TITLE
BATCH PASTEURIZATION PROCESS OF MILK
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this experiment is to understand the technique of batch pasteurization
using the batch pasteurizer and familiarize with the recombination process
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Distinguish the pasteurization technique for raw milk and milk products (C4, CTPS)
2. Demonstrate the recombination process for milk products (P4)
3. Collaborate with companion students both in experiments as well as in documentation
of the experiments (TS, A4)
INTRODUCTION
The batch pasteurization method uses a vat pasteurizer which consists of a jacketed vat
surrounded by either circulating water, steam or heating coils of water or steam. In the vat,
milk is heated to 63 °C and held (with agitation) for 30 minutes followed by rapid cooling.
The milk may be cooled in the vat or removed hot after the holding time is completed. The
milk may also be partially heated in tubular or plate heater before entering the vat. If a higher
temperature is used then the holding time is reduced accordingly. But the temperature is never
raised beyond 68.22 °C, as it causes the reduction of the cream line and induces certain
undesirable physical changes.
During the past 20 years, recombined milk manufacturing has developed considerably,
particularly in Southeast Asia, India and Latin America. The recombination technology offers
a number of advantages for countries where milk production is insufficient, whereby transport
5
and handling costs are considerably reduced and raw material storage cost is lower. Moreover,
this method encourages the development of local dairy industry and also the establishment of
packing centres. However, certain problems are involved, mainly a decrease in the
organoleptic quality of the recombined product. Many countries recombine milk from
skimmed milk powder and anhydrous milk fat (AMF). The recombined milk can also be
mixed with local raw milk. In both cases the product meets a certain amount of consumer
resistance because of the poor taste (Hardy, 1980; Ramet, 1978 and 1980).
APPARATUS
1. Balance
2. Batch pasteurizer
3. Particle size analyzer
PROCEDURE
1. Weight all the ingredients separately (3.0 % fat and 8.5 % SNF)
2. Heat the recombined milk in a vat to a temperature of 60°C.
3. Homogenize the milk in a homogenizer at 60°C.
4. Pasteurize the milk at the standard pasteurization temperature-time combination (63°C
for 30 minutes).
5. Cool the product immediately to below 5°C.
6. Fill the recombined milk in clean glass bottles.
6
ANALYSIS
1. Determine the fat droplet size and size distribution of milk before and after
homogenization using particle size analyzer. Compare the results with commercial
pasteurized milk.
2. Perform sensory evaluation on color, flavor and overall acceptability of the
pasteurized products using a 5-point hedonic scale (1 like extremely; 2 like
moderately; 3 neither like or dislike; 4 dislike moderately; 5 dislike extremely).
Compare with commercial pasteurized milk.
QUESTIONS
1. Differentiate between batch and high-temperature-short-time (HTST) pasteurization of
milk products.
2. Discuss the effect of homogenization of milk on milk fats and proteins.
3. Discuss the effect of pasteurization on milk fats and proteins.

PROCESSING OF YOGURT
OBJECTIVE
The main goal of this experiment is to compare the effects of two different yogurt processing
techniques on the physical properties and sensory attributes of yogurt.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Observe the significant difference between two different yogurt processing techniques
(namely acid and enzyme methods) by determining the physical properties and
sensory attributes of prepared yogurt (C4, CTPS)
2. Provide the practical experience/overview of yogurt production (P5)
3. Collect, analyze and evaluate the experimental data (C5, CTPS, A4)
4. Collaborate with companion students both in experiments as well as in documentation
of the experiments (TS, LS)
INTRODUCTION
Yoghurt is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of the
milk sugar (lactose) produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its
texture and its characteristic tang. All yoghurt must contain at least 8.25% solids not fat. Full
fat yogurt must contain not less than 3.25% milk fat, lowfat yogurt not more than 2% milk fat,
and nonfat yogurt less than 0.5% milk. The two styles of yogurt commonly found in the
grocery store are set type yogurt and swiss style yogurt. Set type yogurt is when the yogurt is
packaged with the fruit on the bottom of the cup and the yogurt on top. Swiss style yogurt is
when the fruit is blended into the yogurt prior to packaging.
9
It can be produced under the following methods:
PROCEDURE
i. Inoculum method
The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce
lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot, or form the
soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. The fermentation of lactose also produces the flavor
compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus are the only 2 cultures required by law to be present in yogurt. Other bacterial
cultures, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus subsp. casei, and Bifido-bacteria
may be added to yogurt as probiotic cultures. Probiotic cultures benefit human health by
improving lactose digestion, gastrointestinal function, and stimulating the immune system.

