat Milk
Example of a nut based milk
almond or coconut milk
Example of a legume based milk
soy milk
Example of a seed based milk
hemp milk
Example of a grain based milk
rice or oat milk
Why scald milk
To kill bacteria (now is done by pasteurization) Destroys enzymes (done via pasteurization now) *Denatures proteins & changes interactions during cooking or baking* ---Would kill wild yeast & bacteria present after pasteurization
What is scalding milk
Skin at top concentrated casein, calcium, whey
Other proteins concentrated at bottom
Negative reactions in cooking milk
- old milk will curdle (in hot coffee/tea)
- Acids & tannins curdle milk
Which fat content milk curdles faster
Low fat milk products
