Developing a better buttermilk solutionIreland, Elizabeth Rosa January 2014 (has links)
This document is a project document based on finding a more economical way to use buttermilk at Synlait Milk Ltd. Buttermilk is a by-product from the Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF), which is the concentration of cream. It is a problem for many dairy companies in New Zealand, including Synlait. the problems arise due to the opportunity cost of using it. It is a low value product, but made in substantial quantities at a ratio of 55% buttermilk to 45% AMF. This feasibility study contains an analysis on buttermilk at Synlait, including opportunity costs and benefits with processing buttermilk into buttermilk powder. It provides insight into the feasibility of implementing a ‘washed cream’ process at Synlait which would provide an alternative method for using buttermilk. The feasibility of separating buttermilk components for separate use is also examined. Overall, this project provides a more economical solution for buttermilk use at Synlait Milk Ltd.
