Die neueren Milchindustrien

Abstract

THIS volume deals with the industrial aspect of milk production. After a brief account of the composition of milk and a description of the chief chemical and bacteriological methods which are used in its examination, the production and supply of clean milk are considered. Attention is directed to the milking machine, the cleaning of the vessels in which milk is transported, and the bacterial content of milk. The supply of milk to towns is an important chapter, and whilst it is agreed that fresh raw milk is the ideal food for children and adults, provided it can be obtained of low bacterial content and free from dirt, it is held to be impossible, on account of the cost, in present circumstances to provide such milk for the main body of the population. Pasteurisation and the three main systems are described, and two methods, other than by heat, for the removal of bacteria are described.
