EXPERIMENT 1. EVALUATION OF MILK AND RECONSTITUTED
MILK QUALITY
Abstract
Milk testing and quality control are critical components of every milk processing
enterprise, whether small, medium, or big. In this experiment, several tests were
conducted to assess milk quality from particular sources: Unexpired sterilized
Vinamilk and Expired sterilized Vinamilk, Nong Lam pasteurized milk, Long Thanh
pasteurized milk and reconstituted milk with 13% total solids. As a result, sensory
properties of different milk source were different from each other. Density of
unexpired Vinamilk and reconstituted milk is 1025 kg/m3, that of expired Vinamilk
is 1030 kg/m3. Titratable acidity of both expired and unexpired samples are the same
19.26oD, while that of reconstituted milk is 11.28oD. pH values of expired and
unexpired Vinamilk are 6.89 ± 0.0058 and 7.30 ± 0.0058 for reconstituted milk.
Alcohol test and methylene blue test proved that all milk samples are well-qualified
despite some errors of incomplete reconstitution and external microorganism
spoilage.
1.1. Introduction
Milk is a fluid secreted by the female of all mammalian species, of which there are
about 4500 extant species (about 80% of mammalian species are extinct) (Fox, P.F.
and McSweeney, P.L.H., 1998). Milk is defined as the secretion of the mammary
glands of mammals, its primary natural function being nutrition of the young. It is
derived from lactating mammals such as cows, sheep, goats, horses, buffaloes, etc. The
principal requirements are for energy (supplied by lipids and lactose and, when in
excess, by proteins), essential amino acids and amino groups for the biosynthesis of
non-essential amino acids (supplied by proteins), essential fatty acids, vitamins,
inorganic elements and water.
Different kinds of mammals, the chemical components are unsimilar, the differ are
present in Table 1.1.
Milk is a very complex fluid containing several hundred molecular species (several
thousand if all triglycerides are counted individually). The principal constituents are
water, lipids, sugar (lactose) and proteins. In addition, there are numerous minor
constituents, mostly at trace levels, e.g. minerals, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and
miscellaneous compounds. The chemistry of these compounds is generally similar
across species but in many cases their structure differs in detail, reflecting evolutionary
(Fox, P.F. and McSweeney, P.L.H., 1998).
Table 1.1. Gross composition off milk from different mammals

Milk is often described as the most ‘nearly perfect’ food; although this is true only
for the young of the producing or closely related species, the milk of all species is a
nutrient rich and well-balanced food (Kon, S. K., 1959; du Puis , E. M., 2002; Patton,
S., 2004 ). However, milk is very susceptible to the growth of micro-organisms, which
will cause spoilage if the milk is stored.
1.2. Materials and methods
1.2.1.1. Materials
❖ Samples preparation
Unexpired sterilized Vinamilk and Expired sterilized Vinamilk (5-month expired
milk, but not being opened and stored in refrigerator) from Vietnam Dairy Products

From whole milk powder with 4% moisture, preparing 500 mL reconstituted milk
with 13% dry matter by dissolving 67.71 g whole milk powder into 432.29 mL boiled

water. Reconstituting thoroughly by vigorous agitation and allow to stand for about 30
mins.
1.2.1.2. Methods
❖ Sensory evaluation of the five samples
At the milk receiving platform, the organoleptic test allows for quick separation of
low-quality milk. There is no need for special equipment, but the milk grader must
have excellent vision, smell, and taste. The test results are available immediately, and
the cost of the test is minimal.
Sensory evaluation is focused on the criteria of color, taste, state and texture of milk
as well as checking the milk samples if they contain any visual foreign matter or not in
the following 4 milk samples: Unexpired sterilized Vinamilk, Expired sterilized
Vinamilk, Long Thanh milk and Nong Lam milk.

