Condensed milk

cpc code 22222 covers the production of condensed milk, a vital dairy product with a wide range of applications. Condensed milk is a concentrated form of regular milk, created by removing a significant portion of the water content. This process results in a thick, creamy substance that is shelf-stable and can be used in a variety of food products and recipes. As a key ingredient in many baked goods, confections, and desserts, the condensed milk industry plays an important role in the broader food manufacturing sector.

The production of condensed milk involves several key steps. First, raw milk is collected and pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria. The milk is then concentrated by evaporation, which removes up to 60% of the water content. This concentrated milk is then homogenized to ensure a smooth, consistent texture. Finally, sugar is added to the condensed milk, which acts as a preservative and enhances the flavor.

The main inputs required for the production of condensed milk include raw milk, which serves as the primary ingredient. Specialized equipment, such as evaporators, homogenizers, and pasteurizers, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, sugar is a key input, as it is added to the concentrated milk to create the final condensed milk product.

The primary output of the condensed milk industry is, of course, the condensed milk itself. This product is widely used in the food manufacturing industry, serving as a key ingredient in 20000 Food Manufacturing, 21000 Bakery Products, and 23000 Confectionery. Condensed milk is also sold directly to consumers for use in home cooking and baking.
