The dairy sector continues to be at the forefront of innovation in food processing. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Dairy processing: improving quality reviews key developments and their impact on product safety and quality

Part 1 The first two chapters provide a foundation for the rest of the book, summarizing the latest research on the constituents of milk and reviewing how agricultural practice influences the quality of raw milk. This is followed by three chapters on key aspects of safety: good hygienic practice, improvements in pasteurization and sterilization, and the use of modeling to assess the effectiveness of pasteurization. A final sequence of chapters in Part 1 discuss aspects of product quality, from flavor, texture, shelf-life and authenticity to the increasingly important area of functional dairy products.
