About evaporated milk

cpc code 22221 covers the production of evaporated milk, a shelf-stable dairy product that is widely used in various food and beverage applications. Evaporated milk is an important ingredient in the food processing industry, contributing to the production of a diverse range of consumer goods. Its long shelf life and concentrated nutritional profile make it a versatile and valuable commodity within the broader dairy industry.

Production process

The production of evaporated milk involves the removal of a significant portion of the water content from whole milk through a process of evaporation. This is typically achieved by heating the milk under vacuum conditions, which allows the water to boil off at a lower temperature, preserving the milk's nutritional and organoleptic properties. The resulting concentrated milk is then homogenized, standardized, and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The primary input for the evaporated milk industry is raw whole milk, which is sourced from dairy farms. Additionally, the industry requires access to specialized equipment such as evaporators, homogenizers, and packaging machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the heating and processing of the milk.

Production outputs

The main output of the evaporated milk industry is the finished evaporated milk product, which is then consumed or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products. Some of the industries that may consume evaporated milk include 22222 Condensed milk, 22223 Powdered milk, and various food manufacturing sectors that utilize it as a key component in their recipes.
