ABSTRACT
In five California cottage cheese factories, losses of curd as fines in whey and wash water averaged about 4% of the yield of curd. Evaluation of the profitability of recovering the fines indicated that a plant producing 12 million lb (5.4 million kg) of curd per year could save annually a net of about $160,000 using a centrifugal separator or $80,000 using a screen separator.
