Homogenisation

Video demonstrating the homogenisation process and what it is used for.

This video is filmed in the University of Reading Pilot Plant, part of the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences. It’s purpose is to provide students with experience of industrial processes and also to enable pilot processes to be tested for research purposes.

This film featured milk being homogenised but the process applies to other products too, for example, mayonnaise. Can you think of food items you commonly buy that are homogenised? Does it say so on the packaging? Please share your findings with other Learners in the comments.
