pH, the Fundamentals for Milk and Dairy Processing: A Review
Abstrak
The ability to measure and capture real-time unit operational data has significant benefits during dairy processing, whether it is the basics, such as measuring temperature, pressure, and flow rates, or more recent developments in the case of in-line viscosity and product-compositional measurements. This rapid data collection has helped increase profitability by reducing energy costs, minimizing product loss, and allowing automated control. Advances in technology have allowed for in-line measurements of the composition and some physical attributes such as particle size and viscosity; however, an attribute that spans both compositional and physical attributes is pH, directly influenced by composition but also environments, such as temperature and dry matter content. pH is measured for a plethora of reasons, such as a measure of milk quality (microbial spoilage), acidification of casein, cheese production, maintaining optimum conditions during protein hydrolysis, etc. However, very little is published on the fundamentals of pH and pH measurement in dairy processing; rather, it is usually a cause-and-effect phenomenon. This review visits one of the oldest analytical considerations in the dairy industry and re-examines how it is affected by product composition and processing conditions.
