鳀鱼蒸煮液陶瓷膜微滤浓缩的研究

本文研究了压力、温度、陶瓷膜孔径、蒸煮液浓度和投料方式对微滤浓缩鳀鱼蒸煮液膜通量的影响。微滤浓缩时,0.45 μm和0.14 μm陶瓷膜对蛋白质的浓缩效率相同,但选用0.14 μm陶瓷膜使整体膜浓缩效率提高;升高温度、压力等均能提高陶瓷膜通量;降低蒸煮液的浓度虽能增大陶瓷膜通量,但降低了蛋白质的浓缩效率。45 ℃浓缩时陶瓷膜通量较高,并且浓缩液的菌落总数、挥发性盐基氮（TVB-N）相对于浓缩因子的增长率最小,丙二醛（TBARS）的增长率与35 ℃、25 ℃相近。因此在温度45 ℃、压力0.3 MPa和选用0.14 μm陶瓷膜的条件下,采用间歇的投料方式作为陶瓷膜浓缩鳀鱼蒸煮液较优的操作条件。陶瓷膜清洗方面,复合清洗剂（1% NaOH+0.05% SDS）在45 ℃的清洗条件下,清洗40 min可使膜通量回复率达到98.99%,比单一清洗剂（1% NaOH）提高22.85%。

A microfiltration process to maximize removal of serum proteins from skim milk before cheese making

Microfiltration (MF) is a membrane process that can separate casein micelles from milk serum proteins (SP), mainly beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin. Our objective was to develop a multistage MF process to remove a high percentage of SP from skim milk while producing a low concentration factor retentate from microfiltration (RMF) with concentrations of soluble minerals, nonprotein nitrogen (NPN), and lactose similar to the original skim milk. The RMF could be blended with cream to standardize milk for traditional Cheddar cheese making. Permeate from ultrafiltration (PUF) obtained from the ultrafiltration (UF) of permeate from MF (PMF) of skim milk was successfully used as a diafiltrant to remove SP from skim milk before cheese making, while maintaining the concentration of lactose, NPN, and nonmicellar calcium. About 95% of the SP originally in skim milk was removed by combining one 3 x MF stage and two 3 x PUF diafiltration stages. The final 3 x RMF can be diluted with PUF to the desired concentration of casein for traditional cheese making. The PMF from the skim milk was concentrated in a UF system to yield an SP concentrate with protein content similar to a whey protein concentrate, but without residuals from cheese making (i.e., rennet, culture, color, and lactic acid) that can produce undesirable functional and sensory characteristics in whey products. Additional processing steps to this 3-stage MF process for SP removal are discussed to produce an MF skim retentate for a continuous cottage cheese manufacturing process.     

Selenium content of goat milk and its distribution in protein fractions.

This study reports on selenium distribution in goat milk. Skim milk was found to contain the major part (94%) of total milk selenium. The selenium distribution over casein and whey protein fractions depends on the separation method used, but irrespective of these methods, skim milk selenium is mainly associated with the casein fraction (greater than 69%). Approximately 9%, 7% and 24% of selenium is removed by dialysis (molecular cutoff 10-12 kDa) from skim milk, casein and whey respectively, indicating a major association of selenium with milk proteins. This observation is confirmed by selenium analysis of individual caseins and whey proteins isolated through ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Selenium concentrations of the different isolated milk proteins show considerable variation (caseins: 294-550 ng Se/g; whey proteins: 217-457 ng Se/g).     

Membrane Fractionation Processes for Removing 90% to 95% of the Lactose and Sodium from Skim Milk and for Preparing Lactose and Sodium‐Reduced Skim Milk

ABSTRACT: Pilot‐scale microfiltration (MF), microfiltration‐diafiltration (MDF), ultrafiltration (UF), ultrafiltration‐diafiltration (UDF), and nanofilration (NF) membrane fractionation processes were designed and evaluated for removing 90% to 95% of the lactose and sodium from skim milk. The study was designed to evaluate several membrane fractionation schemes as a function of: (1) membrane types with and without diafiltration; (2) fractionation process temperatures ranging from 17 to 45 °C; (3) sources of commercial drinking water used as diafiltrant; and (4) final mass concentration ratios (MCR) ranging from about 2 to 5. MF and MDF membranes provided highest flux values, but were unsatisfactory because they failed to retain all of the whey proteins. UDF fractionation processes removed more than 90% to 95% of the lactose and sodium from skim milk. NF permeate prepared from UDF cumulative permeate contained sodium and other mineral concentrations that would make them unsuitable for use as a diafiltrant for UDF applications. A method was devised for preparing simulated milk permeate (SMP) formulated with calcium, magnesium, and potassium hydroxides, and phosphoric and citric acids for use as UDF diafiltrant or for preparing lactose and sodium reduced skim milk (L‐RSM). MF retentates with MCR values of 4.7 to 5.0 exhibited extremely poor frozen storage stabilities of less than 1 wk at ?20 °C, whereas MCR 1.77 to 2.95 MDF and UDF retentates and skim milk control exhibited frozen storage stabilities of more than 16 wk. L‐RSM exhibited a whiter appearance and a lower viscosity than skim milk, lacked natural milk flavor, and exhibited a metallic off‐flavor.     

