dairy processing

Dairy processing involves taking raw milk from farms and transforming it into various dairy products through cleaning, pasteurization, separation, fermentation, and packaging. The milk is first cleaned and heated to kill harmful bacteria (pasteurization), then separated to extract cream or other components. It may be fermented to make products like yogurt or cheese, or further processed into butter, skim milk, or powdered milk. These processes ensure the products are safe, have desired textures and flavors, and are preserved for longer shelf-life. Overall, dairy processing turns raw milk into a variety of nutritious, safe dairy goods for consumer use.
