Its main purpose is to diminish the volume and to enhance the shelf life. But this form of milk still has limited shelf life. Attempts to prolong the shelf life of this product have been made through theaddition of sugar (sweetened condensed milk) or byheat processing (evaporated milk) to destroy the microorganisms.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>HISTORY<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The evaporation of milk has been known for many years, even as early as in the year of 1200 when Marco Polo described the production of a paste like milk concentrate in Mongolia.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The present day concept of preservation of milk by concentration and by application of heat had the beginning with the pioneering work of Frenchman Nicholas Appert around 1793.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Gail Bordon of United States of America was first to commercially exploit the method of concentration of milk under vacuum. He was awarded U.S. Patent in the year 1856 for processing milk in a semi fluid state after evaporating under vacuum. Commercial production of sweetened condensed milk by Gail Bordenstarted in1856.By 1858 Borden's milk, sold as Eagle Brand, had gained a reputation for purity, durability and economy.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">In 1864, Gail Borden's New York Condensed Milk Company constructed the New York Milk Condensery in Brewster, New York.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The basic principle of the process of sterilization by heat was introduced by Mr. John B.

Evaporation means the removal of solvent as vapour from asolution or slurry under such conditions that no attempt is made to separatecomponents of the vapour. In majority of evaporation process the solvent is waterand latent heat for evaporation is supplied by condensing steam and heat from thesteam is transmitted to the solution indirectly through the metallic surfaces.The unit in which heat transfer takes place is called heating element or calandria.An effect is one or more bodies\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">boiling at the samepressure. A multiple effect evaporator is one in which vapour from one effect isused as heating medium for another effect boiling at a lower pressure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">BASICS OF EVAPORATORS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Vacuum Pan<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">This type of evaporator is employed in the majority of condenseries for the manufacture of condensed milk. Batch operating type evaporator is preferred when relatively small quantities of milk are to be handled in a batch operation for product like sweetened condensed milk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The pansare internally fitted with steam coils and the lower portion is steam jacketed.The operation is usuallycarried out at 54-63\u00b0C, the milk boils at this temperature owing to reducedpressure (63.5 cm of mercury) which is maintained in the pan. A vacuumpump is used to maintain the vacuum in the pan. When the water vapour, which rises fromboiling milk inside the pan, comes in contact with cold metal surface orcold spray of water in the condenser, it is condensed and carried off aswater by means of pumps or other means.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Falling Film Evaporators<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">This type of evaporator consists of verticaltube bundles heated by condensing steam on the outside. Theliquid to be evaporated is fed to the top of the tube and allowed to flowdownwards on the inside of the tubes. The liquid will flow downwards forming a thin film, from which the boiling\/evaporation will take place because of the heat applied by the steam.The resulting vapourand concentrated liquid flow into a separator at the foot of the evaporator.The vapour is drawn off from the top of the separator and liquid from thebottom by a pump.This type of evaporator is desirable from a product point of view, as it offers a short holding time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">As vapour, from the evaporated milk contains almost all the applied energy, it is obvious to utilize this to evaporate more water by condensing the vapour. This is done by adding another calandria to the evaporator. This new calandria - the second effect - where the boiling temperature is lower, now works as condenser for the vapours from the first effect, and the energy in the vapour is thus utilized as it condenses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Multiple effects<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">In the first evaporation unit, steam is introduced and part of the water is evaporated from the milk. The steam condenses, and vapour is separated from the concentrated milk. The vapour is used to evaporate water from the concentrated milk in the second effect, etc. The flows of milk and vapour are co-current. The number of effects varies from 3 to 7. Thus greateconomies of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">operation may be made in large installations with multiple- effect evaporator. The vapour coming from the last effect is condensed in a special condenser; the temperature of the water in the condenser determines the boiling temperature in the last effect. The boiling temperatures in the other effects are determined by the pressure drop of the vapour when being transported to the next effect.