  • Patent number: 11096398
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing solid milk having suitable hardness for practical use by manufacturing powdered milk having good compaction moldability. In the manufacturing method of solid milk of the present invention, powdered milk for manufacturing solid milk is produced (S100), and then solid milk is produced by produced powdered milk. This manufacturing process (S100) comprises a gas dispersal process (S112) and a spray drying process (S114). In the gas dispersal process (S112), a prescribed gas is dispersed into liquid milk which is an ingredient of the powdered milk. In the spray drying process (S114), the liquid milk having a dispersed prescribed gas is sprayed, and the sprayed liquid milk is dried. By performing these processes, powdered milk is obtained. Solid milk is manufactured by solidifying the powdered milk.

  • Publication number: 20100285193
    Abstract: The present invention suggests a method for treating a liquid food, which is suitable for efficiently and effectively decreasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in liquid foods having high foaming property and low defoaming property such as skim milk. The dissolved oxygen concentration of the liquid food is decreased by putting the liquid food into a decompression vessel while heating the liquid food to a temperature higher than or equal to the saturation temperature (boiling point) of the liquid food under the decompression atmosphere in the decompression vessel, or putting the liquid food into a decompression vessel while depressurizing the decompression vessel to a pressure lower than or equal to the saturation vapor pressure of the liquid food at the temperature of the liquid food.
