Fat Separation in Evaporated Milk II. Age-Thinning of Concentrated, Sterilized Milk¹

Department of Dairy and Food Industries, University of Wisconsin, Madison

ABSTRACT

Data are presented to characterize further the phenomenon of age-thinning of evaporated milk. The loss of viscosity is inversely related to the logarithm of the storage time, and the slope of the curve for age-thinning is directly related to the storage temperature. These relationships can be expressed in mathematical terms. A method is presented for the utilization of the above relationships in the calculation of the average viscosity during the early stage of quiescent storage. In addition, a method is described whereby it is possible to dissipate quickly the temporary viscosity formed during sterilization.
