 Preservation is the processing of food in a special way in order to protect it from spoilage. A wide range of canned milk products are currently on sale. In the manufacture of canned milk, the volume of the product is reduced and its preservation improves.
Condensed sterilized milk without sugar, condensed milk with sugar, whole and skimmed milk powder are on sale.
Condensed sterilized milk without sugar. This product is fresh cow's milk from which about 60% of the water is removed by heating in a vacuum evaporator at 54 ° C. After evaporation, the milk is homogenized, while the fat globules are crushed and their diameter reduced. Then, through a narrow opening in the lid, milk is poured into jars, which are immediately hermetically sealed and sterilized at a temperature of about 116 ° C.
Condensed sterilized milk can be stored in an unopened can for a long time, but after opening the can, it requires the same handling as fresh milk. When labeling canned milk, it is common to indicate how much water must be added to the contents of the can to replace the water that was removed during the manufacture of the product.
Condensed milk, like fresh milk, is a rich source of vitamins A and B2. These two vitamins are thermally stable and are not destroyed during the production of condensed sterilized milk.
Thanks to the homogenization and sterilization of condensed milk at high temperatures, a delicate curd is formed that is very easy to digest. Therefore, condensed sterilized milk is recommended for baby food.
With sufficient dilution, condensed sterilized milk can replace fresh milk, and with a small dilution, it can be used instead of cream.
Condensed milk with sugar... It differs from condensed sterilized milk in its properties and nutritional value, since it is sweetened. It is obtained by removing about 60% of water from whole milk by evaporation and adding cane sugar at the rate of 17 kg per 100 kg of original milk. Because of the added sugar, sweetened condensed milk cannot be reconstituted into whole milk, which limits its use.
Powdered milk... Usually it is made from fat-free, although whole is also on sale. In the production of all types of dry milk products, free moisture is removed by thickening and drying the finished product. The final mass fraction of moisture in products varies, depending on their type, from 1.5 to 5%.
The dry product retains the taste and smell of milk, in addition, almost all proteins, carbohydrates and minerals, as well as some of the vitamins contained in fresh milk. Whole milk powder also contains fats and vitamins soluble in it.
When receiving reconstituted milk, you should strictly follow the recommendations on the package.
