The milk processed for beverage use is industrially termed as fluid milk. Its consumption assists in maintaining bone & teeth health, weight management, and muscle development. Standardization, pasteurization, homogenization, and vitamin fortification are some of the operations involved in the manufacturing of beverage milk.
Fluid milk is standardized to provide consistent milk products to customers because fat content in milk varies with species, feed, animal breed, stage of lactation, and other factors. Majority of the fluid milk is pasteurized utilizing the high temperature short time continuous process to retain the freshness of milk. Higher heat processes, such as aseptic processing or ultra pasteurization, are utilized to extend the shelf life of the product. Fluid milk is usually fortified with vitamin D and vitamin A.
Growing health consciousness is the key factor driving the global fluid milk market growth across the globe. Increase in population and growth in disposable incomes in emerging economies supplement the market growth. High cost and stiff competition from other beverages are anticipated to hamper the market growth.
