Cheese Composition and Yield Control
Description
Cheese yield efficiency is important for business sustainability of cheese makers. Participants in this course will acquire a working knowledge of the factors that determine yield efficiency, including farm level, determinates of milk composition and quality, cheese milk formulation, and processing parameters. Process and quality control requirements for cheese yield are discussed and analyzed using case studies, including calculation of various measures of yield efficiency and yield prediction.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
1. Relate on-farm and processing factors to cheese composition and yield control through class discussions.
2. Calculate the density of milk by different methods.
3. Associate the value of milk components and other ingredients to cheese yield and composition.
4. Associate different processing parameters to cheese yield and composition.
5. Understand and apply the basics of mass balance analysis from raw milk to finished product including compositional analysis, critical compositional parameters, and cheese yield expression and prediction.
6. Understand tools and resources available for better yield control.
