Casein principal protein found in milk; a phosphoprotein containing phosphoric acid;normal acidity of milk; easily coagulated by the addition of acid or enzyme rennet
Wheyfat and casein are removed; proteins found in whey, i.e., albumin and globulin
Enzymes proteins in nature; lipases and phosphatases are found in milk; lipases causehydrolytic rancidity; presence of phosphatase indicates improper pasteurization or contamination after pasteurization
Carbohydrate – lactose; chief carbohydrates found in milk and is called milk sugar; a disaccharide of glucose and galactose
Lipids – fat in milk is called milk fat which exists either as true fat or glycerides or in association with other substances like lecithin, carotene, and cholesterol. It is also characterized by the presence of short chain, saturated fatty acids.
Raw – untreated; fresh milk that has been cooled but has not been pasteurized or undergone any treatment other than cooling; coats the tongue; consumption is banned in some places.
Fresh whole milk – composition of which has not been changed (nothing removed or added) since time of milking.
Pasteurized – heated to at least 61 to 65 °C for at least 30 minutes (holding process) or to 71 to 77 °C (161 °F) for 15 seconds (short-time, high-temperature process), then cooled to 10 °C or lower as rapidly as possible; free from pathogenic bacteria; needs refrigeration to maintain safety. Pasteurization destroys pathogenic and non- pathogenic microorganisms and inactivates the enzyme lipase that causes hydrolytic rancidity.
Sterilized – milk heated to at least 100 °C for a few seconds to kill all microorganisms without appreciably changing the desirable qualities of fresh milk. The ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment kills both pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms
Homogenized – milk is treated mechanically or under high pressure to reduce the size of fat globules so that they remain in suspension (not clumped together as in whole milk).
Skimmed – fat is partly or completely removed; may thus be low fat (e.g., 2% fat) or nonfat.
Toned – liquid milk whose composition has been altered, such that its fat and nonfat are standardized at 3% and 9%, respectively. This is done by mixing high-fat and low-fat milks, i.e., milk with a high fat content like carabao’s milk (9% fat) can be toned or stretched by the addition of dry milk solids from cow’s milk.

Evaporatedmilk
Canned, unsweetened, homogenized whole milk from 50–60% of its water has been removed
Recombined evaporated milk
Dried skim milk to which butterfat and water have been added to conform to the standards for whole milk; has similar composition with evaporated milk
Evaporated filled milk
Skimmed milk powder to which vegetable oil and water other than milk fat has been added to simulate the composition of evaporated whole milk
Sweetened condensed milk
Evaporated whole or skim milk to which about 40–45% sugar has been added; heated until about 60% of the water evaporates
Powdered or dried milk
Milk in powder form; may be whole or skimmed; to reconstitute, add enough water to four (4) tablespoons powdered milk to make one (1) cup
Reconstituted milk
Skim or whole milk powder or evaporated milk, or any combination of these, to which vegetable oil has been added to conform to the standard for whole milk
Fermented milk
Obtained by allowing selected bacteria to grow and produce lactic acid in the milk
Sour milk
Milk made sour by the addition of vinegar, lemon, or calamansi juice or by the action of lactic acid bacteria
Buttermilk
Pasteurized skim milk that has been soured by lactic acid-producing bacteria
Flavored milk
Milk of varying fat content with added flavoring like strawberry, coffee, etc. and a sweetener
Chocolate milk
Whole milk flavored with chocolate
Chocolate drink
Skim milk flavored with chocolate
Cultured milk
Pasteurized whole milk soured by lactic acid bacteria
Malted milk
Whole milk to which liquid from the mash of ground barley, malt, and wheat flour has been added
Fortified milk
Vitamins have been added
Certified milk
Milk produced under rigid sanitary conditions that the bacterial count does not exceed 10,000/cc
Yoghurt
Soured milk product prepared by adding lactic bacteria to whole or skim milk or cream
Soy milk
Often fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and riboflavin and offered in low fat forms; has a slightly nutty flavor with a rich texture; good source of protein, no cholesterol
Rice milk
Often fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and riboflavin; usually made with water, brown rice syrup, starch, and other thickeners; has a sweet flavor and a thin texture; less protein than milk or soy milk
Almond milk
Often fortified with calcium and vitamin D; made from ground almonds and water; low in calories and saturated fat; contains no cholesterol or lactose; may be sweetened and flavored
