SOP Quiz: Mixing and Dispensing of Milk for Pasteurization
-
Why is the first bottle dispensed the temperature control bottle?
It shows the outlier (warmest) temperature
(wrong answers:
So we don't forget,
It is easiest to do it first,
To keep the milk cold)
-
For how long must the pool be mixed before taking a sample?
3 minutes
(wrong answers:
2 minutes,
5 minutes,
Until you are finished setting up)
-
Why do we dispense the first cycle (one bottle) back into the pooling container?
To clear air bubbles from the tube
(wrong answers:
The second cycle is easier to calibrate,
The milk at the bottom isn't mixed in,
The first bottle is unlucky)
-
What is crucial to do before dispensing the first bottle of the batch?
Calibrate the dispenser to get the correct amount
(wrong answers:
Sticker all the caps,
Put the pool sheet away,
Put the Tinytag on the control bottle)
-
Why must filled bottles be capped immediately?
To reduce the amount of time exposed to potential contamination
(wrong answers:
So they don't get knocked over & spill,
So we can sticker the caps,
To keep the milk cold)
