Raw milk is nutrient-rich liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, vitamins, and minerals. It’s produced from the mammary glands of all mature female mammals (cows, buffaloes sheep, goat) after they have given birth. It’s neither heat-treated nor processed in anyway.

Pasteurized Milk

Pasteurized milk is the raw milk that has been heat-treated to specific temperature/time process to destroy harmful (pathogenic) microorganisms to eliminate risk of disease. Named after the French inventor, Louis Pasteur, the product comes in various formats: homogenised, toned, full fat, and low fat.

Liquid Concentrates

Generally, Skim Milk, Cream and Whey Concentrate are in liquid form made by partial removal of water by evaporation/membrane separation as a cost-effective solution to bulk transport concentrated liquid in road tankers over long distances from farms/plants to industrial users.

UHT Milk Products

Ultra-high temperature treatment is a processing technology that almost sterilizes liquid food by heating it above 135°C (the temperature required to kill many bacterial endospores), for 2 to 30 seconds. Combined with aseptic packaging, UHT milk and products offers long life without refrigeration requirements.

Evaporated milks are concentrated milk products which can be obtained by the partial removal of water from milk while Sweetened Condensed Milk is made the same way but with addition of sugar. Generally packed in tins and long-life formats, these are extremely popular for ready-to-use applications.

Rishi Kalra, Executive Director and Group CFO at ofi quoted in Financial Times curtain raiser article ahead of COP 16

For Olam Food Ingredients, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of food and drink ingredients, the alarm rang with the bees.

As one of the world’s largest almond growers, OFI says it spends between $8mn and $11mn a year on honeybees needed to pollinate almond trees. Despite this, productivity on the farms started to decline “because the bees were stressed by their industrialised environment”, says Rishi Kalra, executive director and group chief financial officer. “So, we worked with partners to create natural habitats for bees on our farms and reduce their exposure to agrichemicals. What we saw was that productivity steadily increased.”
