This book is a clear, start-to-finish guide to fluid milkfrom how raw milk is collected and moved, to how it received, cleaned, kept safe, processed, packed, and delivered. It explains what happens at the plant (clarification, standardization, homogenization, pasteurization, UHT/ESL), how natural inhibitors like the lactoperoxidase system help short-term preservation, and how different market and special milks are made. With plain checklists and practical tips on cold-chain distribution and nutrition, it helps students and plant teams run safe, efficient, consumer-focused dairy operations.
