Production of milk powder

Milk Powder Production Process Flow Diagram

Purpose
To inform the audience of the detailed process of milk powder production. To expose to the audience on how does converting milk into milk powder helps in preserving food and making its shelf life longer for consumers.

Objective
Differentiate the nutritional values of two kinds of dairy products, namely milk and milk powder. Raise the health awareness of the audience. Exposed to the basic working principle and theory behind the production of milk powder.

1. Pasteurization:
Pasteurization or pasteurisation is a process of heating a food, which is usually a liquid, to a specific temperature for a predefined length of time and then immediately cooling it after it is removed from the heat. This process slows spoilage caused by microbial growth in the food.

1. Pasteurization:

2. evaporation:
Generally means to convert from liquid phase to vapor phase, or to draw moisture from, as by heating, leaving only the dry portion. This concept is used in the production of milk powder, whereby powdered milk is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness, reducing its moisture content.

2. evaporation:

3. spray-drying:
Dried by bringing a sprayed substance(usually in liquid form) into contact with hot air and recovering it in the form of a powder. All spray

dryers use some type of atomizer or spray nozzle to disperse the liquid or slurry into a controlled drop size spray.

3. spray-drying:

advantages:
Longer shelf life Reduce the weight and volume of the product Lower the cost of transportation Modified to contain certain vitamins for targeted growth

Disadvantages:
Less thick than raw milk Processed, contains preservatives

fun facts!!
Most cows give more milk when they listen to music. Milk is better for cooling your mouth after eating spicy food. The most precious kind of milk is mothers milk. This nourishes new-born babies until they are old enough to be weaned onto other foods. From birth to old age, theres no better recipe for a good nights sleep: a nice glass of warm milk.

conclusion:
3 major steps are involved in the milk powder production, namely pasteurization, evaporation, and spray drying. Preserves food quality and lengthens shelf life. Carried out in large scales in modern society. Safety concerns regarding the effectiveness of its additives are still raised.