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">SEPARATORS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">As the vapours generated from the evaporation are used as heating media in the \"next\" calandria, any product must be separated, since it would otherwise contaminate the condensate and further represent a loss. The majority of the concentrate is discharged from the bottom of the calandria below the tube bundle. The separation is done in a separator with tangential vapour inlet, connected to the calandria below the tube. To reduce space requirements a new development has taken place with the design of the Wrap-Around Separator. It is integrated into the base of the calandria. It has the same high efficiency as the classical separator with a low pressure drop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Sweetened condensed milks are milk products which can be obtained by the partial removal of water from milk with the addition of sugar, or by any other process which leads to a product of the same composition and characteristics. It may sometimes contain added refined lactose, calcium chloride, citric acid and sodium citrate, sodium salts of orthophosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid not exceeding 0.3 per cent by weight of the finished product.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Manufacture of sweetened condensed milk<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Sweetened condensed milk is milk that is concentrated by evaporation, to which sucrose is added to form an almost saturated sugar solution, after which it is packed. The high sugar concentration is primarily responsible for the keeping quality of the product and for its fairly long shelf life, even after the can has been opened, although it then will eventually become moldy.Different steps involved in the manufacture of Sweetened Condensed Milk are given in the Figure 1.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Receiving Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Raw milk received for the manufacture of condensed milkshould be of good quality. This is important because the quality and marketabilityof final product depends upon the initial quality of raw milk.As far as possible, milk should be fresh, sweet and should be free from off-flavors. It should not have sediments.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-163 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp04.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2018\/07\/1-40.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"601\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Fig.1 <\/strong>Manufacturing steps for sweetened condensed milk<strong> <em>Filtration\/Clarification:<\/em><\/strong>Milk after weighing should be clarified and filtered to remove visible foreign matter.Simple filtration may remove suspended particles by straining process while clarification removes the same by centrifugal sedimentation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Standardization of Milk<\/em><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: 1em\">:<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">This is done to conform to the legal standards in the end product.

Pathogens and potential spoilage organisms must be killed. Among the enzymes, milk lipase should primarily be inactivated; because if present, it can cause severe rancidity.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The heating intensity considerably affects viscosity and also age thickening and gelation of the product, so the actual heat treatment must be adjusted to these properties. Forewarming also helps in dissolving the sugar which is added during thenext stage of operation. Further, evaporation takes place more rapidly if heated milk is fed into vacuum pan or evaporator during concentration.The temperature-time of forewarming extends over a wide range, such as 82-93\u00b0C for 5-15 minutes; or 116-149\u00b0C for 0.5 to 5 minutes. The modern trendis towards high temperature short time heating such as 115-118\u00b0C withoutholding. Tubular heat exchangers are commonly used for fore warming orpreheating; either a double-tube or shelf-and-tube heat exchangers are preferred.Plate heat exchangers may also be used.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Addition of Sugar<\/em><\/strong><em>:<\/em>Sugar is added to the milk for the purpose of preserving the condensed milk without resorting to sterilization by heat. This can simply be added to the original milk. The amount added can be adjusted readily, and the sugar is pasteurized along with the milk. However, this procedure causes fairly extensive Maillard reactions during heating and evaporation, and above all, a faster age thickening. Alternatively, a concentrated sugar solution, which should be sufficiently heat-treated to kill any osmophilic yeasts, is added at the end of the evaporation step.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Amount of Sugar \/ Sugar Ratio: <\/em><\/strong>The quantity of sugar added to milk should be enough to preserve the milk. It has been recommended that a sugar ratio of 62.5% would protect the condensed milk from bacterial defects. Generally sugar ratio of 62.5 to 64.5 % is considered\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">adequate to protect condensed milk against bacterial spoilage and to protect against causing sugar crystallization. Sugar ratio is the sugar-in-water concentration of condensed milk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe following formula is used for this purpose.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-164 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp04.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2018\/07\/1-41.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"57\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Amount of sugar to be added to milk to get the desired % Sugar in condensed milk:<\/em><\/strong>First determine ratio of concentration by dividing Percent total milk solids in condensedmilk by % total milk solids in fresh milk.

