Tetra Pak has launched the 2025 edition of its Dairy Processing Handbook, coinciding with World Milk Day on 1 June. This updated resource, marking 40 years since its first publication, is designed to equip dairy professionals with the latest insights and innovations in the industry. With Singapore’s dairy market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3% from 2025 to 2033, the handbook arrives at a crucial time for the sector.
The new edition introduces chapters on mixing technology, lactose-free dairy products, and sustainability in dairy processing. These additions aim to address the rising demand for health-conscious and sustainable dairy options. Charles Brand, Executive Vice President of Processing Solutions & Equipment at Tetra Pak, stated, “For 40 years, the Dairy Processing Handbook has been a cornerstone of our commitment to the dairy industry, reflecting our deep heritage and expertise.”
The handbook, authored by 35 experts, features over 460 pages and 600 illustrations, making it a comprehensive guide for industry professionals, academics, and students. It also includes a chapter on the primary production of milk, contributed by experts from DeLaval.
As lactose-free options gain popularity, the handbook’s focus on this segment reflects global consumer trends and offers new opportunities for innovation. Additionally, the sustainability chapter provides insights into transitioning towards more environmentally friendly operations, addressing the industry’s responsibility to reduce its 2.7% contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.
The 2025 edition of the Dairy Processing Handbook is set to empower the next generation of dairy professionals, fostering innovation and resilience in a rapidly evolving industry.
