Description
Skimmed Milk has a liquid form and white color. It has a typical smell and taste of a pasteurized milk product, without foreign odors.
Skimming the milk usually takes place in a centrifuge, where fat clusters are separated from the more liquid part of the milk, which is then collected. In effect, the final product is milk with fat content reduced to 0.05% or less, but with the preservation of most nutrients.
Pasteurization of the product is conducted by heating the milk to at least 71.5°C for 15 to 20 seconds and then cooling it abruptly to 10°C, or less. This process ensures that the product is deprived of any pathogens or unwanted bacteria. A phosphatase test is used to verify that the process was conducted correctly.
