Condensed Milk and Milk Powder: Prepared for the Use of Milk Condenseries, Dairy Students and Pure Food Departments (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Condensed Milk and Milk Powder: Prepared for the Use of Milk Condenseries, Dairy Students and Pure Food DepartmentsThis book treats of the various phases of the condensed milk and powdered milk industry. It discusses every step in the process of manufacture, following the milk from the farmer's door to the finished product in the pantry of the consumer. The processes of condensing and desiccating milk, skim milk, buttermilk and whey are given special attention and the defects of the product, their causes and prevention are explained in detail.The inception of this publication is the result of innumerable and persistent calls for definite and reliable information on the subject of condensed milk and milk powder, from manufacturers in this country and in foreign lands; from parties contemplating embarking in the business; from national and state experiment stations which are oftentimes called upon to investigate condensed milk defects; from dairy schools desiring to give instruction on the subject; from national and state pure food departments, seeking information concerning the possibilities and limitations of manufacture, in their efforts to formulate and enforce standards and laws; and from commercial chemists in need of reliable methods of analyses of these special dairy products.The information contained in this volume represents the authors experience, covering a period of twelve years, in the practical manufacture of condensed milk, as expert advisor to milk condensing concerns in the United States, Canada and Australia, and as visitor of condensed milk and milk powder factories in this country and in Europe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