INTRODUCTION
Burger is a minced-meat based product. It is very popular among the young Malaysian
generation even though it is originally not an Asian food. Burger is accepted for its texture,
flavor and appearance. The type of seasonings used depends on the taste requirement, from
mild to hot and spicy. The texture of the burger is contributed by the type of meat, type of
binder, mixing time and other factors like cooking temperature and time. Substitution of the
main meat component will contribute to the change in texture of the burger produced. Soy
proteins are normally used in varying percentage of substitution to reduce the production
costs. The color of the patties is determined by the type of muscle use, muscle pH and patties
state prior to cooking. Burgers must always be kept frozen.

INTRODUCTION
Minced meat is a very versatile intermediate product. The minced fish meat can be used for
the processing of any surimi-based products such as balls, burgers, sausages, nuggets and
fingers. Currently, the surimi that is processed from minced meat is imported into Malaysia
from neighboring countries such as Thailand. Malaysia is a nation that consumes relatively
high quantity of these products. Therefore, we should be able to produce the surimi-based
products from both marine and fresh water fishes both of low or high fat contents, but, with
some modifications of several processing steps to meet basic requirements of producing stable
surimi. Well-processed surimi can be stable for several months without loosing its functional
20
properties. Color, moisture content and oxidative rancidity are among the common parameters
used to determine the stability of the products.

INTRODUCTION
Fruits and vegetables are food commodities that are perishable in their un-processed forms.
Their shelf life is very much dependent on the variety, stage of maturity and handling history.
However, more stable products can be produced from fruits and vegetables through
application of heating, concentration, drying, fermentation and acidification. For example,
juice are stabilized by the used of heat and acidifications. Pickles are examples of fermented
products. The quality of the end products are, however, dependent on the quality assurance of
practiced. Vacuum evaporation is commercially used to preserve aroma, color and minimize
vitamin losses.

INTRODUCTION
Bread is a staple foodstuff made and eaten in most countries around the world. Over the
centuries bakers have developed traditional bread using their accumulated knowledge as to
how to make best use of their available raw materials to achieve the desired bread quality. In
some countries the nature of bread making has retained its traditional form while in others it
has changed dramatically. The texture of bread depends heavily on the formation of gluten

also contribute to the formation of cellular crumb structure, which after baking confers
different texture and eating qualities compared to other baked products. In this experiment,
flours containing different amount of protein contents will be used for making sandwich bread

INTRODUCTION
Frying uses fats and oils as a heat transfer medium. When potato chips are cooked the
energy is transferred from the heated fat to the cooler surfaces o the chips. The moisture
initially evaporates from the food, dehydrating the surface and a crust is formed which then
seals in the water keeping the center moist and reducing uptake of oil. Frying increases
palatability due to fat absorption, crust formation, and the formation of pleasant flavors and
odors.
44
Frying is the cooking of food in oil or fat, a technique that originated in ancient Egypt
around 2500BC. Chemically, oils and fats are the same, differing only in melting point, but
the distinction is only made when needed. In commerce, many fats are called oils by custom,
e.g. palm oil and coconut oil, which are solid at room temperature. Fats can reach much
higher temperatures than water at normal atmospheric pressure. The food is cooked much
more quickly and has a characteristic crispness and texture. Depending on the food, the fat
will penetrate it to varying degrees, contributing richness, lubricity, and its own flavor. Frying
techniques vary in the amount of fat required, the cooking time, the type of cooking vessel
required, and the manipulation of the food. Sautéing, stir frying, pan frying, shallow frying,
and deep frying are all standard frying techniques. Stir frying involves frying quickly at very
high temperatures, requiring that the food be stirred continuously to prevent it from adhering
to the cooking surface and burning.
Shallow frying is a type of pan frying using only enough fat to immerse approximately
one-third to one-half of each piece of food; fat used in this technique is typically only used
once. Deep-frying, on the other hand, involves totally immersing the food in hot oil, which is
normally topped up and used several times before being disposed. Deep-frying is typically a
much more involved process, and may require specialized oils for optimal results. Deep frying
is now the basis of a very large and expanding world-wide industry. Fried products have
consumer appeal in all age groups, and the process is quick, can easily be made continuous
for mass production, and the food emerges sterile and dry, with a relatively long shelf life.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PROCESSING METHODS ON PHYSICAL AND SENSORY
PROPERTIES OF MAYONNAISE
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the effect of processing methods on physical
properties, sensory attributes and overall quality of mayonnaise.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Reveal the influence of preparation condition on the physicochemical properties and

2. Find the major critical operational factors and parameters affecting the overall quality
of mayonnaise (P5)
3. Collect, analyze and evaluate the experimental data (C5, CTPS, LL)

