Abstract:
A homogenizer valve includes two or more pressurized, movable valve cones, two or more valve seats and a valve housing which surrounds the valve cones and the valve seats. The valve cones and the valve seats are disposed so that throttles occur between them, which constitute homogenization gaps, which have a gap height h. The homogenization gaps are disposed at an angle in relation to the horizontal plane. The homogenizer valve is intended to be used in existing homogenizers and has been particularly produced to be able to obtain an efficient homogenization for liquids which are processed at a lower pressure and with a greater flow, such as, for example, pasteurized milk.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of treating a whey protein by microparticulation. The microparticulation comprises heat treatment and mechanical processing of the whey protein. The method comprises the steps that the protein concentrate is caused to pass a high pressure pump and that the protein concentrate, at elevated pressure, is thereafter heat treated. After the heat treatment, the protein concentrate undergoes a mechanical processing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a gentle process for homogenizing fatty liquid natural products, particularly for homogenizing milk or cream products, e.g. cow's milk, sheep's milk or goat's milk, with a fat content of up to 50 wt. %.
