Following the announcement of the fifth round of government purchasing for the Farmers-to-Families Food Box program milk futures went up. The program was announced on January 4 and deliveries will take place through the end of April. USDA will once more deliver boxes containing fresh produce, fluid milk, and dairy products, as well as meat and seafood. Up until now, the Agency distributed 133 million food boxes to support American farmers and families.

 

Bid solicitation


The bid solicitation was sent to more than 200 organizations that have received Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) in previous rounds. USDA underlines that the bigger variety of cheese will be acceptable. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture will purchase $1.5 billion worth of food for nationwide distribution.

Technische Aspekte

Bei der Herstellung von H-Milch wird die Milch 2-5 Sekunden lang auf etwa 140ᵒC erhitzt, um das Produkt zu sterilisieren und das Bakterienwachstum, das den Verderb der Milch verursacht, abzutöten. Bei der Herstellung von H-Milch kommt es zu einer Maillard-Reaktion, die zu einer Veränderung von Farbe, Geschmack und/oder Geruch führt. Nach dem Öffnen sollte sie im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden.

 


Anwendungen

UHT-Milch kann als Basisprodukt für die meisten Molkereisegmente verwendet werden. Je nach Verfahren wird sie für die Herstellung von Joghurt, Butter, Käse, Sahne und vielem mehr verwendet.