Coagulation and washing conditions for acid casein production from skim milk powder

Response surface methodology was used to study the production of acid casein from skim milk powder and to investigate the effects of pH, concentration and washing conditions (agitation, time, temperature and wash water ratio) on the end product. The washed curd was analysed for residual ash, minerals and lactose. The critical variables were found to be concentration and pH in relation to mineral content; and concentration and washing time for lactose. Surface response methodology provides a unique insight into the relationships between the variables related to the process and the results are used to explain the observations in terms of milk chemistry. The washing process was further evaluated in terms of the Murphree Stage Efficiency to elucidate the effect of the number of washing stages on residual whey components in the casein curd. This study contributes to understanding the extrusion process of skim milk powder which makes use of higher milk solids concentrations.     

Effects of polymerized goat milk whey protein on physicochemical properties and microstructure of recombined goat milk yogurt

Goat milk whey protein concentrates were manufactured by microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF). When MF retentate blended with cream, which could be used as a starting material in yogurt making. The objective of this study was to prepare goat milk whey protein concentrates by membrane separation technology and to investigate the effects of polymerized goat milk whey protein (PGWP) on the physicochemical properties and microstructure of recombined goat milk yogurt. A 3-stage MF study was conducted to separate whey protein from casein in skim milk with 0.1-µm ceramic membrane. The MF permeate was ultrafiltered using a 10 kDa cut-off membrane to 10-fold, followed by 3 step diafiltration. The ultrafiltration-diafiltration-treated whey was electrodialyzed to remove 85% of salt, and to obtain goat milk whey protein concentrates with 80.99% protein content (wt/wt, dry basis). Recombined goat milk yogurt was prepared by mixing cream and MF retentate, and PGWP was used as main thickening agent. Compared with the recombined goat milk yogurt without PGWP, the yogurt with 0.50% PGWP had desirable viscosity and low level of syneresis. There was no significant difference in chemical composition and pH between the recombined goat milk yogurt with PGWP and control (without PGWP). Viscosity of all the yogurt samples decreased during the study. There was a slight but not significant decrease in pH during storage. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus in yogurt samples remained above 10⁶ cfu/g during 8-wk storage. Scanning electron microscopy of the recombined goat milk yogurt with PGWP displayed a compact protein network. Results indicated that PGWP prepared directly from raw milk may be a novel protein-based thickening agent for authentic goat milk yogurt making.     

Isolation of caseins from whey proteins by microfiltration modifying the mineral balance in skim milk

The objective of this work was to study the effect of different salts and salt concentration on the isolation of casein micelles from bovine raw skim milk by tangential flow microfiltration. Tangential flow microfiltration (0.22 μm) was conducted in a continuous process adding a modified buffer to maintain a constant initial sample volume. This buffer contained calcium chloride (CaCl₂), sodium phosphate (Na₂HPO₄), or potassium citrate (K₃C₆H₅O₇) in concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 mM. The concentrations of caseins and whey proteins retained were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE and analyzed using the Scion Image software (Scion Corporation, Frederick, MD). A complete isolation of caseins from whey proteins was achieved using sodium phosphate in the range of 10 to 50 mM and 20 times the initial volume of buffer added. No whey proteins were detected at 50 mM but this was at the expense of low caseins being retained. When lower sodium phosphate concentrations were used, the amount of caseins retained was higher but a small amount of whey proteins were still detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE. Among the salts tested, calcium chloride at 50 mM and all volumes of buffer showed the higher retention of casein proteins. The highest casein:whey protein ratio was found at 30 mM CaCl₂, but no complete casein micelle isolation was achieved. Potassium citrate was the most ineffective salt because a rapid loss of caseins and whey proteins was observed at all concentrations and with low quantities of buffer added during the filtration process. Our results show the potential of altering the mineral balance in milk for isolation of casein micelles from whey proteins in a continuous tangential flow microfiltration system.     

