  • CONDENSED and DESICCATED MILK, Milk Is a Bulky Product, Expensive to Transport, and Very Suscep
    CONDENSED AND DESICCATED MILK, By LEVI WELLS, Dairy Inspector, Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry. INTRODUCTION. Milk is a bulky product, expensive to transport, and very suscep- tible to contamination, which in a short time renders it unpalatable. In its natural state it contains al^out 87 per cent of water, which is a comparatively worthless constituent. ' Efforts to reduce the water content of milk, leaving the solids in ; a more concentrated form without destroying their food value, and at the same time improving the keeping qualities, have resulted in developing the manufacture of both condensed milk and desiccated milk or milk flour. The condensing processes now used reduce the volume of milk to one-half or one-fifth its original bulk, and if the product is carefully sterilized or preserved with cane sugar and sealed in air-tight containers it becomes easily transportable and keeps for long periods in any climate. The desiccating processes now perfected remove practically all the ■water in milk, leaving a dry powder soluble in water. In the manu- facture of this product whole milk is reduced to about one-eighth, and skimmed milk to about one-eleventh the original volume. By this means the volume is reduced to a minimum, and the keeping quality, particularly of dried skim milk, is superior. CONDENSED JVIILK. Eemoving a portion of the water from milk, leaving a product of good keeping quality which may be restored to its normal consistency without injuring its natural flavor, is a problem that has been studied for many years. It is claimed that during the first half of the last century foreign inventors evaporated a part of the water from milk, and, with the addition of cane sugar, made what was then known a& condensed milk (see Scientific American, export edition, July, 1905).

    The DUEL USE of the VCRHTOB for Conde.nsing Milk and Pasteurizing Ice Cream Mix By G. H. WILSTER Oregon State System of Higher Education . Agricultural Experiment Station Oregon State College Corvallis Station Bulletin 430 july 1945 FOREWORD The method of pasteurizing cream under vacuum was first studied by the Oregon Agricultural Experimtht Sta- tion in 1938, the results being presented in Bulletin 368. The experimental use of this method of pasteurization for ice cream was studied by the Station in 1939.The operation was so successful that it became routine practice in the experiment station laboratory and its pilot plant. In 1942, stimulated by the deficiency of nonfat dry milk solids, the dairy research staff saw the possibility of adapting the Vacreator* vacuum pasteurizer for condens- ing milk.After repeated trials, the necessary adjustments were determined.A systematic study was made.The method developed is fully outlined herein. It is now apparent that in addition to manufacturing with this equipment ice cream of delectable flavor, excel- lenttexture, and irreproachable sanitaryquality,the whole field of milk concentration is opened to new pos- sibilities.Owners of this type of equipment who have access to an adequate supply of milk may economically evaporate it if such a procedure is desirable. The results from this research suggest not only revo- lutionary developments in the ice cream industry but the possibility of new methods of preparing milk solids for other uses in the dairy manufacturing industry.

The removal of water from milk gives an advantages in reducing storage and transport costs, ease / convenience in use and increasing shelf life. Concentrated milk is further reconstituted by the consumer with water, to give a similar composition of fresh milk. It is generally produced as a 3:1 concentrate containing approximately 10 - 12% milk fat and 36% total milk solids. Introduction Condensed milk is an important source of milk solids in confectionery, bakery products, ice cream, concentrated yoghurt, choclates, bakely products and other newer kind of food mix preparation. It may be made from whole, skimmed, or reduced fat milks depending on the consumer need and requirements. Uses of Condensed milk 1- Condensed milks are mainly used for reconstitution into sweet milk drinks. 2- Condensed milks are very commonly utilised in the preparation of tea or coffee. 3- They are also used in the ice-cream preparation. 4- They are used in candy and confectionary products. 5- They are frequently used in prepared foods in various ways and form. History of condensed milk Invented by Gail Borden in the early 1850s, canned condensed milk proved invaluable as a military ration in the 1860s.

  • No Churn Ice Cream by Cleo Coyle
    Cleo’s No Churn Ice Cream Chocolate, Vanilla, Coffee "No churn" ice cream appeals to me. It's easy to make, economical, takes little room in my freezer, and does not require reading appliance instructions (huzzah). Unfortunately, there is a problem with the most common recipe for "no churn" ice cream, one I have worked to remedy. Why I Revised the Popular "No Churn" Ice Cream Recipe "No churn" ice cream replaces the churning of air into the cream with whipping the air into the cream before freezing. This does a good job of keeping the end product as soft and fluffy as churned ice cream. But there is a problem with the most common "no churn" recipe I've seen shared across the internet (i.e., cream + sweetened condensed milk). It produces an ice cream that's far too soft, melts too easily, and leaves a waxy aftertaste on the tongue from too much butterfat. In short, it produces a product like ice cream but not as good. So I began experimenting with that ubiquitous no churn recipe and have come up with an improved version (IMO, of course). Why is it better? A few reasons... (1) Adding evaporated milk to the mix before freezing creates a final product that has a much cleaner, more ice-cream-like texture, eliminating that waxy butterfat coating on the tongue. It also... (2) Allows very fine ice crystals to form, which make the final product colder in the mouth and gives it a more stable form in the dish or on your cone.

It is most often found in the form of sweetened condensed milk (SCM), with sugar added. Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick, sweet product which when canned can last for years without refrigeration if unopened. The production of condensed milk is obtained starting from raw milk that is clarified and standardized and is then heated to 85–90 °C for several seconds. This heating process destroys some microorganisms, decreases fat separation and inhibits oxidation. Some water is evaporated from the milk and sugar is added until a 9:11 (nearly half) ratio of sugar to (evaporated) milk is reached. The sugar extends the shelf life of sweetened condensed milk. Nowadays condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries all over the world.

  • Chapter 2B Dating Milk Bottles, Part II © Bill Lockhart 2011 Paper Milk Cartons on Several Occasions, Paper Cartons Challenged
    Chapter 2b Dating Milk Bottles, Part II © Bill Lockhart 2011 Paper Milk Cartons On several occasions, paper cartons challenged the supremacy of glass as containers for milk. Only the last was really successful. For a thorough discussion of the issues surrounding paper containers and a more complete list of patents, see the Dairy Antique Site (2011). Early Paper Cartons – 1896-1915 Hervey D. Thatcher, noted for some of the earliest glass milk bottles, also applied for a patent for a waxed paper milk pail on June 24, 1895, and received Patent No. 553,794 on January 28, 1896 (Figure 2-39). Thatcher discussed many of the issues connected with glass milk bottles (including breakage as well as problems with sanitation and washing). He claimed that his “Parafinned Pail” would solve the problems with glass. Thatcher followed up with two other patents for refinements, Patent No. 619,019 for a “Paper Pail” on February 7, 1899, and Patent No. 688,365 for another “Paper Pail” on December 10, 1901. He never advanced beyond the “pail” design. Figure 2-39 – Thatcher “Parafinned Pail” Winslow (1907:140) noted that “the latest departure in the way of a milk bottle is the single service milk container of wood-paper made and invented by G.W. Maxwell of 2101 Folsom St., San Francisco. now in actual use by dairymen in Los Angeles.” The “bottles” were shaped like “an ordinary drinking glass” and came in quart, pint, half-pint, and quarter-pint sizes. The paper cover was wedged into place and held by four tabs. Although Winslow gave Maxwell full credit for the invention, the actual patent document named George W.