Opening a can of milk, immediately smell the milk. Observing the appearance of the
milk. If still unable to make a clear judgement, taste the milk, but do not swallow it.
Spitting the milk sample into a bucket provided for that purpose or into a drain basin,
flush with water. Looking at the can lid and the milk can to check cleanliness.
❖ Milk density
According to TCVN 7405:2018, using a balling hydrometer to determine the density
of milk.
Figure 1.5. Balling hydrometer
11
The hydrometer works on the principle of Acsimeter repulsion. A solid suspended
in a liquid will rise with a force equivalent to the weight of the liquid displaced by the
submerged portion of the suspended solid. This force is in the same direction and
opposite direction with gravity. The lower the density of the liquid, the lower the
hydrometer of a given weight and vice versa. An object will float when its ‘synthetic
specific gravity’ is less than the specific gravity of water. Hydrometer sinks deeper in
gasoline, kerosene, alcohol and floats more in salt water, milk or acid.
Preparing a measuring cylinder with a capacity of 250 mL. Slowly pour the milk
sample into the cup. This measuring cylinder should be placed on a smooth, nonshaking surface. Dropping the hydrometer gently into the liquid, wait until the
hydrometer balances, stop moving inside the liquid. The position where the surface of
the milk touches the body of the hydrometer will be the result to be measured.
Hydrometers can take any value, depending on the properties that correlate with the
density of that liquid.
Figure 1.6. How to read a value in a balling hydrometer
❖ Acid titration
The quantification of lactic acid produced from the fermentation of lactose by the
action of lactic acid fermentation bacteria in milk. On the other hand, allowing to
determine the acidity of milk (detecting milk with added water or abnormal milk).
According to AOAC 947.05, using 0.1 N NaOH with color indicator Phenolphthalein
1% in alcohol and titrating to until a stable pink color appears. Having 1 mL of 0.1 N
NaOH solution corresponds to 0.009 g of lactic acid.
Weighing exactly about 10 mL of fresh milk into a 100ml glass cup. Adding 20 mL
distilled water, gently rotating the cup to mix the sample well. Adding to that 3 drops
of phenolphthalein solution 1%, shaking well. Titrating with 0.1 N NaOH solution.
The titration process completes when the solution appears light pink, durable for 30
seconds. Reading the number of ml of NaOH 0.1 N solution consumed, V (mL).
Carrying out the experiment at least 3 times on the same test sample. Taking the
average result. After that, determining the acid titration:
a = n × 0.9 (g/L)
With:
a: acidity of milk (oD).
12
n: volume of NaOH used to titration (mL).
❖ pH measurement
Dipping the pH-meter directly into the milk solution to be measured after wiping the
electrode with distilled water.
❖ Alcohol test
The test is rapid and simple. Basing on the principle that proteins in acidic
environment are precipitated by alcohol. Milk with an acidity below the specified level
does not precipitate when in contact with alcohol, but if it is more acidic, a precipitate
will occur.
Using pipette to take 5 mL of milk into a clean test tube and add the same volume of
neutral 68o alcohol, mix well and observe the curdling. If no lumps are seen, the
acidity of the milk is satisfactory.
❖ Methylene blue test
Most of the milk-polluting microorganisms that grow in milk will change
reoxidation. If coloring such as methylene blue is added to milk, the colorant will be
changed. Basing on the color change and the time of color change, it is possible to
assess the contamination level of milk microorganism.
Methylene blue solution is prepared by dissolving 5 mg methylene blue into 100 mL
distilled water. The solution is stored in the refrigerator, protected from sunlight, and
used within 1 week.
Experiment is conducted under sterile conditions. Taking 10 mL of milk and 1 mL
of methylene blue solution into a sterile test tube. Close the lid carefully. Shake by
turning it over and over again 2 – 3 times. Putting in the incubator 37oC. Shaking
every 1 hour and observe the color change over time:
•
•
•
•
Before putting in the incubator.
After 15 minutes.
After 1 hour.
After 3 hours.
The blue ring on the surface of the milk is not counted because the milk has been
oxidized on the surface.
Result evaluation:
•

•
•
Loss of color before 15 minutes: Microbial contamination is too heavy.
Discoloration after 15 minutes to 1 hour: Heavy microbial contamination.
Discoloration after 1 hour to 3 hours: Light pollution.
Discoloration after 3 hours: Meets microbiological hygiene standards.

