Milko stänger I
Karlstad och Sundsvall
Sammanlagt 173 personer förlorar jobbet när Milko stänger
mejerierna i Karlstad och Sundsvall för att spara pengar.
Orsaken till nedläggningen är att det kooperativa företaget i
dag inte klarar av att betala konkurrenskraftiga priser till
mjölkbönderna, förklarar ledningen. Därför måste kostnaderna
minskas. I detta ingår samarbete med Falköpings mejeri.
-Vi måste ta en del mindre trevliga beslut för vår personal,
sade Milkos ordförande Lars Reyier vid en presskonferens.
-Samtidigt är det helt nödvändiga beslut att stänga dessa två
mejerier. Genom de här åtgärderna hoppas vi återvinna
medlemmarnas förtroende. Vi har haft oro i medlemsleden på grund
av att vi inte har kunnat betala ett konkurrenskraftigt
avräkningspris.

Changing demographics
will provide growth opportunities for dairy industry, says Tetra
Pak
Changing demographics will have an impact on the types of dairy
products people consume and how they consume them, providing new
growth opportunities for the dairy industry, according to the
latest edition of the
Tetra Pak Dairy Index.
Ageing populations, urbanisation and an emerging global middle
class are driving demand for new types of liquid dairy products*
(LDP) in both developed and developing countries, reports the
Tetra Pak newsletter, which tracks worldwide facts, figures and
trends in the global dairy industry. Among the trends the report
details are:
- Ageing population drives demand for
healthy products
- Urbanisation changes consumer preferences
and impacts distribution of LDP
- Emerging middle class enjoys new
purchasing power
Worldwide consumption of milk and other LDP is
expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%
from 2009 to 2012 — reaching 283 billion litres. This is up 0.2
percentage points compared to the previous forecast of 2.2% CAGR.
Worldwide LDP consumption increased year-on-year by 1.8% to 264
billion litres and demand has continued to be strong through the
first half of 2012.

IDF keen to make its
renewed dairy nutrition website a global sciencebased source of
reference
IDF has launched a refreshed version of its
Dairy
Nutrition Website using latest web technologies to
further knowledge of milk and milk products and their positive
benefits on nutrition and health. The user friendliness of the
website has been improved with the possibility to sign up for a
newsfeed (via RSS technology). In addition, the IDF Dairy
Nutrition website is now also connected to ‘social networking
sites’ such as Facebook, Twitter and many others. Another major
feature is the optimized search function. All these new features
will enhance the service to the visitors in the most customer
friendly way. The aim of the renewed dairy nutrition platform
remains to provide sciencebased information on milk and milk
products and their role in nutrition and health.

Camel Milk May be Coming to
Europe Soon
Hard on the hooves of cow's and goat's milk, European grocery
shelves may soon be invaded by milk from that proverbial ship of
the desert, the camel.
An animal famous for bad breath and ill humour might seem an
unlikely source of liquid to lubricate a bowl of breakfast
cereal or froth up a latte, but promoters from the United Arab
Emirates say it is healthy -- and almost like mother's own.
"People with lactose intolerance can drink it with no problem,
unlike cow's milk, it doesn't cause protein allergies, and it's
high in insulin," said Ulrich Wernery, the scientific director
of Dubai's Center for Veterinary Research Laboratory.
Similar in taste and appearance to cow's milk, he said camel
milk is closer in composition to human milk, making it a
healthier option than cow milk.
Camel milk also is high in vitamin C, which Wernery said
explains its importance to Bedouins, Arab desert nomads, who
historically lacked fruits or vegetables in their diet and have
been drinking camel milk for generations.
The European Commission recently approved plans for screening
camel milk, and will send an EU panel to inspect the UAE's two
dairy farms producing camel milk -- Al Ain Dairy, with "Camelait",
and the Emirates Industry for Camel Milk and Products' "Camelicious",
found in most UAE grocery stores.
Wernery expected EU permission to export, which if granted could
have the UAE shipping camel dairy next year, to open doors to
U.S. and Canadian markets as well as China and Hong Kong.
But camel milk comes at a price. In the UAE, its costs about
about 4 dirhams ($1.09) more per litre than cow's milk.
"Cows produce more milk than our camels -- about 50 litres daily,
while our camels make 10-15 litres," Wernery, who is affiliated
with Camelicious, said.
"But they developed good dairy cows over many years. We are
trying to breed good (camel) milking stock, but it will take
some time."
Camelicious produces 5,000 litres a day, far less than even one
percent of daily European milk consumption. For now, he said,
UAE farms can target only specialty health stores.
If the milk does hit Europe's dairy aisle, he said, consumers
would also find camel chocolate, cheese, and ice cream.

UK dairy sector eyes energy
saving pasteurisation alternative to extend milk shelf-life
Ultraviolet light technology will be touted as an
environmentally friendly alternative to heat pasteurisation for
milk in an Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA)
report due in the coming weeks.
Dairy UK, in collaboration with the Carbon Trust, recently held
workshops to discuss alternatives to the energy consuming
thermal process used for milk pasteurisation. Dairy UK
environment manager Fergus McReynolds told DairyReporter.com
that the most viable substitute could be UV pasteurisation.
This alternative subjects milk to precise frequencies of wave
lengths of light to interact with DNA and stop its ability to
reproduce. The advantages and drawbacks of the new technology
have been seen by this publication ahead of the IEEA’s report.

Fusk motarbetas
Det
fuskas i OS men det fuskas också med mjölk. Alla kommer väl ihåg
melaminskandalen i Kina. Redlighet i samband med
livsmedelsproduktion är något som branchen alltid måste jobba
med på samma sätt som idrotten alltid måste jobba med
dopingfusket. Vår uppgift är att ligga steget före när det
gäller att hitta nya metoder som bidrar till att fusket
upptäcks. Arla Foods har tillsammans med Foss i Danmark och
Fonterra på Nya Zeeland satt igång med att ta fram en enkel
metod som gör det lätt att upptäcka om det är tillsatt något i
mjölken. Upplägget för projektet är att ta fram en
kalibreringsmodell till Foss QA modul. På så sätt krävs ingen ny
utrustning om man redan har en MilcoScan eller motsvarande. Om
allting lyckas skall resultatet av samarbetet finnas
kommersiellt tillgängligt om ca två år.