The low water content of the sweetened condensed milk implies a high viscosity and boiling point. Evaporation in continuously operating equipment with many effects is, therefore, not easy. Fouling, thus, readily occurs. It is difficult to accurately adjust the desired water content, which is mostly monitored by means of refractive index.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Striking the Batch:<\/em><\/strong>The term refers to the end of concentration operation in thevacuum pan as determined by specific gravity or density tests. The precise point atwhich the batch should be \u201cstruck\u201d depends largely upon the experience of vacuumpan operators. Samples are taken at regular intervals by means of the samplingcocks. Baume\u2019 hydrometer or a viscometerisused to determine the progress of concentration. Baume\u2019Hydrometer test is mostcommonly used for density tests of vacuum pan samples.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hydrometer scale may record the density either directly or indirectly. Forcondensed milk the Baume\u2019Hydrometer ranges from 30-37\u00b0 Be\u2019 at 49\u00b0C (120\u00b0F).When the desired concentration as indicated by the Baume\u2019 reading (32\u00b0Be\u2019) isreached, the batch of milk is ready for removal from\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">the pan. This operation iscalled striking the batch. The steam is shut-off, the vacuum broken and the milk runoff to cooling tank.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Final Standardization:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The fat, SNF, and the added sugar are already present in their desired ratio to each other. The third and final standardization, therefore, has to do only with the adjustment of the % of total solids, if such adjustment is necessary or desired.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Cooling of Sweetened Condensed Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Cooling of condensed milk is essential to control the texture of condensed milk. It is absolutely essential to cool the product promptly to desired temperature because in these steps, formation of large lactose crystals must be avoided. As the condensed milk is cooled, lactose which is less soluble than sugar crystallizes out and if the lactose crystals are small enough these crystals will not be detected but if they are too large they will impart sandy texture to condensed milk.To avoid this defect it is necessary to create conditions favorable for maximum crystallization of lactose. Consequently, seed lactose is added. Before that, the condensed milk must be cooled to a temperature at which lactose is supersaturated so that the seed lactose does not dissolve.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Crystallization:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The purpose of this is to produce mass crystallizationof lactose. It is the period in the cooling process when sweetened condensed milkreaches a temperature, which is most favorable for rapid crystallization of lactose.The relative smoothness of product depends upon number and size of crystals present. Our main aim is not to prevent the formation of crystals but our main aim is to form more crystals having smaller size. For sweetened condensed milk of average composition the temperature of maximum rapidity of crystallization is around 30\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Seeding:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Crystallization of lactose is usually assisted by the addition of fine powder of lactose or small quantity of condensed milk from previous batch in which the lactose crystals are in minute form. Lactose should be of smallest possible size preferably 200 mesh (&lt;10 \u00b5) having sharp crystal edges. To avoid contamination of product, the lactose used for seeding should be sterilized under vacuum at 93\u00b0C which will convert lactose hydrate to anhydrate. Then it is ground to fine particles in a perfect pulverized mill, filling in the can and sealing it. Then sealed can is sterilized at 130\u00b0C for 1-2 hours.Other alternative is to use spray dried skim milk powder as seed material. Seeding refers to the introduction of lactose in a very finepowder form during cooling process to provide nucleic for crystallization. Thepurpose is to give lactose, present in the super saturated state, an added incentive tocrystallize. Seeding at an optimum temperature for mass crystallization with properlyprepared lactose and with vigorous agitation yields large\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">number of small crystals of uniform size. The recommended amount of finally pulverized lactose for seedingpurpose is 375-500 gm per 1000 kg of initial milk taken or 0.1 to 0.3 percent ofcondensed milk. The usual seeding temperature is 27 \u2013 39\u00b0C for cow\u2019s milk and for buffalo milk it ranges from 30 \u2013 36\u00b0C. After crystallization is over, lower down the temperature to room temperature. This cooling is done by several methods. After cooling, it is again stirred for 20 minutes because, due to lower temperature, solubility decreases and there is possibility of crystallization.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Packaging Sweetened Condensed Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Packaging in cans is common. The cans are then covered with a lid and the seams are sealed. Cans and lids are first sterilized. The packaging room is supplied with air purified through bacterial filters. Sweetened condensed milk reaches the market in the form of bulk good and also in different size retail packs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">EVAPORATED MILK<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Evaporated milk is sterilized, concentrated, homogenized milk. The product can be kept without refrigeration and has a long shelf life; it is completely safe for the user. In this product no sugar is added as preservative. To achieve preservation the product is sterilized by heat after concentration and sold in the hermetically sealed container in which it has been sterilize. A major problem with sterilization is the heat stability; the higher the concentration of the milk, the lower its stability.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Manufacture of evaporated milk<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Various steps involved in the manufacture of evaporated milk are depicted in Figure 2. <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Receiving milk\/filtration\/clarification:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The raw milk used in the preparation of evaporated milk is treated in a similar manner to that which applies in case of sweetened condensed milk as discussed earlier. Variation of the quality of the milk has a direct effect on heat stability of evaporated milk and thus indirectly also influences the viscosity of the finished product. <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Standardization of Fat to SNF desired:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The milk that has passed inspection is then dumped into the weigh tanks and after sampling and recording weights; it is dropped into supply tank from which it is pumped over or through a cooler into holding tanks.

