A modified ultra high temperature treatment for reducing microbial lipolysis in stored milk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
Cultures of Pseudomonas P46 grown in whole milk to contain ∼ 2 × 107 or 1 × 108 viable cells ml−1 before ultra high temperature (UHT) treatment (140°C for 5 s) demonstrated near linear increases in the concentration of short-chain free fatty acids (FFA) during storage at 20°C. However with 5 × 106 cells ml−1 before UHT heat treatment there was no detectable increase in these FFA levels over a 6-month storage period. A novel heat treatment (140°C for 5 s followed by 60°C for 5 min) reduced the rate of production of volatile FFA to < 10% of the rates achieved after the normal UHT treatment.
