History

Condensed milk was introduced to the U.S. by Gail Borden which he made using a process under the patent issued on August 19, 1856. It became popular for those people who were remote from farm sources, since it was capable of long term storage. The invention of evaporated milk followed three decades later when John B. Meyenberg emigrated to the U.S. from Switzerland where he had devised the process, but had no support to begin production. He obtained two U.S. patents for his process and sterilizing apparatus, issued on November 25, 1884. He formed the Helvetia Milk Condensing Company on February 14, 1885, with a number of farmers and businessmen of Highland, Illinois, as stockholders. By June 14, 1885, the first canned "Highland Evaporated Cream" was ready to be marketed. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Modern Production Process

Evaporated milk is fresh, homogenized milk from which 60 percent of the water has been removed. It is then chilled, fortified with vitamins and stabilizers, packaged, and finally sterilized. A slightly caramelized flavor results from the high heat process, as does a slightly darker color than fresh milk. The evaporation process also concentrates the nutrients and the calories. Thus, for the same weight, undiluted evaporated milk contains more calories than fresh milk. Homogenization is a term used in Chemistry, agricultural science, food technology and in cell biology. ...