1.3.1. Sensory evaluation of the five samples
There were 5 samples used in the experiment: Unexpired sterilized Vinamilk,
Expired sterilized Vinamilk, Nong Lam pasteurized milk, Long Thanh pasteurized
milk and reconstituted milk with 13% total solids. After sensing, the results of these
samples were seen as following:

Milk evaluation standards according to TCVN 7405: 2018 compiled by the National
Technical Committee for Standards TCVN / TC / F12 Milk is drawn from the results
of two samples given in the two tables above. According to the Ministry of Science
and Technology, the General Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality
assessed that colostrum samples met the standards prescribed by the Ministry of
Science and Technology.
The expired milk has distinguishing status. The milk aroma and taste change
compared to the unexpired one. In terms of color, expired milk has insignificant
changes after the expiry date. This is possible because the storage conditions for these
two milk samples (expired and unexpired Vinamilk) are very favorable: they are kept
in a refrigerator at a constant temperature, the expired samples are checked shortly
after the expiration date.
For the Nong Lam milk sample, there is a big difference in the sensory values. In
terms of color, the samples were darker yellow than the standard samples, possibly due
14
to the cow's diet containing a lot of beta carotene pigment, which gives the finished
product its yellow color.
Reconstituted milk has yellowish color due to its powder properties. Wholemilk
powder has yellow and little green color because of Tyndall effect. It contains large fat
globules that would make it opaque and carotene which is a fat-soluble form of
vitamin A in milk.
1.3.2. Milk density
The density of raw milk varies depending on its content and temperature, although it
is typically between 1.026 g/cm3 – 1.034 g/cm3 at 20°C, according to published
statistics. After testing the other two samples, we see a difference from the standard
sample shown in the results. In the expired Vinamilk sample, the density of the sample
was 1030 kg/m3, which is higher than that of the unexpired one. Based on the
difference in density and positive difference in pH, a preliminary prediction is made
that the milk sample examined has been mixed with a substance that is both dry and
acidic.

1.3.3. Acid titration
Unexpired sterilized Vinamilk and Expired sterilized Vinamilk had the highest
acidity (19.26oD), while reconstituted milk had the lowest acidity value (11.88oD)
(Table 5 – 6). There were no differences between unexpired and expired Vinamilk
samples, however, titratable acidity values of these two samples were much higher
than many recorded values which are in range of 16 – 18% (Bruhn, 2017; Mahmood &
Usman, 2010). This developed acidity which could be due to lactic and acetic acids
formation produced by the action of external bacteria on lactose in milk at room
temperature without being covered. As a result, there was an occurrence of bacteria
spoilage causing a quality decrease of samples. Titratable acidity of reconstituted milk
with 13% total solids was far lower than remaining samples because there was no
lactic acid fermentation during reconstitution.

1.3.4. pH measurement
Reconstituted milk had the highest pH value which is nearly neutral (pH = 7.30),
whereas the other two samples had lower pH. pH of unexpired and expired milk had
accordance with many recorded values from 6.6 – 6.8 (Bruhn, 2017; Mahmood &
Usman, 2010). There was a significantly difference of pH value between sterilized
milk and reconstituted milk. The high pH value of reconstituted whole milk was
caused by some errors during experiment such as coagulation due to incomplete
reconstitution.

After about 30s of actual observation, it is clear that there is no change in texture, as
well as the appearance without precipitation of the unexpired and expired samples,
however, reconstituted milk had some coagulation due to incomplete reconstitution.
According to milk standards, samples without coagulation, clotting or precipitation are
qualified.

