What do we know as Milk Products?

Also called Dairy Products: Products obtained by any

processing of milk (from mammals), which may contain food
additives, and other ingredients functionally necessary for
the processing.

From Cow to Us!

Raw milk is a perishable commodity and is spoiled very easily. Its low acidity
and high nutrient content make it the perfect breeding ground for bacteria,
including those which cause food poisoning (pathogens).
Bacteria from the animal, utensils, hands, and insects may contaminate the
milk, and their destruction is the main reason for processing.

Product: Butter

It is defined as a yellow-to-white solid emulsion of fat globules, water,

and inorganic salts produced by churning the cream from cows milk.
It is a high-energy food, containing approximately 715 calories per 100
grams. It has a high content of butterfat, or milk fat (at least 80 percent)
and it is low in protein.

Raw Materials: Average

Composition of Butter
Butter comprises of at least 80% milk fat, around 16% water, 1.52.0%
salt and 2% other milk solids.
The fat in butter is 67% saturated fat, 29% monounsaturated fat and
approximately 4% polyunsaturated fat. Butter naturally contains a type
of fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
Vitamins A, D and E

Milk Aseptic Packaging like

Tetra Pack
Combines attributes of paper
plastic and aluminum

Paperboard makes the package

stable and light weight
Polyethylene are added to seal
in the liquid and protect external
moisture
A thin layer of aluminum foil
protects product from oxygen and
light

Recycling Aseptic Packaging

First, cartons are separated from other
materials as it contains plastic, aluminium and
paper to be recycled.
This process occurs at a material recycling
facility, where cartons are separated & shipped
to a paper mill.
Fibre in the cartons is converted into pulp in
a hydrapulper (think giant kitchen blender),
which in turn is made into useful products.

Milk - HDPE (High Density

Polyethylene) Bottles
Used for all three milk types :
pasteurized , UHT and sterilized
A three layer protection against
UV rays ( White-Black-White)
Preserves natural taste and
smell, flexible, durable, low cost,
eco friendly and resistance to many
chemicals
Heat sealing of bottles

Recycling HDPE Bottles

First the bottles are shredded into flakes,
which are washed to remove the
contaminants.
The dried flakes are re-granulates and
become the raw material to manufacture new
products.
Typical products made include drainage pipe,
recycling bins, buckets and matting.

Butter - Waxed Paper or

Aluminium Foil
Aluminium foil is wax
laminated which prevents the
butter from sticking
Excellent barrier to moisture,
odour, light and micro
organisms

Recycling - Waxed Paper or

Aluminium Foil
It is biodegradable, compostable,
recyclable and renewable with an
outstanding functional performance.
They are sorted, cleaned, melted,
made into large blocks and then
reused.

Butter Polypropylene (PP) Tubs

Multilayered tub encouraging
extended shelf life
Container is thermoformed from
PP and wrapped with paperboard
sleeve which gives the tub greater
stability and protects from exposure
to light
PP has great strength, flexibility,
heat and chemical resistance

Recycling Polypropylene (PP)

Tubs
PP products are separated from other
plastics, cleaned and melted and cut into
small granules.
These are recycled into other useful
products such as storage bottles, floor
mats, tape, bowls etc.
