Flowchart of Milk Manufacturing Process

This document provides an overview of the milk production process from raw materials to finished products. It begins with healthy cows being milked by hand or machine and the raw milk immediately being cooled. The raw milk then undergoes quality control testing before being stored and delivered to a processing plant. At the plant, the milk undergoes separation, standardization, homogenization, and pasteurization. It can then be packaged as milk, cream, or skimmed milk. Advanced processes like UHT involve pre-heating, high-temperature short-term sterilization, cooling, and aseptic filling to produce long-life sterilized milk products.