Figure 1.8. Results of methylene blue test for expired and unexpired sterilized

When there is growth of microorganisms that contaminates milk, the redox potential
changes with the reduction. The methylene blue test method is a form of rapid test to
determine whether raw milk is contaminated with microorganisms or not, the blue
color of the reagent is reduced after a certain time of 3 hours, the milk sample is
considered is microbiologically qualified.
From the experimental results (Figure 1.8), generally, it was observed that in all the
milk samples have no change in the color of the reagents during the first hour. After 1
hour, there was no phenomenon in the majority test tubes. Starting after about 2 hours,
one sample of the unexpired milk sample became pale green and about a little more of
the liquid lost its blue color. After the third hour, the color of the sample containing the
reagent has been completely reduced.
17
The color of the reagent in the unexpired sample changes somewhat over time, until
it fades around the third hour. As a result, early inferences may be drawn about the
moderate microbial contamination of the milk samples studied. The reason for the
aforementioned result is partially due to the research team's finality, which implies that
the milk sample was left out in the open for a long time (more than 2 hours) without
being refrigerated, and the test tube was not sanitized. Milk that has not been treated or
pasteurized comes into contact with these variables, which can quickly infect it with
bacteria, modify its qualities, and ruin it. Only after the survey was conducted was the
sample utilized, therefore the risk of microbial contamination was extremely minimal.
1.4. Conclusion
Milk, which is 87% water, is vulnerable to adulteration by unscrupulous
intermediaries and disloyal farm employees. Furthermore, its high nutritional content
makes it an excellent substrate for the fast development of germs, particularly when
produced in an unsanitary manner and stored at room temperature. Good quality raw
materials are required for any processor to produce high-grade dairy products. A milk
processor or handler can only be confident in the quality of raw milk if some basic
quality checks are performed.

EXPERIMENT 2. YOGURT PRODUCTION
Abstract
Yogurt is a semisolid fermented milk product created by the action of a symbiotic
combination of Streptococcus salavarius subsp. thermophilus and Lactobacillus
delbruechii subsp. bulgaricus bacteria. In this experiment, set yogurt, a gel form
product was processed to investigate technological production. Set yogurt was
prepared from 2 different sources of milk: sterilized liquid milk and reconstituted
milk with 13% dry matter. Finished samples were measured in sensory quality,
while pH and titratable acidity were measured during fermentation at 42oC.
Generally, 2 different samples had their different flavor and basic properties of
yogurt, however, set yogurt made of reconstituted milk was more preferable due to
its flavor and texture. Fermentation stopped when pH value reached nearly 4.6. After
12h fermentation in incubator and refrigerator, pH of set yogurt made of sterilized
milk was 4.63 ± 0.025, and that made of reconstituted milk was 4.73 ± 0.025.
Meanwhile, titratable acidity had an increase to 5.11 ± 0.021 and 7.22 ± 0.025
respective to sterilized milk and reconstituted milk source. It can be seen that the
lower the pH values are, the higher the titratable acidity values are.
2.1. Introduction
2.1.1. Definition of yogurt
Yogurt (Figure 2.1) is a dairy product made from the bacterial fermentation of milk.
Yogurt cultures are the bacteria that are used to make yogurt. Lactic acid is produced
when these bacteria ferment sugars in milk, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt
its characteristic tart flavor and texture. Cow's milk is the most commonly used milk in
the production of yogurt. Yogurt is also made from the milk of water buffalo, goats,
mares, camels, and yaks. The milk used may or may not be homogenized. It can be
pasteurized or unpasteurized. Each type of milk yields significantly different yogurt.
A culture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus bacteria is used to make yogurt. Other lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are
sometimes added during or after yogurt culture. Some countries require yogurt to
contain a certain number of bacteria colony-forming units (CFU). In China, for
example, the number of lactobacillus bacteria must be at least 1 million CFU/ml. (Lee
YK et al, 2012).

