Buffalo milk draws commercial interest due to its nutritional properties and production yield, in addition to having a different structure in the A2A2 protein, allowing individuals allergic to cow's milk to consume it. This market is expanding but whose supply is still mainly on an artisanal scale. Dairy products made with A2A2 milk, such as buffalo milk, have a portfolio similar to that of bovine milk. However, condensed milk is one of the few products marketed exclusively with bovine milk. As for allergic consumers, there is a new line of products from plant origin. In light of the above, the present work aimed to prepare condensed milk from buffalo milk, using a flowchart and description of technological processes. The mass balance for the production of 1000 liters of buffalo milk, including the addition of sugar, resulted in a production quantity of 1856 cans of condensed milk, each weighing 395g. The energy balance showed efficiency in the evaporation process, leading to cost savings. Other points in the production line were evaluated, such as the economic analysis for pricing condensed milk, a comparison with the market, and the treatment of mainly organic waste, which is common in every industry producing dairy products due to the high level of microbial load.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/AlergiaLeite de búfalaLeite A2A2Leite condensadoAllergyBuffalo milkMilk A2A2Condensed milkbachelorThesis
