He started the session by introducing about the importance of milk, essential nutrients in milk, health benefits of milk etc. After highlighting the basics of milk, he introduced about the inception of BAMUL, the activities carried out by BAMUL such as checking the quality of milk which is received by the milk processing unit, heat treatment given to the milk, like pasteurization, homogenization because raw milk procured from villages, contain numerous pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. These microorganisms, if allowed to grow, multiply at logarithmic rate and produce many toxins and enzymes and spoil milk. Hence milk is processed by heat treatment in dairies.
