Introduction
Milk is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrums, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. The exact components of raw milk vary by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C. Cow's milk has a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, making it slightly acidic.


Types of milk
1)    Pasteurization
Pasteurization is a process of heating a food, usually liquid, to a specific temperature for a definite length of time, and then cooling it immediately. There are three types of milk pasteurization which are normal pasteurization, ultra-pasteurization, and ultra heat-pasteurization which differ in its temperature.
2)    Fresh milk
Fresh milk comes from the animals such as cow, buffalo, or goat with nothing removed and nothing added. Examples of fresh milk are nonfat milk, low-fat milk, flavored milk, and homogenized milk.

3)    Fermented milk
Fermented milk products also known as cultured dairy foods, cultured dairy products, or cultured milk products, are dairy foods that have been fermented with lactic acid bacteria. The fermentation process increases the shelf-life of the product, as well as adds to the taste and improves the digestibility of milk. Examples of fermented milk are sour cream, buttermilk, and yogurt.

1)    To make homemade cheese that can be use for cooking or eat at its own.
2)    To create and innovate the available product in the market and suitable for all ages.

Problem Faced
In weekly experiments, we have faced many problems that are challenging our ability as a student. Actually all of the groups members are give up. It is because we cannot get one main product to make the product done (rennet).
After had several discussion with group members and advisor, we continue to make the product but change it to cream cheese instinct of mozzarella cheese.

Recommendation

On products:
For cream cheese, we need to change on the flavor of the spices. It is not suit with the canapé. For mascarpone cheese, try to make it more light because it too rich with cream.
On subject:
In the case of subject matters, students are not 100% understanding about this subject. 




Conclusion
            This subject are slightly more too food science subject. Student need to read lot and understanding what is innovation and design. Doing some research in internet is must for the student. Not only understanding the subject, but also understanding what the main purpose of innovation the food is, what the effects if the food are not well handled, is the food can be accepted to the outsiders, and last but not list are the product can be market or not.
