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

Homogenization is most effective when the milk temperature is at least 60°C. At this temperature, fat globules are more fluid, and protein structures remain stable, facilitating uniform fat dispersion. Lower temperatures may lead to incomplete homogenization, affecting milk’s quality and stability.
