Question

The temperature of milk should not be less than .......... for better homogenization:

• A. 40°C
• B. 80°C
• C. 100°C
• D. 60°C

Hint:

Ensure milk is preheated to at least 60°C before homogenization to achieve optimal results.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Optimal homogenization requires milk temperature to be at least 60°C. This temperature ensures fat globules are fluid and protein structures are stable, promoting even fat distribution. Lower temperatures can lead to incomplete homogenization, negatively impacting milk quality and stability.
