The aim of this work was to develop a methodology to calculate the cooling curve for the sweetened condensed milk with added whey powder production and to assess the cooling regime effect on the distribution of lactose crystals’ size and their microstructure. It is proposed to use a two-stage cooling curve. At the first stage, the cooling is carried out at a high speed, and at the second with a speed that varies depending on the rate of lactose crystallization. Electron microscopic studies have confirmed the cooling regime effect on the crystals’ microstructure. The practical use of the developed regime showed that the two-stage cooling regime allows to reduce the size of lactose crystals (P < 0.05) and improve the quality of the finished product.
The article is devoted to studying the effect of membrane filtration on the change in the biological value of natural curd whey and its nanoconcentrate. As the statistics shows, no more than 20% of natural curd whey is subjected to deep processing. Some techniques for increasing the dry matter concentration have been considered, and their disadvantages have been identified. The most up-to-date technique–nanofiltration–has been chosen, the main advantages of which are high efficiency of concentration and partial demineralization effect during whey processing. The purpose of the work is to study the effect of nanofiltration treatment on the change in the amino acid composition of natural curd whey and nanoconcentrate. The work studies the natural curd whey received in the process of low-fat. Experimental data showing the essential amino acids content have been obtained. The amino acids content was determined by gas chromatography. The calculation of the amino acid score in natural curd whey and its nanoconcentrate has been done. Limiting amino acids have been found both in natural curd whey and nanococentrate. The values of comparable redundancy index, the essential amino acids index, and the utility coefficient were calculated and compared. Using the obtained calculations, it is possible to conclude that the nanoconcentrate in comparison with natural curd whey has a higher balance of essential amino acids, their number increases, and it is necessary to take these data into account when developing new types of products having increased biological value.
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.
