Milk processing
Basic information

About the factory

The teaching and laboratory operation of milk and dairy processing will be focused on the real presentation of various technological procedures and production activities in the dairy industry. Students will learn how to process milk and produce dairy products such as cottage cheese, butter, cheese and yogurt. Raw materials produced on the school farm of the Czech University of Agriculture will be processed.

Milk processing
How do we do it?

Milk processing

In the curd production, students can observe the process of pasteurization of milk, learn how to work with milk cultures, get acquainted with the cheese-making process to achieve the final product. They will also produce farm fresh cheese - a fresh curd soft to semi-hard cheese that students will learn not only how to make, but also how to flavor with herbs and spices in different variations. The dairy section will also produce butter, in this production process students will learn how to skim cream, process butter in a butter churn and then hand pack the final product. Cottage cheese desserts or ice cream will also be made.

Within this section of the Training Centre, a sensory laboratory will be in operation to monitor the quality of production, where the quality and safety of the final product will be assessed.

Depending on the fat content, there are several types - low-fat yoghurts with a fat content of up to 0.5 %, reduced-fat yoghurts (0.5-3 % fat), classic yoghurts (more than 3 % fat) and creamy yoghurts. The latter group contains more than 10 % of fat.
JOGURT
Yoghurt is a fermented milk product and food of animal origin with a low pH and a relatively high protein content. It has a beneficial effect on the human intestinal microflora and is, together with acidophilus milk, the most important probiotic food. Yoghurt is produced by fermenting cow's milk with fermentation bacteria.
Depending on the fat content, there are several types - low-fat yoghurts with a fat content of up to 0.5 %, reduced-fat yoghurts (0.5-3 % fat), classic yoghurts (more than 3 % fat) and creamy yoghurts. The latter group contains more than 10 % of fat.
In addition to cottage cheese itself, this group includes products made from it - typically beer cheese, appetitost, panir, cottage or tvarůžky and homolky.
TVAROH
Cottage cheese is a creamy-tasting milk product with a stiffer consistency and usually white in colour. It is formed by the coagulation of casein, a milk protein. It refers to all unripened cheeses made from skimmed cow's or goat's milk. Cottage cheese is considered a healthy, filling and highly nutritious food.
In addition to cottage cheese itself, this group includes products made from it - typically beer cheese, appetitost, panir, cottage or tvarůžky and homolky.
In addition to the classic butter (fresh, table butter), we also distinguish between low-fat or reduced-fat butter.
BUTTER
Butter is also a dairy product. It is generally produced by concentrating milk fat (cream) and then reversing it in a water-in-oil emulsion. Conventional butter contains at least 80 % of milk fat, the rest being water and milk solids.
In addition to the classic butter (fresh, table butter), we also distinguish between low-fat or reduced-fat butter.

Whey is rich in vitamins and minerals, detoxifies and supports kidney function. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, H, C and E. The minerals are mainly magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium and zinc.
WHEY DRINK
Whey is formed by removing casein from milk, when the milk is curdled to form the solid component casein and the liquid component whey, also called milk serum.
Whey is rich in vitamins and minerals, detoxifies and supports kidney function. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, H, C and E. The minerals are mainly magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium and zinc.
