Summary: | A strategy for an optimal process design of heat treatment equipment is presented. Mathematical models are developed which describe the heat-induced transformations in milk and the deposit formation at surfaces of equipment. The deposition rate is described by a reaction controlled adsorption reaction of aggregates of milk components. The amount of aggregates is relative to the concentration of unfolded beta-lactoglobulin, a product of the denaturation reaction. Implementation of the mathematical models in a computer program turned out to be a straightforward method for establishing optimal operating conditions in heat treatment equipment. |
