Explain the chemical structures and the chemical reactions that can
occur in milk
Level

Purpose
People credited with this unit standard are able to explain: the
chemical structure of milk fat and how it affects the physical
properties of milk fat; the chemical structure of milk proteins
and how it affects the physical properties of milk proteins; the
chemical structure of milk sugar and how it affects the physical
properties of milk sugar; the minor components of milk; and
chemical and physical reactions that can occur in milk in the
New Zealand dairy industry.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
and assessors, and special resource requirements.
