Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the terms and definitions of yak milk skin, the requirements for the procurement of fresh yak milk, technical key points, hygiene requirements during processing, labeling and marking, net content, storage and transportation, etc. It applies to the processing and production of yak milk skin. Main technical content: Milk skin: A traditional dairy product made from yak milk through processes such as heating, skimming, insulation, cooling, molding, and drying (or not drying). Technical key points: Fresh yak milk is filtered to remove impurities, then gently heated in a pot until it boils while being stirred to avoid burning. After boiling, the milk is stirred (agitated) to form as many milk bubbles as possible. When a large number of milk bubbles appear on the surface of the emulsion, the stirring is stopped. The milk is kept at a moderate temperature for 4-6 hours without boiling. The insulation allows the cream to rise to the surface, forming a layer of skin with a certain thickness and hardness on the surface of the yak milk. After turning off the heat and allowing the milk skin to form, it is cut along the edge of the pot, with the fat layer folded inward and placed on a container. It is dried naturally in a cool and ventilated place, with regular turning during the drying process to avoid spoilage due to uneven heating. Packaging materials should be clean, odorless, sturdy, moisture-proof, tidy, beautiful, and free from odors, and be convenient for loading, storage, and transportation.
