UNIVERSITY PARK - A $250,000 gift from William and Lois Dietrich of Reading could help Penn State researchers improve the quality of milk and other dairy products. Discovering better methods of processing dairy products is the job of a bioprocessing engineer, and that’s a position Penn State soon hopes to add to its food science faculty. “By modifying the protein, fat and carbohydrate components of milk, we can make it a more versatile ingredient in other foods,” said Dr. Lowell Satterlee, head of Penn State’s food science department. “If we can improve the foaming properties of milk, we can develop better whipped toppings, tastier candy bars and creamier ice creams,” he added. “And by improving milk’s baking properties, we car. improve the color, flavor and texture of bread and other baked goods.” The $250,000 Dietrich gift will help the University attract a top scientist and researcher to focus on this type of research.

Satterlee said the bioprocessing engineer will apply new technologies in molecular biology, microbiology, enzymology and engineering to the processing of dairy products. The new faculty member will work closely with the colleges of science and engineering and Penn State’s Biotechnology Institute. In addition to modifying the various components of milk, the bioprocessing engineer will use new, more efficient microorganisms and enzymes in the fermentation process. This should also result in improved processing and better products, according to Satterlee. “Cheeses, yogurts and sour creams are all made through the fermentation process,” he said.

Their two standards exceed those of the United States Public Health Service required for all dairy farmers. However, the standards set by United are readily ob tainable by the producers. Conscientious dairy farmers will not only benefit by direct payment for producing quality milk, but will also benefit in increased production per cow through better management. James G.

United, in announcing the new quality incentive bonus stated, “We are pleased with the new quality bonus program arranged with Dietrich’s.
