Fresh
milk undergoes the process "Pasteurization".
Where milk is pumped through a plate heat
exchanger to be indirectly heated-up to 72°c-75°c
and kept at this temperature for 15-20sec.
Before being indirectly cooled-down to 4°c.
Temperature
and time of "Pasteurization" are
very important factors to Guarantee the destruction
of all pathogenic bacteria and most of microorganisms
in milk without the milk being damaged.
During
"Pasteurization" milk fat is standardized
and homogenized. The purpose of standardization
is to give the milk a defined, guaranteed
fat content. The purpose of homogenization
is to finely distribute the fat globules in
the milk to reduce creaming and sensitivity
to fat oxidation and give more full-bodied
flavour, better mouth feel.
