Read and Digest
Part 1 The first two chapters provide a foundation for the rest of the book, summarising the latest research on the constituents of milk and reviewing how agricultural practice influences the quality of raw milk. This is followed by three chapters on key aspects of safety: good hygienic practice, improvements in pasteurisation and sterilisation, and the use of modelling to assess the effectiveness of pasteurisation. A final sequence of chapters in Part 1 discuss aspects of product quality, from flavour, texture, shelf-life and authenticity to the increasingly important area of functional dairy products.
Part 2 reviews some of the major technological advances in the sector. The first two chapters discuss developments in on-line control of process efficiency and product quality. They are followed by chapters on new technologies to improve qualities such as shelf-life, including high pressure processing, drying and the production of powdered dairy products, and the use of dissolved carbon dioxide to extend the shelf-life of milk.
Part 3 looks in more detail at key advances in cheese manufacture.
Dairy processing: improving quality will be a standard reference for the dairy industry in improving process efficiency and product quality.
