Sample Question 1
Dairy Technology & Milk Processing EASY • MULTIPLE_CHOICE
Standard High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) milk pasteurization requires heating at:
A 135°C for 2 seconds
B 72°C (161°F) for at least 15 seconds
C 63°C for 30 minutes
D 100°C for 5 minutes
✓ Correct Answer: B - 72°C (161°F) for at least 15 seconds
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
HTST destroys all vegetative pathogens, including Coxiella burnetii.
Sample Question 2
Dairy Technology & Milk Processing EASY • MULTIPLE_CHOICE
The principal sugar found in milk is:
A Lactose (Glucose + Galactose)
B Maltose
C Fructose
D Sucrose
✓ Correct Answer: A - Lactose (Glucose + Galactose)
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Lactose is synthesized uniquely in mammary alveolar cells.
Sample Question 3
Dairy Technology & Milk Processing MEDIUM • MULTIPLE_CHOICE
Which enzyme test verifies proper pasteurization of milk?
A Alkaline Phosphatase Test
B Resazurin test
C Methylene Blue Test
D Lactometer test
✓ Correct Answer: A - Alkaline Phosphatase Test
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Alkaline phosphatase inactivation proves adequate pasteurization thermal kill.
Sample Question 4
Dairy Technology & Milk Processing MEDIUM • MULTIPLE_CHOICE
High-pressure homogenization of milk prevents creaming by:
A Sterilizing microbes
B Precipitating casein
C Reducing fat globule size to <2 micrometers
D Neutralizing acidity
✓ Correct Answer: C - Reducing fat globule size to <2 micrometers
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Subdividing fat globules creates uniform emulsion that resists buoyancy separation.
Sample Question 5
Dairy Technology & Milk Processing EASY • MULTIPLE_CHOICE
Which starter culture bacteria are standardly used to produce yogurt?
A E. coli and Salmonella
B Bacillus subtilis and Yeast
C Clostridium and Staph
D Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus
✓ Correct Answer: D - Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
These two species act synergistically to produce acid and yogurt aroma.
