Physicochemical properties were compared between freeze concentrated and vacuum evaporated milk through colour, brix, viscosity, freezing point and pH measurement. Brix and viscosity in each concentrated milk significantly increased due to solute concentration(p<0.05), and there was not much difference between freeze concentrated and evaporative one. Brix results were numerically modeled with the logarithmic regression: Y=-33.460+18.4513 ${\cdot}$ ln(X), $R^2=0.9798$ and this model was fairly fit to predict the solute concentration in the middle of freeze concentration process. Freezing point significantly decreased according to concentration increment(p<0.05) and there was not the significant difference between freeze concentrated and evaporated one. Whereas, in colour and pH value, there were some differences between freeze concentrated and evaporative milk. Vacuum evaporated milk expressed higher discoloration comparing to freeze concentrated one. In pH values, evaporated milk showed the significantly decreased results comparing to freeze concentrated sample, whereas the pH value of freeze concentrated sample expressed the similar value to the reference milk.

This study was designed to compare various quality characteristics, such as nutrient composition and physicochemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk made by a newly developed continuous multi-stage process with those of evaporated milk. The freeze concentration process reduced the water content up to 73%. Most of the physicochemical properties of evaporated milk were different from raw milk; however the freeze-concentrated milk showed little difference from the raw milk. The thiobarbituric acid value and free fatty acid concentrations were significantly greater in the evaporated milk than in the freeze-concentrated milk. Several effects on sensory characteristics, such as off-taste, were significantly stronger in the evaporated milk. Overall, this study indicates that the newly developed freeze concentration technique results in improved physicochemical and sensory properties, and has little effect on most nutrient levels when compared with the evaporation process. Further research is necessary to further elucidate the chemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk.

Basic rheological data of dandelion leaf concentrates were determined to predict processing aptitude and usefulness of dandelion leaf concentrates as functional food materials. Hot water and 70% ethanol extracts of dandelion leaves were concentrated at 5, 20, and 50 Brix, and their static and dynamic viscosities, and Arrhenius plots were investigated. Most concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with hot water and 70% ethanol showed flow behaviors close to Newtonian fluid based on power law model evaluation. Apparent viscosity of concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with hot water and 70% ethanol decreased with increasing temperature. Yield stresses of concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with hot water and 70% ethanol by Herschel-Bulkley model application were 0.020-0.641 and 0.017-0.079 Pa, respectively. Activation energies of concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with hot water and 70% ethanol were $2.102-32.669{\times}10^3$ and $1.657-5.382{\times}10^3\;J/mol{\cdot}kg$ with increasing concentration, respectively. Loss modulus (G") predominated over storage modulus (G') at all applied frequencies, showing typical flow behavior of low molecular solution. G' and G" of concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with hot water slowly increased with increasing frequency compared to those of concentrated dandelion leaves extracted with 70% ethanol.

Freeze concentration of milk was carried out through the controlled recrystallization of ice in a multi-stage freeze concentrator. Rheological characteristics of ice slurries were analyzed to determine efficient concentration levels for the freeze concentration process. It was determined that efficient concentration level was 17% of total solids in the first and 27% in the second stage. Physicochemical properties were compared between freeze concentrated and evaporated milk. Freeze concentrated milk was more similar in color appearance to control milk than was evaporated milk. pH significantly decreased in evaporated milk than in freeze concentrated milk. pH of freeze concentrated milk resulted in similar value to control. These results indicated the advantages of freeze concentration as a non-thermal milk processing technology in terms of physicochemical properties. Consequently, we investigated the influence of ice recrystallization on the rheological characteristics of ice slurries and physicochemical properties of freeze concentrated milk.

This study was carried out to compare the changes of nutrients, sensory and chemical properties of freeze-concentrated and evaporated milks during storage. For pasteurization, the freeze-concentrated milk containing 27% of total solid was treated with 150 rpm ozone for 5 min, and 99% of microflora was eliminated. Also, the activities of protease and lipase decreased 93.31% and 96.15%, respectively, and phosphatase showed negative activity. Total bacteria count was maintained below$2.0{\times}10^4$CFU/ml. During storage, TBA absorbance was lower in freeze-concentrated milk than that in the evaporated milk. The production of short-chain free fatty acids and free amino acids increased proportionally to the storage period in both samples. While the short-chain free fatty acid production was lower in the freeze-concentrated milk compared with that in the evaporated milk, the production of individual free amino acid was similar in both samples. In sensory evaluation, cooked flavor and color were much lower in the freeze-concentrated milk than that in the evaporated milk. Overall acceptability score was higher in the freeze-concentrated than the evaporated milk. Based on above results, ozone treatment for the freeze-concentrated milk pasteurization was positive at the elimination of microflora and enzyme inactivation. During storage, the freeze-concentrated sample minimized the change of color and TBA absorbance, the production of short-chain free fatty acid and vitamins than the evaporated milk. Therefore, the freeze-concentrated milk process in the present study resulted in the positive effect in minimizing nutrient loss and keeping quality of milk during storage.