2.1.2. Origin of yogurt
The origins of yogurt are uncertain, however it is assumed to have been invented
approximately 5000 BC in Mesopotamia, most likely as a result of milk spontaneously
souring in warm climates (Tribby D, 2009). The combination of yogurt and honey is
referred to as "the food of the gods" in ancient Indian chronicles. (Batmanglij et al,
2007).
Neolithic people used pots to keep milk, according to evidence from ancient pottery.
Yogurt, being a fermented product, was an excellent way to preserve milk since the
acidity inhibits the growth of harmful germs. Yogurt was a popular meal in the Greek
and Roman empires, and it has played an important role in Mediterranean cuisine from
800 BC.
2.1.3. Classification
According to (Lâm Xuân Thanh, 2003), yogurt is divided into 3 types depending on
the procedures of fermentation:
• Yogurt "set type": immediately after adding the fermented strain, the milk is
poured into the can and fermented in the can.
• Yogurt "stirred type": supplemented with fermented strains and fermented in large
tanks. Then cooled and canned.
• Drink yogurt: Produced similar to stirred type. After coagulation, the yogurt is
made into a liquid, which may or may not be heat-treated prior to filling.

2.1.4. Yogurt consumption situation in some countries around the world
Figure 2.3. The chart on annual yogurt consumption in a certain nation
The rough estimate of annual per capita yogurt consumption plainly shows that the
European population consumes more yogurt per person than others. As a result of this
feature, the European yogurt market is more developed than in other regions.
(Akhila,P. 2017)
The worldwide yogurt industry is primarily driven by the health advantages
associated with yogurt consumption and rising public awareness about the need of
reducing weight.
Other factors driving market growth include the expansion of the retail market in
various areas and the lower lactose content for lactose intolerant persons who want to
eat dairy
products. Yakult, Danone, Nestle, Chobani, and other key firms are raising awareness
and promoting the consumption of spoonable and drinkable yogurt. Growth in demand
for yogurt in developing countries due to rising disposable income and increased
health awareness is expected to provide numerous opportunities for the global yogurt
market's development (Akhila,P. 2017).

Non-sugar milk is an important medium in the yogurt manufacturing process. It
creates an ideal environment for microbial fermentation. Protein, calcium, vitamin D,
vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin B2, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium
are all found in milk. The qualities of yogurt are heavily influenced by the quality of
the dairy products, thus the milk must be of sufficient quality to generate the desired
yogurt product.
Using non-sugar fresh milk instead of sugar-sweetened fresh milk allows to simply
modify the sweetness of the product.
Based on TCVN 7028:2009 on Sterilized fresh milk, we have the following criteria:

2.2.1.2. Freeze – dried lactic culture
Figure 2.6. The starter culture used in this experiment
Freeze – drying, also known as lyophilization, is a handy method for preserving
germs. By lowering water activity to less than 0.2, it enables long-term storage and
low-cost distribution at subzero temperatures while minimizing viability and
functionality losses.
Yogurt is high in nutrients, including lactic acid bacteria, which play a crucial
function in regulating the body's digestion and absorption (Aquirre and Collins, 1993).
(Medina and Jordano, 1994). The starter cultures' role is to ferment lactose (milk
sugar) to create lactic acid. The rise of lactic acid lowers the pH of the milk, causing it
to coagulate or form the soft gel that is typical of yogurt. Lactose fermentation also
provides the taste components that distinguish yogurt.
Lactic acid bacteria play a very important role in yogurt production. It ferments
lactose to produce lactic acid, which causes yogurt to coagulate, and at the same time
creates specific aromatic substances for the product.
• In the production of yogurt, microorganisms usually use the following two types:
Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) is a typical fermentative bacteria, which
grows well at 45 - 500C in a high acidity environment. L. bulgaricus can produce
in milk mass up to 2.7% lactic acid from lactose. The optimal pH of L. bulgaricus
is 5.2 – 5.6.
• Streptoccocus thermophilus (S. thermophilus): Grows well at 500C and reproduces
well at 37-400C. This is also a typical lactic acid bacteria that can withstand heat
up to 650C for 30 minutes. The optimum pH of S. thermophilus is 6.6 – 6.8.

Recent studies have also emphasized the role of L. bulgaricus in creating aroma for
products, in which the composition of acetaldehyde is considered as an important
ingredient contributing to the characteristic aroma of yogurt. (Winny and Hari, 2011)
