Homogenization

Homogenization describes a method used in Agricultural Science, specifically in dairy products.

Homogenization is used on fresh milk to prevent the separation of a cream layer.

Homogenization forces hot milk, under high pressure, through small nozzles[?]. The fat globules[?] become small enough so that they remain evenly dispersed throughout the milk.
