Unfortunately, all, or at least most of them, focus on one ortw osubject s only.Thi s form of specialization has divert ed attention from the interaction of the various technical and technological aspects of milk handling, milk processing and related subjects. Therei sa grea t need for a hand book covering the basicso f dairy chemistry, physicsan d microbiology, in combination with the handling of milk at farm level, the collection and quality control of milk, and the processing of milk into various products, especially for countries inth e tropics and subtropics that are developing a dairy industry.