INTRODUCTION
Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy sauce or dressing that is made of oil, egg yolks, lemon
juice or vinegar, and seasonings. It’s not the same as salad dressing, which doesn’t contain
egg yolks and is generally sweeter than mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is an emulsion, which is a
mixture of two liquids that normally can’t be combined. Oil and water is the classic example.
Emulsifying is done by slowly adding one ingredient to another while simultaneously mixing
rapidly. This disperses and suspends tiny droplets of one liquid through another. However, the
two liquids would quickly separate again of an emulsifier were not added. Emulsifiers are
liaisons between the two liquids and serve to stabilize the mixture. Eggs and gelatin are
49
among the foods that contain emulsifiers. In mayonnaise, the emulsifier is egg yolk, which
contains lecithin, a fat emulsifier. Emulsions are colloids, heterogeneous mixture composed of
tiny particles suspended in another immiscible (unmixable) material. These particles are
larger than molecules, but less then one-thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm). Small
particles like this do not settle out and will pass right through filter paper. The particles in a
colloid can be solid, liquid or bubbles of gas. The medium that they are suspended in can be a
solid, liquid or gas (although gas colloids cannot be suspended in gas).
Mayonnaise can be made with an electric mixer, an electric blender, or a food
processor, or by hand with a whisk or fork. Mayonnaise is made by slowly adding oil to an
egg yolk, while whisking vigorously to disperse the oil. The oil and the water in yolks form a
base of the emulsion, while the lecithin from the yolks acts as the emulsifier that stabilizes it.
Additionally, a bit of mustard may also be added to sharpen its taste, and further stabilize the
emulsion. Mustard contains small amounts of lecithin. The traditional European recipe is
essentially the same as the basic one described above, but it uses top-quality olive oil and
sometimes vinegar or lemon juice. Some nouvelle cuisine recipes specify safflower oil. It is
considered essential to constantly beat the mayonnaise using a whisk while adding the olive
oil a drop at a time, fully incorporating the oil before adding the next tablespoon. Experienced
cooks can judge when the mayonnaise is done by the emulsion's resistance to the beating
action. Mayonnaise made this way may taste strong or sharp to people accustomed to
commercial products.
Homemade mayonnaise can approach 85% fat before the emulsion breaks down;
commercial mayonnaises are more typically 70-80% fat. "Low fat" mayonnaise products
contain starches, cellulose gel, or other ingredients to simulate the texture of real mayonnaise.
Some homemade recipes use the whole egg, including the white. It can also be made using
solely egg whites, with no yolks at all, if it is done at high speed in a food processor. The
resulting texture appears to be the same, and—if seasoned, for example, with salt, pepper,
mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and a little paprika—the taste is similar to traditional
mayonnaise made with egg yolks. Commercial producers either pasteurize the yolks, freeze
them and substitute water for most of their liquid, or use other emulsifiers. For homemade
mayonnaise it is recommended using the freshest eggs possible. Some stores sell pasteurized
eggs for home use. The eggs can also be coddled in 170°F (77°C) water, after which the hot
50
yolks, now slightly cooked, are removed from the whites. Homemade mayonnaise will
generally only keep under refrigeration for three to four days.
PROCEDURE
1. In each of the following methods make a paste of mustard in a little water before
using.
2. Method I
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wire whip for 10 minutes.
3. Method II
Mix the mustard paste, salt, water, vinegar and egg yolk in a pan using a spoon. Add
the oil to the mixing bowl and with the mixer running at high speed; slowly add the
mixture from the pan. Continue mixing for 5 more minutes.
4. Method III
Add the egg yolks to the mixing bowl and blend thoroughly at medium speed. IN a
separate container blend the mustard paste, ¾ water, ¾ vinegar and the salt. Stir until
the salt is dissolved. Add this mixture to the egg yolks and blend at medium speed for
2-3 minutes with a wire whip. At this points slowly add the oil and increase to high
speed. This is critical point of forming the emulsion. The total time for adding the oil
should be about 15 minutes at high speed:
51
- During the first five minutes add 10-15% of the oil. The first addition should
be small and gradual. Wait about 30 sec between additions.
- During the next five minutes add about 50% of the oil.
- During the last five minutes add the remaining oil.
Gradually add the remaining vinegar and water while mixing for about one minute at
medium speed.
Mix an additional minute at low speed.
ANALYSIS
1. Record the following information for each sample: Appearance – color, opacity and
shine.
2. Type of emulsion:
a. To determine the type of emulsion place tip of stir into mayonnaise and then
swirl in about 105 ml of tap water. Water-in-oil emulsions will float on the top
of tap water. Otherwise, oil-in-water emulsions will mix in and turn tap water
cloudy.
3. Apparent viscosity:
a. Measure viscosity of prepared mayonnaise using a viscometer.
QUESTIONS
1. Which mayonnaise has the higher and lowest consistency / viscosity? Why?
2. Which mayonnaise are water-in-oil emulsions? Which are oil-in-water emulsions?
