Dairy Chemistry and BiochemistryMilk has been the subject of scientific study for about 150years and, consequently, is probably the best characterized, in chemical terms, of ourmajor foods. It is probably also the most complicated and serves as the raw material for a very large and diverse family of food products. Dairy science
has existed as a university discipline for more than 100 years; it is the oldest sector of food science (and technology), with the exception of brewery science...
