Centrifugation

StarStarStarStar

A process which involves spinning milk at high speeds to separate components based on density, such as skimming cream from milk.

StarStarStarStar

Homogenization

StarStarStarStar

A mechanical process used to break down fat molecules in milk so that they stay integrated rather than separating as cream.

StarStarStarStar

Lactose Crystallization

StarStarStarStar

A process used in the production of lactose-free milk products involving the addition of the enzyme lactase to break down lactose into glucose and galactose.

StarStarStarStar

Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) Processing

StarStarStarStar

A processing technique that heats milk to a temperature exceeding 135°C for a few seconds, yielding a product that can be stored for long periods without refrigeration.

StarStarStarStar

Microfiltration

StarStarStarStar

A specialized form of filtration with pores small enough to remove microorganisms from milk without affecting its flavor or nutritional content.

StarStarStarStar

Pasteurization

StarStarStarStar

The process of heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period of time to kill harmful bacteria without affecting its nutritional value.

StarStarStarStar

Thermalization

StarStarStarStar

A mild heat treatment process, less intense than pasteurization, designed to reduce the number of spoilage organisms and increase milk's shelf life.

StarStarStarStar

Filtration

StarStarStarStar

A method where milk is forced through a membrane to remove bacteria and spores, often used in combination with other methods to extend shelf life.
