“…For the WPC, on the other hand, the bulk price was used, which is $6000/t [16]. The composition of whey waste from dairy industry is taken as the averages of values found in literature [10,45,46], i.e., 4% carbohydrates, 4.5% fats, 1% minerals, 1% proteins and 89.5% water. The composition of the WPC was taken as the result calculated from the processing of the whey to WPC in the simulation and was the closest to the values in literature [13,47], namely 5.1% carbohydrates, 4.9% fats, 1.3% minerals, 78.7% proteins, and 10% water.…”

Bio-based plastics, produced from natural and renewable sources, have been found to be good replacers to petroleum-based plastics. However, economic analyses have not been carried out for most of them, specifically those from whey. In this study, a techno-economic assessment of the industrial-scale production of plastics from whey protein is carried out considering two different scenarios: (1) low-cost dairy waste whey (DWP) and (2) purchased whey protein concentrate (WPC), as feedstocks, using SuperPro Designer software. Key economic indicators such as operating cost, capital investment, annual revenue, payback time, and return-on-investment (ROI), were analyzed. Sensitivity analyses of different parameters were performed to account for market fluctuations and other uncertainties, using Scenario 2 as the base case. Results showed that both scenarios have the capacity of producing over 3200 metric tons/year (t/yr) (or 5.5 t/batch) of plastic. With the unit selling price of plastic set at $7,000/t, both the scenarios showed profitable outcomes with the plant’s payback time of 3.7 and 2.4 years, and ROI of 27.1% and 42.2%, for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, respectively. Sensitivity analyses showed that the unit plastic selling price was the most sensitive parameter, followed by the amount of feedstock WPC, and the number of batches.

“…Fortification of milk according to the consumer’s expectation can be done to strengthen the global demand of the milk [ 65 ]. Milk allergy is a common problem in children, so the removal of beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG) will eliminate this problem [ 66 ]. Genetic engineering can help in production of novel designer milk, thereby new milk products [ 42 ].…”

The antioxidant components of milk and their role in processing, ripening, and storage: Functional food

et al. 2019

The current rate of population growth is so fast that, to feed this massive population, a 2-fold increase in land is required for the production of quality food. Improved dietary products such as milk and its products with antioxidant properties and functional foods of animal origin have been utilized to prevent chronic diseases. The designer milk contains low fat and less lactose, more protein, modified level of fatty acids, and desired amino acid profiles. The importance of milk and its products is due to the presence of protein, bioactive peptides, conjugated linoleic acid, omega-3 fatty acid, Vitamin D, selenium, and calcium. These constituents are present in milk product, play a key role in the physiological activities in human bodies, and act as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, immune boosting, and antimicrobial activities. Consumer awareness regarding benefits of designer foods such as milk and its products is almost non-existent worldwide and needs to be established to reach the benefits of designer food technologies in the near future. The main objective of this review was to collect data on the antioxidant properties of milk and its constituents which keep milk-derived products safe and preserved.

Ice cream is a dairy product with refreshing features, pleasing aroma and appearance as a result of the addition of different ingredients. Currently, there is little related documentation related to the economic evaluation of ice cream production plants, and none related to the simulation in SuperPro Designer of this type of process. In this paper, the techno-economic evaluation for an industrial-scale chocolate ice cream production plant was carried out. The production plant was based in Cuba and designed to produce 808 containers of 10 L of ice cream per batch (961,520 L per year). The mass and energy balance, as well as the main profitability and economic indicators of the process, were determined by the application of SuperPro Designer simulator. The Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return and Payback Time of the project were US $ 1,444,000, 24.45% and 4.45 years, respectively. The findings indicated that the chocolate ice cream production plant was feasible under the current economic condition of Cuba. The proposed chocolate ice cream production process begins to be unprofitable from a value of the cow milk unit cost of US $ 1.50/L and from a value of the interest rate of 24.45%.
