Dairy products are generally defined as foodstuffs produced from milk. A production plant for such processing is called a dairy. Raw milk for processing generally comes from cows, but occasionally from other mammals such as goats, sheep, water buffalo, yaks, or horses.
Types of dairy products
There are more than 30 main products made from milk with a number of sub-products in each category. Dairy products include:
- Milk, after optional homogenization, pasteurization, in several grades after standardization of the fat level
- Cream, the fat skimmed off the top of milk or separated by machine-centrifuges
- Sour cream, cream that has been fermented by the bacteria Streptococcus lactis and Leuconostoc citrovorum
- Crème fraîche, slightly fermented cream
- Cultured buttermilk, fermented concentrated (water removed) milk using the same bacteria as sour cream
- Milk powder (or powdered milk), produced by removing the water from milk
- Whole milk & buttermilk
- Skim milk
- Cream
- High milk-fat & nutritional powders (for infant formulas)
- Cultured and confectionery powders
- Condensed milk, milk which has been concentrated by evaporation, often with sugar added for longer life in an opened can
- Evaporated milk, (less concentrated than condensed) milk without added sugar
- Khoa
- Infant formula, dried milk powder with specific additives for feeding human infants
- Cream, the fat skimmed off the top of milk or separated by machine-centrifuges
