Question

The sequence followed for production of pasteurized milk.
A. Receiving milk (grading, sampling, weighing, testing)
B. Standardization
C. Filtration/clarification (pre-heated 35--40$^\circ$C)
D. Pasteurization (63$^\circ$C/30 min or 72$^\circ$C/15 sec)
E. Packaging and storage (5$^\circ$C or below)

• A. A, B, C, D, E
• B. A, B, D, C, E
• C. A, C, B, D, E
• D. A, C, B, E, D

Hint:

Clarification always comes before standardization in milk processing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Pasteurized milk production follows a systematic sequence to ensure safety and quality.

Step 1: Receiving.
Milk is collected and tested.

Step 2: Clarification.
Removes impurities.

Step 3: Standardization.
Adjust fat content.

Step 4: Pasteurization.
Kills pathogens.

Step 5: Packaging.
Stored at low temperature.

Step 6: Sequence.
\[ A \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow E \] Conclusion: Option (3) correct.
