Question

Milk is converted into milk powder by-
1. Bottling
2. Dehydration
3. Canning
4. Vacuum drying

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Dehydration

The correct answer is Dehydration.

 

• Milk is converted into milk powder by a process called dehydration.
• The milk powder is produced by evaporating the milk content into dryness.
• It develops the lumps when dissolved in liquid.
• Dried milk or milk powder is the product obtained by the removal of water from milk by heat or other suitable means to produce a solid containing five per cent or less moisture.
• Converting milk into milk powder plays a significant role in storage.
• By drying it the biological value of milk can be retained for a long period of time under relatively simple storage conditions.

• Bottling is the process of putting any products like beer, mineral water, etc. into bottles and corking the bottles.
• Vacuum drying is the process of removal of moisture present in a substance by means of creating a vacuum.
• Canning is a method of preserving food by processing and sealed in an airtight container.
