In module 4, we will be looking at the unit operations involved in fluid milk processing and dairy products manufacture.
The pasteurization process is critical to the safety of our dairy products.
We will see main dairy operations in fluid milk processing: separation, homogenization, and thermal processing (high temperature short time and vat pasteurization) for white milk products.
Higher heat thermal processes, flavored milks, filling and packaging are covered in Module 5 – Fluid Milk II.
After successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
Referred modules:
Further certificates using a themed track. If you completed the Basic Cert 1st you would only have to add from 1-4 modules for various add on Certificates. Conversely, if you completed and track-based certificate first you would get credit for 2-5 modules of the basic 12 already completed.
