Milk is a highly perishable food so to enable it to be stored and distributed for consumption without spoilage, and without being a health risk through growth of pathogenic bacteria, it is heat treated. The most common type of heat treatment in many parts of the world is pasteurisation, which…

The food industry, and within it the dairy industry, is experiencing a noticeable change. Novel processing technologies and sustainability are trendy terms. Also, the following concepts are under the same trend: efficient use of raw materials (increased yield), less waste generation, reduction of product losses during manufacturing and overall food…

Improving creaminess in food products, whilst simultaneously decreasing fat, remains a challenge for food manufacturers worldwide. Yoghurts are inherently perceived as healthy food products and can be made even healthier by reducing fat. However, reducing fat in yoghurt without compromising desirable textural characteristics like creaminess is difficult to achieve. One…

Pasteurisation is a relatively mild heat treatment designed to inactivate vegetative pathogenic microorganisms in milk. Pasteurisation, coupled with refrigerated storage of pasteurised product, makes milk safe for human consumption and also extends the shelf-life of the product. Pasteurised milk is not sterile, with refrigerated storage inhibiting / retarding the growth…

In order to obtain safe dairy products with a long shelf-life, heating processes have been designed to ensure the necessary inactivation of the indigenous microbial flora. One of the methods is the ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing of milk which has become widespread since the implementation of aseptic packaging processes1. Nowadays,…

In literature, there are many publications related to the microbial inactivation by PEF in LWE. However, there is not yet an answer to the question: is it possible to pasteurise liquid whole egg with pulsed electric fields? This could be due to the difficulties in comparing results since different treatment…

High pressure technology offers new opportunities for nutritional and healthy milk products. Based on skim milk and added whey protein or hydrocolloids, high pressure makes it possible to produce milk products ranging from yoghurtlike to pudding-like, but without the sour taste and with less sugar. Moreover, high pressure is a…

Agronomic foods are often naturally contaminated with harmless and pathogenic microorganisms. In most cases, agronomic goods are freshly processed, or appropriately processed to preserve and increase shelf stability. Common preservation techniques include heat pasteurisation or sterilisation, irradiation, disinfestations with gaseous substances etc. In particular, the two latter techniques are rarely…
