Effect of drying method on rheological properties of milk powders

건조방법에 따른 분류의 리올로지 특성

Milk powders were made by several drying methods and raw materials, and rheological properties of milk powders were investigated by an Instron Universial Testing Machine. The results obtained are summarised as follows. Bulk density of the drum dried whole milk powder was $0.382\;g/cm^3$ and was higher than that of other milk powders. The Hausner ratio, angle of repose and compressibility of the spray dried skim milk powder were 1.127, $32.5^{\circ}$ and 0.029 respectively. This result indicated that skim milk powder showed free flowing characterristics. The compressibility of the drum dried whole milk powder was decreased by the decrease of moisture content. Compressibility of the milk granule was 0.056 and was lower than that of milk powder. The spray dried milk powder of a grobular shape had higher solidity than the freeze or drum dried milk powder. The drum dried milk powder particles consist of irregular shape.

건조방법 및 원료성분을 달리하여 분유를 제조하고 이들분유의 몇 가지 리올로지 특성을 Instron Universal Testing Machine으로 측정하여 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 드럼건조된 전지분유의 부피밀도는 $0.382\;g/cm^3$으로 탈지 및 조제 분유보다 높았고, 분무 건조된 탈지 분유의 Hausner ratio, 평정각 및 compressibility 는 각각 1.127, $32.5^{\circ}$, 0.029로 탈지 분유는 자유롭게 흐르는 것을 보여주었으며, 드럼건조된 전지분유의 compressibility는 수분 함량이 4.96%에서 3.89%로 감소함에 따라 0.079에서 0.052로 낮아졌다. 전지분유 그래뉼의 compressibility는 0.056으로서 분유의 compressibility보다 낮았다. 분무 건조된 분유는 구형으로서, 동결건조나 드럼건조된 분유보다 더 견고함을 나타냈다.