Gelation of casein micelles in ��-casein reduced milk prepared using membrane filtration

Pasteurized skim milk was subjected to membrane filtration using a molecular weight cut-off of 80 kDa and a plate and frame pilot scale system at temperatures below 10 °C. Via this process, transmission of whey proteins and ??-casein through the membrane was achieved. The milk was concentrated to two times (based on volume reduction), and whey protein-free permeate was added to return to the original volume fraction of casein micelles in milk. This diafiltration process was carried out four times, and the retentate obtained was nearly free of whey proteins and with approximately 20% of ??-casein removed. The same membrane filtration was also carried out at 25 °C to achieve transmission of whey protein but not of ??-casein, and to obtain whey protein-depleted milk without depletion of ??-casein.The gelling behaviour of these samples, reconstituted to the original casein volume fraction, was examined using rheology and diffusing wave spectroscopy. When compared to the original skim milk it was found that there were no statistically significant differences in gelation behaviour during acidification, but differences were noted in gelation time and final stiffness modulus for samples undergoing renneting. These differences were attributed mostly to the changes in ionic composition, as when the serum composition of the retentates was re-equilibrated against the original skim milk by dialysis; the gelation behaviour of the samples was comparable to that of skim milk. The results clearly indicate the importance of the milk's overall ionic balance in the early stages of aggregation of rennet-induced gelation of milk.     

Pilot-scale ceramic membrane filtration of skim milk for the production of a protein base ingredient for use in infant milk formula

The protein composition of bovine skim milk was modified using pilot scale membrane filtration to produce a whey protein-dominant ingredient with a casein profile closer to human milk. Bovine skim milk was processed at low (8.9 °C) or high (50 °C) temperature using ceramic microfiltration (MF) membranes (0.1 μm mean pore diameter). The resulting permeate stream was concentrated using polyethersulfone ultrafiltration (UF) membranes (10 kDa cut-off). The protein profile of MF and UF retentate streams were determined using reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Permeate from the cold MF process (8.9 °C) had a casein:whey protein ratio of ∼35:65 with no α_S- or κ-casein present, compared with a casein:whey protein ratio of ∼10:90 at 50 °C. This study has demonstrated the application of cold membrane filtration (8.9 °C) at pilot scale to produce a dairy ingredient with a protein profile closer to that of human milk.     

Valuation of milk composition and genotype in cheddar cheese production using an optimization model of cheese and whey production

A mass balance optimization model was developed to determine the value of the κ-casein genotype and milk composition in Cheddar cheese and whey production. Inputs were milk, nonfat dry milk, cream, condensed skim milk, and starter and salt. The products produced were Cheddar cheese, fat-reduced whey, cream, whey cream, casein fines, demineralized whey, 34% dried whey protein, 80% dried whey protein, lactose powder, and cow feed. The costs and prices used were based on market data from March 2004 and affected the results. Inputs were separated into components consisting of whey protein, ash, casein, fat, water, and lactose and were then distributed to products through specific constraints and retention equations. A unique 2-step optimization procedure was developed to ensure that the final composition of fat-reduced whey was correct. The model was evaluated for milk compositions ranging from 1.62 to 3.59% casein, 0.41 to 1.14% whey protein, 1.89 to 5.97% fat, and 4.06 to 5.64% lactose. The κ casein genotype was represented by different retentions of milk components in Cheddar cheese and ranged from 0.715 to 0.7411 kg of casein in cheese/kg of casein in milk and from 0.7795 to 0.9210 kg of fat in cheese/kg of fat in milk. Milk composition had a greater effect on Cheddar cheese production and profit than did genotype. Cheese production was significantly different and ranged from 9,846 kg with a high-casein milk composition to 6,834 kg with a high-fat milk composition per 100,000 kg of milk. Profit (per 100,000 kg of milk) was significantly different, ranging from $70,586 for a high-fat milk composition to $16,490 for a low-fat milk composition. However, cheese production was not significantly different, and profit was significant only for the lowest profit ($40,602) with the κ-casein genotype. Results from this model analysis showed that the optimization model is useful for determining costs and prices for cheese plant inputs and products, and that it can be used to evaluate the economic value of milk components to optimize cheese plant profits.
