Koemelk: Effecten van bewerkingen op gezondheid

Summary in the original language of the document

A small percentage of the milk consumed in the Netherlands is raw, unprocessed milk. All milk distributed through shops and supermarkets are at least standardized and heat treated (e.g. pasteurized), and most of the consumption milk is homogenized. Yet, some consumers prefer to drink unprocessed, raw milk, because of its taste or expected positive health effect. In this report, the results of a literature research are presented. The changes in the milk as a result of processing and the potential effect of these changes on the health of humans are investigated.
