This course is an optional multi-purpose subject since it can be taken by the students of the CTA degree (4th year) and the Veterinary degree (5th year). Although there are no official prerequisites, it is advisable that the student has taken the following subjects in CTA degree (Food processing methods I and II, Pilot plant practices) and Veterinary degree (Food Science, Food Technology and Food Safety and Inspection).
The course of Science and Technology of Milk is an optional subject and belongs to the subject Food Technology. This course has the purpose of orientating towards the specialization in future professional activities, and it complements the courses of Food Processing Methods I and II, and Pilot Plant Practices. The general objective of the course is that the student achieves a profound training in the dairy industry, able to respond to the qualification demanded by the job market, strongly marked by the need to make profitable the technological productive processes.
Objectives of the course:
- Identify the main structures and components of milk, relating their functions, characteristics and possible interactions
- Apply and understand the different treatments to which the milk can be subjected from the moment it is extracted from the animal producer until it reaches the consumer
- Apply knowledge of the milk science to the processes of obtaining milk and milk products to determine and analyze the possible causes of deterioration and how to avoid it, as well as the alterations produced to the main components of milk by the technological treatments applied and storage, to prevent and control deterioration reactions
- Establish and understand the production processes of different types of milk and milk products, and know their characteristics, composition and technology
Block I. Milk science
History and current situation of the dairy industry. General characteristics of milk. Milk microbiology. Major and minor components (proteins, lipids, lactose and other carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, ...). Goat and sheep milks
Block II. Milk technology
Milk treatments at the farm. Initial treatments of milk at the industry. Pasteurization and sterilization. Concentrated and dehydrated milks. Modifications related to the initial treatments, produced by thermal treatments and by concentration and dehydration technologies.
Block III. Technology of dairy products
Cream, butter, ice cream, smoothies and desserts. Milk coagulation. Yogurt and other fermented milks. Cheese. Dairy industry by-products (whey cheese, buttermilk, …). Caseins, caseinates, whey proteins and coprecipitates.
Block IV. Current trends in the dairy products market
Milk and special dairy products (lactose-free, with vitamins, with functional products, probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotic, milk formula, ...).
PRACTICE PROGRAM
P1 Milk standardization. Cream and butter (4 h)
P2 Ice cream elaboration (4 h)
P3. Elaboration of ripened cheese (4 h)
P4 Yogurt preparation and analysis (3 h)
SEMINARS PROGRAM
CASES (ABP: problem-based learning)
S1 Resolution and discussion of cases (3 h)
S2. Resolution and discussion of cases (3 h)
The distribution and presentation of the cases will be done in class and the follow-up of the cases by tutorials.
1. Theoretical classes
The student acquires the scientific knowledge of the subject by attending the lectures (master classes) and complementing them with the personal study of the topics explained. These classes are the activities in which less interaction is required of the student since they are conceived as a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmitting the knowledge of the teacher to the student.
2. Seminars and Self-Learning Work (ABP: problem-based learning)
The seminars are designed to discuss and resolve doubts and learn more about the subject. Throughout the course, cases related to milk and dairy products will be considered. These cases will be developed through the following work scheme: presentation and assignment of the cases to be solved, follow-up of the cases by tutoring, and resolution of the case by oral presentation. These cases will be developed through 2 seminars.
3. Pilot plant practices
The part of practical development of this subject will be done in small groups at the pilot plant of Food Technology. The objective of the practical classes is to complete, apply and reinforce the knowledge acquired to the theoretical classes. The students will realize the practical sessions based on a script that previously they will have to read. Based on the knowledge acquired from the pilot plant, the results obtained and the bibliography provided by the professors, the student will have to answer and deliver questionnaires about the practices of the pilot plant in order to determine the practical contents.
4. Visits to dairies
The visits to the companies are of great educational importance in that they rely on techniques and materials for learning, influencing very positively in the improvement of learning, as well as in the motivation of the students. Throughout the academic year, one or two visits to dairies will be planned.

The competences of this subject will be evaluated by:
a) An individual control of the contents of the thematic block I by examining by short-medium development or test questions, with a weight of 15% of the final grade.
b) Individual global control of the contents of all the blocks (I-IV) by examining medium development question, with a weight of 40% of the final grade.
c) Self-learning work. The group of students that will present and defend the proposed cases will be evaluated. Each student will participate in the resolution of a case that will weigh 20% of the final grade. To obtain this note it is essential that the student has participated in the oral presentation of the assigned subject as well as having attended the two case resolution seminars which will be subject of examination. Also for each of the thematic blocks I, II and III will be a small individual self-learning work in class that will be corrected by pairs and will have a global weight of 5% of the final grade.
d) The evaluation of pilot plant practices and the questionnaire of these practices will have a weight of 20% of the grade and are subject of examination. To obtain this note it is essential to have completed all the practices that are compulsory and have delivered the questionnaire included in each practice to the corresponding teacher. Two of these unrealized practices, at most, can be recovered through works assigned by the professor responsible for the practices and delivered before the individual global control.
To pass the subject an average of 5 points (1-10 score) is requested, taking into account these minimums:
a) a minimum of 5 points (1-10 score) in each of the controls; in case of undershoot this goal, one final examination test will be given by each trainee
b) a minimum of 5 points (1-10 score) in cooperative activities
c) It is generally considered that a student is not evaluable if he has participated in evaluation activities that represent ≤ 15% of thefinal grade