The volatile flavor components of snow crabs from the Young-duk coast of Korea and their concentrated cooker effluent were isolated by a modified method from Likens and Nickerson, using a simultaneous distillation and extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by gas chromatography and GC-MS. The flavor profile of boiled crab demonstrated that the favorable flavor characteristic of crab involved a seafood-like note, and that of concentrated cooker effluent demonstrated that the weak boiled crab flavor involved a fishy note. The main flavor components of boiled crab were heterocyclic compounds including alkylpyrazines, thizoles and thiolanes, aliphatic ketones including 2-heptanone and nonanone. On the other hand, the main flavor components of cooker effluent were aldehydes including 3-methylbutanal, alipatic ketones including 2-heptanone and alkanes including 2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-pentadecane. Almost all of heterocyclic compounds, which seem to be important contributors to the flavor of boiled crab, were not identified in concentrated cooker effluent. As a result, there may be a need to add the crab flavor components formed through model experiments of Maillard reactions to the concentrated cooker effluent for human consumption.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to minimize quality degradation of concentrated blueberry puree by thermal treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, with citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. Methods: The color values, redness a, anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibition and tyrosinase inhibition activities were evaluated for quality parameters of concentrated blueberry puree. Results: The highest values of color value, redness a, anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibition and tyrosinase inhibition activities were 1% CA+0.5% ASM followed by 1% CA and control. The quality parameters of concentrated blueberry puree were significantly different between control and 1% CA+0.5% ASM treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion: During thermal treatment, quality degradation of concentrated blueberry puree was reduced by 1% CA+0.5% ASM treatment, which is expected for new acidulants.

Clarified apple, carrot and orange juices were prepared using ultrafiltration and their single and blend juices were further concentrated using ultrafiltration, freeze-drying, and rotary evaporation. Effect of concentration methods on the quality of concentrated single juices and juice blends was investigated. Turbidity values of samples concentrated by evaporation were significantly higher than those prepared by ultrafiltration and vacuum freezing regardless of juice source (i.e., apple, orange or carrot) or blending (p<0.05). The highest soluble solids contents were obtained for the samples concentrated by evaporation process. Concentrated apple juice contained significantly higher amount of vitamin C and soluble solids than concentrated orange and carrot juices regardless of concentration methods (p<0.05). For blended samples, no direct relationships between blend ratio and total amount of vitamin C were found; however, samples contained more apple juice showed the highest value of soluble solids regardless of concentration methods.

Plum highlighted as a health food is needed to diversify the processed products because labor storage is big problem since the fruit was producted massively in June. The Plum was extracted by the pressing type extractor after washing, drying and removing the seed by seed separator. The crude extract was concentrated with stainless steel vessel at different temperature and stirring speed. This study was obtained as follows. The sugar content of fresh plum concentrated extract was 55.3~58.3$^{\circ}$Brix, and of the freezing plum concentrated extract was 75.5~70.3$^{\circ}$Brix. In color difference, the freezing plum concentrated extract was more deep black than fresh plum. In change patten of pH, it was decreased as concentration was proceed. The final pH was 2.3~2.2 in fresh plum, and 1.8~2.2 in freezing plum. The total acid content of fresh plum concentrated extract and the freezing plum was 45.4~47.8, 60.3~60.9%, respectively. The content of evaporation at 85$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$ was constant irrespective of stirring speed. The yield of extraction of fresh plum was higher than freezing plum. According to this results, the use of stainless vessel, 50rpm, which gave a highly qualified plum concentrated extract.

Milk protein is often fractionated/concentrated by using various techniques in dairy industries. Among these techniques, ultrafiltration (UF) is particularly efficient at concentrating the casein fraction of milk protein. The objectives of this study were to produce casein hydrolysates by concentrating the casein fraction in skim milk using the UF technique and to investigate the chemical composition of the casein hydrolysates. The skim milk was concentrated using a UF laboratory test unit equipped with 10 kDa and 30 kDa membranes. After UF, the protein content of the milk was concentrated up to ~7.2% and the Ca was concentrated up to ~196 mg/100 g of milk. Trypsin was then added to the concentrated skim milk to produce the casein hydrolysates. The results of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the casein fraction was not present after hydrolysis, indicating that casein in the milk had been hydrolyzed. The Ca content in the casein hydrolysates was much higher (p<0.05) compared to Ca content in commercial casein phosphopeptides (CPP) indicating that was acidified during the manufacture of commercial CPP. In conclusion, it seems that casein hydrolysates containing large concentrations of protein and Ca can also be made from concentrated UF milk without acidification or renneting.
