Market Milk Processing
- Microbial Load Comparison in Dairy Commodities:
- Raw Milk:
- Fresh, unprocessed bovine milk directly from farm milking contains endogenous udder microflora, teat canal contaminants, and environmental dust/manure bacteria, easily yielding total viable counts of $10^5 - 10^7\text{ CFU/mL}$.
- In contrast, Skim milk powder, Sweetened condensed milk, and Butter undergo pasteurization, thermal evaporation, and water-activity suppression, resulting in drastically lower microbial counts.
- Conclusion: Raw Milk (Option 4).
Correct option: (4) Raw Milk