To ensure that the evaporated, homogenized milk does not coagulate during sterilization and at the same time does acquire a desirable viscosity, a series of sterilization tests is often done on small quantities of the evaporated milk to which varying amounts of a stabilizing salt (e.g. Na2HPO4) are added. The tests are needed because variation occurs among batches of milk. Essentially, the addition of the salt means adjusting the pH. Because further processing must be\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">postponed until the test results are available, this necessitates cooling the evaporated milk after its homogenization and storing it for a while.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Pilot Sterilization Test:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The purpose is to determine the amount and type of chemical stabilizers to be added to any given batch of condensed milk for most satisfactory heat stability. Heat coagulation of milk is influenced by many factors such as initial quality of raw milk, forewarming, concentration and sterilization. In raw milk it has been suggested that salt balance of milk i.e. ratio of calcium + Magnesium to citrate + Phosphate is important for the stability of milk towards heat. If the ratio is disturbed the heat stability may be affected. Depending on the location of pH of maximum stability with respect to natural pH of concentrated milk either sodium salt of orthophosphate (disodium phosphate) or calcium chloride\/monosodium phosphate are used as stabilizers. This is the basis of a process of pilot-sterilization in which various quantities of selected stabilizers are added to the concentrated milk in 170 ml (60 oz) tins which are then sterilized and the condition of the product carefully examined in order to determine whether any stabilizer is necessary and if so in what amount it should be used. Depending upon the type of milk and the processing condition used 100 to 300 gm of stabilizing salts per 100 kg of evaporated milk may be needed to improve the heat stability. Calculated amount of salt is added to the evaporated milk in the form of a solution using just enough water to dissolve it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Canning:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Packagingin cans is common.

Its main purpose is to diminish the volume and to enhance the shelf life. But this form of milk still has limited shelf life. Attempts to prolong the shelf life of this product have been made through theaddition of sugar (sweetened condensed milk) or byheat processing (evaporated milk) to destroy the microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The evaporation of milk has been known for many years, even as early as in the year of 1200 when Marco Polo described the production of a paste like milk concentrate in Mongolia.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The present day concept of preservation of milk by concentration and by application of heat had the beginning with the pioneering work of Frenchman Nicholas Appert around 1793.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Gail Bordon of United States of America was first to commercially exploit the method of concentration of milk under vacuum. He was awarded U.S. Patent in the year 1856 for processing milk in a semi fluid state after evaporating under vacuum. Commercial production of sweetened condensed milk by Gail Bordenstarted in1856.By 1858 Borden&#8217;s milk, sold as Eagle Brand, had gained a reputation for purity, durability and economy.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">In 1864, Gail Borden&#8217;s New York Condensed Milk Company constructed the New York Milk Condensery in Brewster, New York.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The basic principle of the process of sterilization by heat was introduced by Mr. John B. Meyenberg &#8211; a native of Switzerland. Jhon. B. Meyenberg migrated to United States was awarded a patent in 1884 for a process of sterilization of milk by steam under pressure.

Evaporation means the removal of solvent as vapour from asolution or slurry under such conditions that no attempt is made to separatecomponents of the vapour. In majority of evaporation process the solvent is waterand latent heat for evaporation is supplied by condensing steam and heat from thesteam is transmitted to the solution indirectly through the metallic surfaces.The unit in which heat transfer takes place is called heating element or calandria.An effect is one or more bodies\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">boiling at the samepressure. A multiple effect evaporator is one in which vapour from one effect isused as heating medium for another effect boiling at a lower pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">BASICS OF EVAPORATORS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Vacuum Pan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">This type of evaporator is employed in the majority of condenseries for the manufacture of condensed milk. Batch operating type evaporator is preferred when relatively small quantities of milk are to be handled in a batch operation for product like sweetened condensed milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The pansare internally fitted with steam coils and the lower portion is steam jacketed.The operation is usuallycarried out at 54-63\u00b0C, the milk boils at this temperature owing to reducedpressure (63.5 cm of mercury) which is maintained in the pan. A vacuumpump is used to maintain the vacuum in the pan. When the water vapour, which rises fromboiling milk inside the pan, comes in contact with cold metal surface orcold spray of water in the condenser, it is condensed and carried off aswater by means of pumps or other means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Falling Film Evaporators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">This type of evaporator consists of verticaltube