Dairy Science- Filtration of Milk, etc.
Filtration of milk Filtration of milk is done for removing the visible matters from the milk. The purpose of milk filtration is for separating unwanted particles. The process involve in filtration are- Reverse Osmosis. Nano filtration. Ultra filtration. Micro filtration. 1. Reverse Osmosis- The milk passes through the small pores of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane which removes water from the cooled milk. 2. Nano filtration- Nano filtration is a process which is used with water for removal of disinfections in dairy products such as natural organic matter and synthetic organic matter. 3. Ultra filtration- Ultra filtration is used for separating milk according to their molecular size. In ultra filtration of milk some molecules like lactose, soluble mineral and water passes the membrane. Ultra filtration milk is widely used in making dairy products. 4. Micro filtration- Micro filtration is a process in which 0.1% to 10 micron membrane are used for concentrating, purifying and sep...
