About the Book

This new volume aims to provide an understanding of the manufacturing processes of milk products and the structural, physicochemical, and compositional changes that occur during manufacturing and storage of milk products. It also addresses the various reactions that can happen during processing and storage of dairy products and their impact on quality.

Milk and milk products are highly nutritious mediums, yet their low acidity provides favorable environment for growth of pathogenic and spoilage causing organisms. This volume covers methods for inactivating or killing these organisms and thus elongating the shelf-life and quality of milk products. It looks at various types of treatments including thermal and nonthermal technologies. While these treatments guarantee the microbiologically safety of milk and milk products, they can also simultaneously cause changes in nutritional quality, physicochemical changes, compositional changes, causing different reactions and formation of numerous types of components.

This volume covers the constituents and chemistry of milk and milk products, the physicochemical properties of milk and milk products, the therapeutic characteristics of milk and milk products, and then goes on to present specialized processing methods for milk and milk products. It presents sound knowledge of raw milk composition, mineral constituents in milk, and manufacturing process of butter and ice cream. It also covers the physicochemical changes and compositional changes occurring during manufacturing and storage of milk, concentrated milk, butter, butter oil and ice cream. Also discussed are the therapeutic characteristics of fermented milk and milk products, milk-derived bioactive peptides, and potential aspects of whey proteins in dairy products. Specialized methods such as proteolysis in ultra-high temperature (UHT), heat and acid coagulation of milk products, processing and characteristics of dry dairy milk powders, and methods to monitor pesticide residues in milk and milk products have also been evaluated.

The Chemistry of Milk and Milk Products: Physicochemical Properties, Therapeutic Characteristics, and Processing Methods will be helpful for dairy science teaching staff and advanced students, researchers, and industrial personnel interested in theoretical and practical knowledge about changes in physicochemical, compositional properties and heat induced changes occurs during manufacturing and storage of dairy products, not just in improving the quality and performance of dairy products but also in a much wider context.
