  • Continuous crystallization system with controlled nucleation for milk fat fractionation
    Patent number: 6383456
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of fractionating mixed triglycerides, more particularly anhydrous milk fat, are disclosed. The apparatus and method provide for the separation of the steps of nucleation and crystal growth. Precise control of energy input for nucleation and crystal growth in a static environment at higher temperatures than the nucleation temperature result in the production of a solid fraction characterized by higher yields and a uniform MMT.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2002
    Assignee: Wiconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Richard W. Hartel, Liang Baomin, Shi Yuping
