Book Description

Excerpt from Dairy Technology: A Treatise on the City Milk Supply, Milk as a Food, Ice Cream Making, by-Products of the Creamery and Cheesery, Fermented Milks, Condensed and Evaporated Milks, Milk Powder, Renovated Butter and Oleomargarine The manufacture of butter and cheese has been carried on by man from time immemorial. But there are uses of milk and its products that are comparatively new. Modem man has invented and discovered many ways of increasing the commercial value of milk and its products by using them for a great variety of purposes. These uses for milk are here grouped together and treated under the one head - "Dairy Technology." This subject treats of the production and preparation of sanitary, certified, modified, fermented, dried and condensed milks, the manufacture of ice cream, renovated butter, oleomargarine, milk sugar, casein, etc. At the present time information on these subjects is widely scattered and somewhat indefinite. It is the purpose of this work to give experiences and results of work carried on by the authors; to secure from bulletins, papers, addresses, and other sources, reliable data dealing with these subjects; and to compile and arrange this material in such manner as to be a ready reference for the student of this phase of dairying. The authors realize that many of the subjects treated are in the midst of a transitional period. Future experiments are likely to add valuable information. The writers have endeavored to obtain the best possible present information along the various hues discussed, and they hope to make changes and additions as rapidly as the authentic information can be secured.
