Analyzing Raw Milk at the Dairy Plant
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Determination of Quality Parameters in Raw Milk with NIR
Quality control of raw milk before further processing is a crucial process in the dairy industry. The milk is thourougly tested for various parameters, such as fat, protein, total solids, ot solids-non-fat.
The analysis results not only influence the payment of the milk producers but also allow for segregation of the incoming raw milk according to its composition and hence intended process and final product. NIR spectroscopy ensures that consumers receive safe, nutritious, and compliant dairy products while optimizing production processes for the dairy companies.
Find out how NIR can monitor entire truck loads of raw milk at the receiving dock in this application note.
