Spray-drying milk powder

Production. The main difference in the production of sweet and milk chocolate is that in the production of milk chocolate, water must be removed from the milk. Many milk chocolate producers in the United States use spray-dried milk powder. Others condense fresh whole milk with sugar, and either dry it, producing milk cmmb, or blend it with chocolate Hquor and then dry it, producing milk chocolate cmmb. These cmmbs are mixed with...

Havelaar and co-workers [16] following studies launched by Pike et al. [51] have studied the applicability of the Arrhenius law for microbe stability in spray-dried milk powder. They have adapted the theory to the particular situation of microbial decay. 

It would be too tedious to go into details of the production of BCR CRMs for microbiological testing. The studies and detailed procedures have been published elsewhere [26]. As already mentioned the selected strains are first stabilised in spray-dried milk powder by a long storage at cool temperatures (-20 C) for sometimes several years. Then a fraction of this mother batch is mixed with sterile milk powder down to a level of contamination close to the target level. Usually, after the preparation of the diluted milk powder, a destabilisation of the population is noticed and the material is left for a longer period at low temperatures to reach again a stable contamination level. After... 

The stabilisation of microbial strains in spray-dried milk powder has allowed the preparation of several RM available from RIVM in the Netherlands and six BCR-CRMs. Some additional strains have demonstrated sufficient stability to be candidates for certification. Other types of materials could be or have been developed by various producers (see text). For certification purposes a similar approach to the one used by BCR could be used for these materials. 

Beside the help to all laboratories to test their own methods of determination, the major outcome of the programmes was the certification of reference materials in spray dried milk powder [36-41] as described in chapters 4, 5 and 7. The microbiology programme also demonstrated that a stepwise approach can be applied in other fields than chemistry even for living organisms. 

Creamy flavors in butter have been associated with 4-cis heptenal produced for autoxidation of isolinoleic acid (Begeman and Koster, 1964). Drier flavor in foam spray-dried milk has been associated with 6-rra x-nonenal, which has a flavor threshold in fresh milk of 0.07 pg/kg (Parks et al., 1969). Bassette and Keeney (1960) implicated a homologous series of autoxidation-derived saturated aldehydes, together with products of Maillard browning, in cereal-type off-flavors in powdered skim milk. Staleness in dry whole milk may be associated with saturated and unsaturated aldehydes (Parks and Patton, 1961). 2,4-Decadienal has been reported to be the principal compound responsible for the off-flavor associated with spontaneously oxidized milk (Parks et al., 1963). Oxidized flavors in sunlight-exposed milk are commonly related to C6 to Cn alk-2-enals... 

Riickold et al., 2000). This leads to greater or smaller discrepancies between the "official" results for moisture and the water content, depending essentially on the lactose content of the product. For the typical spray-dried milk such as full cream or skimmed milk powder these discrepancies are normally small as the lactose is in most cases amorphous.

The MaiUard reaction of lactose and proteins in mUk has long been investigated mainly from a view point of nutritional quaUty of pasteurized and powdered miUc or mUk products (2). AvaUability of an essential amino acid, lysine, is decreased by the reaction with lactose during heating for pasteurization and spray-drying for powdering of milk. Loss of avaUable lysine and production of reaction interm ates are estimated by amino acid analysis of acid hydrolysates of milk samples.

Milk from cows contains 3.2% protein, about 80% of which is casein. Casein is isolated by a precipitation process from milk, involving heating, rinsing to remove whey, and drying to a powder. The yield is about 3 kg/ 100 kg skim milk. Rennet casein is obtained when the casein is precipitated by chymosin enzyme, also known as rennet, and acid casein is produced when precipitation is accomplished by acidification. Acid casein is usually found in the form of sodium caseinate or calcium caseinate, which are water-soluble salts. Caseinates are made by reacting NaOH or CaOH with a slurry of casein curd or powder and then spray drying (Southward, 2010).
