Automated System for Milk Pasteurization
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study Pasteurization is the process of heating food, which is usually a liquid to a specific temperature for a predefined length of time and immediately cooling it after it is removed from the heat. Pasteurization relies on the principle that most harmful bacterial can be killed by heat. The most effective way to kill bacteria is boiling, but this compromises the flavor of the liquid. Pasteurization strikes a happy medium, keeping the flavor delicious while making the food safer. In addition to minimizing the risk of sickness, pasteurization also makes foods more shelf stable and less likely to rot, meaning that fresh dairy products and juices are available to more people. Unlike sterilization, pasteurization is not intended to kill all micro-organisms in the food. Instead, it aims to reduce the number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease.
One product that commonly undergoes pasteurization is milk. Pasteurized milk is milk which has been heat-treated to kill pathogens which cause disease. Not all pathogens are removed during the pasteurization process, so pasteurized milk is not 100% sterile, but many people consider it to be safer to drink than raw milk which has not been pasteurized at all.
Local small farms pasteurize milk but the way they pasteurize milk does not ensure that the microorganisms in the milk will be completely eliminated. This problem in local small farms challenged the researchers to apply instrumentation and control to the process of Pasteurization. Automating the process will decrease production time while increasing production quality. Developing an automated system for milk pasteurization can ensure the product’s quality. The project will also be able to give the students of the Department and Instrumentation and Control Technology an idea on the process of Pasteurization.
Objectives
A. General Objective:
To design an automated system for Low Temperature Low Time

    People still can decide which milk to buy; either treated cow milk or non-treated cow milk. The problem comes when people think that treated herd milk is a potential threat to their lives because they are not well informed about the facts on which different studies have relied. Even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated there is no difference between recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) milk and non rBST milk, people still believe there are several health, economic and animal welfare issues linked to this hormone.…

    Since the birth of the human race, the consumption of milk has been a popular nutrient. Currently, cow’s milk is considered the most consumed in the entire United States. However, contrary to popular belief, cow’s milk is not a viable source to drink from. Although it may contain many vital ingredients that living organisms need to survive, it is riddled with hormones, antibiotics, pus, and even blood. Cow’s milk is not intended for the consumption of humans; cow’s milk is for cows. The milk from cows is also believed to directly influence the creation of cancer cells.…

    The antibodies in breast milk help the baby fight off many illnesses within their environments as well as help them build their own immune systems. Without these antibodies babies tend to get sicker more often, and it can take the babies longer to recover from these illnesses. Since the food is coming directly from the breast rather then a bottle, there is less likely a chance of bacterial infection that can come from a bottle not having been properly sterilized.…
