Tag: Skim milk production

Before homogenization, a cream layer naturally formed on top of unprocessed milk. In the USA, modern plants use a multi-stage process to produce skim milk with less than 0.2% fat.

Most commercial skimmed milk is created by spinning whole milk in a high-speed centrifuge, a method far more efficient and sanitary than traditional gravity separation methods. This industrial process ensures a consistent and precise reduction of milk fat to meet specific product standards.
