Question

Storage of homogenized milk may lead to which of the following development?

(a) Sediment development

(b) Fat development

(c) Protein development

(d) Cream layer development

I have been asked this question in semester exam.

This is a very interesting question from Homogenizer in portion Building Blocks of Dairy Processing of Dairy Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Sediment development

The explanation: Homogenized milk may develop dark sediment at the bottom of the container after standing for 24 h. Sedimentation in homogenized milk is due to the settling of cells, foreign matter and casein particles. In unhomogenized milk, these particles are usually held by the fat globules.
