ABSTRACT
Milk treatment is the preparation of raw milk, including heat treatment as a precondition for milk processing. The treatment of milk is done in the preparation room. It is a basic process in each dairy plant, as all of the milk is submitted to this technological process. Milk processing is the quality-oriented activity of manufacturing and packing of dairy and dairy-based products on the basis of treated milk. This chapter focuses on milk processing, all process activities and steps as well as the required machines, instruments and lines as well as the technology used in milk processing. Cream processing lines can be attached to the milk processing lines, and their capacity is in line with that of the milk processing lines. In case of an interruption on one line, milk processing can be completed on the other line on the same day.
