초록

Freeze concentration of milk was carried out thorough the controlled recrystallization of ice in a multi-stage freeze concentrator. Artificial temperature control was used to induce ice recrystallization via a heat and cold shock process. In each stage of freeze concentration, the recrystallization time was fixed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 hr to compare the solute concentrate, yield, Brix, ice crystal size, and freezing point at each experimental condition. Higher concentrations of milk solids were seen with increased durations of recrystallization time, and a maximum total solids in the final product of 32.7% was obtained with a ripening time of 8 hr in a second stage process. Milk solid yield decreased according to the solute concentration and recrystallization time. The results of Brix and ice crystal size showed a positive correlation with recrystallizaiton time. These results suggest the possibility of freeze concentration being of practical use in the dairy industry.
