This course gives an overview of the processing technology from raw milk to consumption milk. At first properties of the raw milk are studied followed by all technological aspects of the processing. Production processes are discussed via flow charts.
Via this course the students get ready for an executive function in the production of a dairy company.
The aim of the experiments in the pilot plant is to learn students to correlate process parameters, results of physicochemical and microbiological analysis and quality of the end product with each other as well as to impart students with the function and the control of different apparatus and the production processes of dairy products.
Topics
