To the issue of using secondary dairy raw materials

Abstract

One of the main tasks that the dairy industry is currently facing is to expand the outgoing product range, increase the production volume of the enterprise and improve the quality of its products in the conditions of a distinctive market economy. The current high level of development in the food and processing industries requires an entirely new approach to the use of raw materials. The economic essence of this approach is to create activities and implement resource-saving technologies that allow maximizing and comprehensively extract all the most valuable components from raw materials, processing them into useful products. It allows reducing or eliminating the damage that is caused to the environment only as a result of emissions from production waste. The milk processing to whole-milk products is accompanied by obtaining skimmed milk, buttermilk and whey. These main products are also secondary raw materials and resources with a generic name “secondary dairy raw materials” (SDRM). As the retail output of dairy products is increasing the question of increasing the efficiency of their production arises. First of all, it is significant for resource-saving as raw material cost reaches 80% of the cost of dairy products. The development and implementation of technological separation processes for skimmed milk, buttermilk, and whey processing are the first major tasks in the modernization of the dairy industry of Russia. Involving cycle industries allows optimizing the commercial use of raw milk, as it expands the range of functional products produced from secondary dairy raw materials.