bundles heated by condensing steam on the outside. Theliquid to be evaporated is fed to the top of the tube and allowed to flowdownwards on the inside of the tubes. The liquid will flow downwards forming a thin film, from which the boiling\/evaporation will take place because of the heat applied by the steam.The resulting vapourand concentrated liquid flow into a separator at the foot of the evaporator.The vapour is drawn off from the top of the separator and liquid from thebottom by a pump.This type of evaporator is desirable from a product point of view, as it offers a short holding time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">As vapour, from the evaporated milk contains almost all the applied energy, it is obvious to utilize this to evaporate more water by condensing the vapour. This is done by adding another calandria to the evaporator. This new calandria &#8211; the second effect &#8211; where the boiling temperature is lower, now works as condenser for the vapours from the first effect, and the energy in the vapour is thus utilized as it condenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Multiple effects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">In the first evaporation unit, steam is introduced and part of the water is evaporated from the milk. The steam condenses, and vapour is separated from the concentrated milk. The vapour is used to evaporate water from the concentrated milk in the second effect, etc. The flows of milk and vapour are co-current. The number of effects varies from 3 to 7. Thus greateconomies of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">operation may be made in large installations with multiple- effect evaporator. The vapour coming from the last effect is condensed in a special condenser; the temperature of the water in the condenser determines the boiling temperature in the last effect. The boiling temperatures in the other effects are determined by the pressure drop of the vapour when being transported to the next effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">SEPARATORS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">As the vapours generated from the evaporation are used as heating media in the &#8220;next&#8221; calandria, any product must be separated, since it would otherwise contaminate the condensate and further represent a loss. The majority of the concentrate is discharged from the bottom of the calandria below the tube bundle. The separation is done in a separator with tangential vapour inlet, connected to the calandria below the tube. To reduce space requirements a new development has taken place with the design of the Wrap-Around Separator. It is integrated into the base of the calandria. It has the same high efficiency as the classical separator with a low pressure drop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Sweetened condensed milks are milk products which can be obtained by the partial removal of water from milk with the addition of sugar, or by any other process which leads to a product of the same composition and characteristics. It may sometimes contain added refined lactose, calcium chloride, citric acid and sodium citrate, sodium salts of orthophosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid not exceeding 0.3 per cent by weight of the finished product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Manufacture of sweetened condensed milk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Sweetened condensed milk is milk that is concentrated by evaporation, to which sucrose is added to form an almost saturated sugar solution, after which it is packed. The high sugar concentration is primarily responsible for the keeping quality of the product and for its fairly long shelf life, even after the can has been opened, although it then will eventually become moldy.Different steps involved in the manufacture of Sweetened Condensed Milk are given in the Figure 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Receiving Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Raw milk received for the manufacture of condensed milkshould be of good quality.

Pathogens and potential spoilage organisms must be killed. Among the enzymes, milk lipase should primarily be inactivated; because if present, it can cause severe rancidity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The heating intensity considerably affects viscosity and also age thickening and gelation of the product, so the actual heat treatment must be adjusted to these properties. Forewarming also helps in dissolving the sugar which is added during thenext stage of operation. Further, evaporation takes place more rapidly if heated milk is fed into vacuum pan or evaporator during concentration.The temperature-time of forewarming extends over a wide range, such as 82-93\u00b0C for 5-15 minutes; or 116-149\u00b0C for 0.5 to 5 minutes. The modern trendis towards high temperature short time heating such as 115-118\u00b0C withoutholding. Tubular heat exchangers are commonly used for fore warming orpreheating; either a double-tube or shelf-and-tube heat exchangers are preferred.Plate heat exchangers may also be used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Addition of Sugar<\/em><\/strong><em>:<\/em>Sugar is added to the milk for the purpose of preserving the condensed milk without resorting to sterilization by heat. This can simply be added to the original milk. The amount added can be adjusted readily, and the sugar is pasteurized along with the milk. However, this procedure causes fairly extensive Maillard reactions during heating and evaporation, and above all, a faster age thickening. Alternatively, a concentrated sugar solution, which should be sufficiently heat-treated to kill any osmophilic yeasts, is added at the end of the evaporation step.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Amount of Sugar \/ Sugar Ratio: <\/em><\/strong>The quantity of sugar added to milk should be enough to preserve the milk.

