Milk
• precise componentsof raw milk vary by species and by a
number of other factors, but it contains significant amounts
of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C
• Cow's milk has a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, making it
slightly acidic
• gross composition of cow's milk in the U.S. is 87.7% water,
4.9% lactose (carbohydrate), 3.4% fat, 3.3% protein, and
0.7% minerals (referred to as ash)
• Milk composition varies depending on the species (cow,
goat, sheep), breed (Holstein, Jersey), the animal's feed,
and the stage of lactation

Milk
• Water –87% (lactose, glucose)
• Protein – 3.5% (casein)
• Fat – 3.9%
• Carbohydrate – 4.9%
• Ash – 0.7% (calcium, iron)
• Vit B, pantothenic acid, riboflavin
• pH of fresh milk is 6.6
• If pH falls below 4.6, casein ppts
• Liquid – whey
4.
Processing
• Cream
• Cheese
•Butter
• Whole fresh milk – Skim milk (0.5% fat)
• Produced by high speed centrifugation
following heating to 100°F to remove butter
fat and cream
• Pasteurized (65.5-68.3°C)and cooled to 4C
5.
• Evaporated milk– removal of 60% water
• Sweetened condensed milk – addition of
glucose or sucrose before evaporation
• Sugar content of 54% - 64%
• Chocolate milk
• Fermented milks
6.
Pasteurization
• Objective isdestruction of all disease causing microorganisms by heating
• Endospores of C. botulinum, B. cereus not destroyed
• LTLT – low temp long time- 63C for 30min
- Done by batch method
• HTST – high temp short time – 72C for 15s
- Done by flash method
• UHT – ultra high temperature
• 135- 140 C for few seconds
- Commercially sterile
- Thermodurics – Enterococcus, Streotococcus, Microbacterium,
Lactobacillus, Mycobacterium, Corynebacterium and sporeformers survive
7.
Fermented products
• Startercultures
• Added to modify aroma and texture
• LAB are commonly used but not the only starters
• Some starters will produce acid
• Propionibacterium shermanii in swiss cheese
• Some starters will coagulate proteins
• – Thickening of yogurt by Streptococcus thermophilus
and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus
• Some starters will produce a specific aroma
• Penicillium roquefortii in roquefort cheese
Fermented products -spoilage
• Cheeses
• Microbial spoilage limited by combined effect of
salt, acid and bacterial activity
• Some cheeses may permit growth of anaerobic
sporeformers, causing gassy spoilage
• Fresh cheeses have a pH >5.0 and aw >0.9
• therefore may be spoiled by Gram-negative
psychrotrophic bacteria
• Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Alcaligenes
10.
Fermented Milks
• Mesophilicmilk fermentations
• acid produced through microbial activity-protein
denaturation
• inoculate milk with the desired starter culture ; optimum
temperature (approximately 20 to 30°C), and
• then stops microbial growth by cooling
• Lactobacillus spp. ,Lactococcus lactis - aroma and acid
production.
• The organism Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetilactis converts
• milk citrate to diacetyl- buttery flavor
• skim milk produces cultured buttermilk,
• when cream is used -sour cream
11.
• Buttermilk- Pasteurisedlow fat/skim milk
• Streptococcus lactis-
• 20-22 degree cel
• Till 0.8-0.9 % acidity, pH 4.6
14.
• Thermophilic- attemperatures around 43-
45°C.
• Yogurt -starter culture - 1:1 ratio: S.
thermophilus and L. bulgaricus.
15.
yogurt
• Homogenized milk(12% TS) + stabilizer (l %).- give desired gel
structure.
• Heated to 185°F (85°C) for 30 min. -cooled to llOoF (43.3°C)
• helps destroy vegetative microbes and slightly destabilize casein for
good gel formation.
• Starter added, incubated at (43.3°C) to pH 4.8 for ca. 6 h, acidity ca.
0.9%.
• Quickly cooled to 85°F(~30C)in ca. 30 min to slow down further starter
growth and acid production, especially by Lactobacillus species,
agitated, and pumped to filler machine.
• Packaged in containers, and cooled by forced air to 40°F (4.4°C).
• Final cooling by forced air results in a rapid drop in temperature to
stop the growth of starters.
• Held for 24 h; pH drops to 4.3.
probiotics
• Microbes indiet- dietery adjunct-health benefits-
control of diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease,
anticancer, immunomodulation ,Stabilize
intestinal microflora
• Acidophilus milk- Lactobacillus acidophilus-
stabilize the bowel microflora, antimicrobial
properties, minimizing lactose intolerance,
lowering serum cholesterol, and possibly
anticancer activity- colon cancer
18.
Probiotics
• Consumable productthat contains live
organisms that are beneficial to consumers
• Ingestion of live organisms – yogurt,
fermented milk
• Inhibitory effect for pathogens
• pH reduction, bacteriocins, organic acid
toxicity
Prebiotics
• Not microorganismsbut they are substrates for indigenous
probiotic- type bacteria that reside in the colon
• Substrates are nondigestible as they pass through small
intestine
• Oligosaccharides – fructooligosaccharides eg. Inulin
• Metabolized by bifidobacteria and anaerobic lactobacilli
(colon)
• Can be added to number of food types that do not support
cell viability over long periods of time
• Bifidobacterium
• nonsporing,gram-positive rods that may be club-
shaped or forked at the end, nonmotile, anaerobic,
and ferment lactose and other sugars to acetic and
lactic acids.
• They are typical residents of the human intestinal
tract- maintain the normal intestinal balance, while
improving lactose tolerance; to antitumorigenic
activity; and to reduce serum cholesterol Levels,
promote calcium absorption, synthesis of B-
complex vitamins,reduce or prevent the excretion
of rotaviruses, a cause of diarrhea among children
25.
• Yeast-lactic fermentations-kefir, a product with an
ethanol concentration of up to 2%.
• foamy and frothy, due to active CO2
• fresh milk + Kefir “grains” - inoculum-coagulated lumps
of casein that contain yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, and
acetic acid bacteria
• contain a water soluble polysaccharide known
as kefiran, which imparts a rope-like texture and
feeling in the mouth
• Originally,- leather sacks hung by the front door during
the day, and passersby were expected to push and
knead the sack to mix and stimulate the fermentation.

Fermented Milk Products
•Kumiss
• traditionally made from mare's milk
• produced from a liquid starter culture, in
contrast to the solid kefir "grains“
• Because mare's milk contains more sugars
than the cow's or goat's milk fermented into
kefir, kumis has a higher, though still
mild, alcohol content – 2%
• Mold-lactic fermentation– viili
• milk + a mixture of the fungus Geotrichium
candidum and lactic acidbacteria
• cream rises to the surface, and after
incubation at 18 to 20°C for 24 hours, lactic
acid reaches a concentration of0.9%.
• The fungus forms a velvety layer across the
top
