Abstract

Food fluids such as milk are thermally unstable, and poly-flow and temperature conditions, reaction may give favourable results, such as texture development, or harmful fouling. This application seeks funds to investigate the engineering factors which govern both processes. A computational model for reaction in flowing food fluids will be developed and validated, incorporating data on milk agglomeration kinetics and physical properties obtained in collaboration with the BBSRC Centre for Biochemical Engineering. This will be used to develop understanding of interactions between shear, temperature and product chemistry.
