The retention of a homologous series of saturated n-methyl ketones during the spray drying of milk systems of different fat contents was examined. Retention of the ketones increased with molecular weight, particularily in the fat-free system. The addition of fat up to 21%
The retention of n-methyl ketones during spray drying of skim milk systems containing different types of fats was examined. Methyl ketones (C4 to Cl 1) were blended into butter, coconut, hydrogenated coconut, soybean, or hydrogenated soybean oil and then homogenized into condensed skim milk yielding a model system 25% fat (dry basis) and 30% total solids. The model systems were spray dried and then analyzed for ketone retention by making 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives followed by high-pressureliquid chromatography. Ketone retention increased with carbon chain length up to 2-octanone and then was constant. There were significant differences in ketone retention between fats with coconut providing the best retention and soybean oil the poorest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
