ABSTRACT

The following parameters of bulk raw milk, destined for processing were determined: percentage content of fat, protein, milk solids, quantity of fat and protein units and quality class of each batch of raw milk according to PN. The analysis included the results of monthly tests of raw milk for 2002. The mean values of chemical components of bulk milk and of the calculated indices of technological suitability of raw milk: for butter and cheese production, were estimated. The obtained results allowed determination of an average chemical composition of raw milk, specific of the central Poland and its technological suitability, depending on feeding season, size of deliveries and quality class of the purchased raw milk. The co-relationships between the examined properties were determined.

Key words: chemical composition of the bulk raw milk, technological suitability of raw milk, classification of raw milk..
