  autumn 2006

Fat in Milk

• Fat cholesterol
• Milk fat is a complex mixture of lipids
• Triglycerides are the major lipid type
• Stabilized by phospholipids, proteins
• Saturated fatty acids
• butyric and caproic
• Released by hydrolysis, lipase
• Fat soluble vitamins
• Fat droplets form the cream of milk (also
  contains some protein)
• Fat is the major energy source of the young
  obtained from milk

Homogenization

• Milk pumped through small openings under high
  pressure
• Produces finely divided fat solubles
• lipoproteins stabilized emulsion
• fat globules size
• viscosity
• susceptibly to rancidity

4
Homogenization

• The homogenisation process reduces the size of
  the butterfat globules
• The size of the butterfat globules are directly
  relating to the creaming rate of the milk

5
Homogenization

• With poorly homogenised milk after a certain time
  a fat ring appears in the milk cartons or
  bottles. Customers dissatisfaction!
• Manufactures of consumer milk try to retard the
  creaming rate often by over-homogenise the milk,
  but homogenisation is consuming high energy and
  therefore very costly.
• With measurement of the homogenisation degree the
  milk plant has the possibility to control the
  quality of the product, at the same time it can
  safe energy.

Globulyzer

• To measure quickly the average size of the fat
  globules in milk and some milk products.
• The results of a measurement are expressed in
  microns.

• Hopefully we will get a lot of orders from your
  customers too. This instruments can be a good
  door opener for us into several dairy food
  industries
• Success !