The low water content of the sweetened condensed milk implies a high viscosity and boiling point. Evaporation in continuously operating equipment with many effects is, therefore, not easy. Fouling, thus, readily occurs. It is difficult to accurately adjust the desired water content, which is mostly monitored by means of refractive index.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Striking the Batch:<\/em><\/strong>The term refers to the end of concentration operation in thevacuum pan as determined by specific gravity or density tests. The precise point atwhich the batch should be \u201cstruck\u201d depends largely upon the experience of vacuumpan operators. Samples are taken at regular intervals by means of the samplingcocks. Baume\u2019 hydrometer or a viscometerisused to determine the progress of concentration. Baume\u2019Hydrometer test is mostcommonly used for density tests of vacuum pan samples.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hydrometer scale may record the density either directly or indirectly. Forcondensed milk the Baume\u2019Hydrometer ranges from 30-37\u00b0 Be\u2019 at 49\u00b0C (120\u00b0F).When the desired concentration as indicated by the Baume\u2019 reading (32\u00b0Be\u2019) isreached, the batch of milk is ready for removal from\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">the pan. This operation iscalled striking the batch. The steam is shut-off, the vacuum broken and the milk runoff to cooling tank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Final Standardization:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The fat, SNF, and the added sugar are already present in their desired ratio to each other. The third and final standardization, therefore, has to do only with the adjustment of the % of total solids, if such adjustment is necessary or desired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Cooling of Sweetened Condensed Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Cooling of condensed milk is essential to control the texture of condensed milk. It is absolutely essential to cool the product promptly to desired temperature because in these steps, formation of large lactose crystals must be avoided. As the condensed milk is cooled, lactose which is less soluble than sugar crystallizes out and if the lactose crystals are small enough these crystals will not be detected but if they are too large they will impart sandy texture to condensed milk.To avoid this defect it is necessary to create conditions favorable for maximum crystallization of lactose. Consequently, seed lactose is added. Before that, the condensed milk must be cooled to a temperature at which lactose is supersaturated so that the seed lactose does not dissolve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Crystallization:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The purpose of this is to produce mass crystallizationof lactose. It is the period in the cooling process when sweetened condensed milkreaches a temperature, which is most favorable for rapid crystallization of lactose.The relative smoothness of product depends upon number and size of crystals present. Our main aim is not to prevent the formation of crystals but our main aim is to form more crystals having smaller size. For sweetened condensed milk of average composition the temperature of maximum rapidity of crystallization is around 30\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Seeding:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Crystallization of lactose is usually assisted by the addition of fine powder of lactose or small quantity of condensed milk from previous batch in which the lactose crystals are in minute form. Lactose should be of smallest possible size preferably 200 mesh (&lt;10 \u00b5) having sharp crystal edges. To avoid contamination of product, the lactose used for seeding should be sterilized under vacuum at 93\u00b0C which will convert lactose hydrate to anhydrate. Then it is ground to fine particles in a perfect pulverized mill, filling in the can and sealing it. Then sealed can is sterilized at 130\u00b0C for 1-2 hours.Other alternative is to use spray dried skim milk powder as seed material. Seeding refers to the introduction of lactose in a very finepowder form during cooling process to provide nucleic for crystallization. Thepurpose is to give lactose, present in the super saturated state, an added incentive tocrystallize. Seeding at an optimum temperature for mass crystallization with properlyprepared lactose and with vigorous agitation yields large\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">number of small crystals of uniform size. The recommended amount of finally pulverized lactose for seedingpurpose is 375-500 gm per 1000 kg of initial milk taken or 0.1 to 0.3 percent ofcondensed milk. The usual seeding temperature is 27 \u2013 39\u00b0C for cow\u2019s milk and for buffalo milk it ranges from 30 \u2013 36\u00b0C. After crystallization is over, lower down the temperature to room temperature. This cooling is done by several methods. After cooling, it is again stirred for 20 minutes because, due to lower temperature, solubility decreases and there is possibility of crystallization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Packaging Sweetened Condensed Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Packaging in cans is common. The cans are then covered with a lid and the seams are sealed. Cans and lids are first sterilized. The packaging room is supplied with air purified through bacterial filters. Sweetened condensed milk reaches the market in the form of bulk good and also in different size retail packs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">EVAPORATED MILK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Evaporated milk is sterilized, concentrated, homogenized milk. The product can be kept without refrigeration and has a long shelf life; it is completely safe for the user. In this product no sugar is added as preservative. To achieve preservation the product is sterilized by heat after concentration and sold in the hermetically sealed container in which it has been sterilize. A major problem with sterilization is the heat stability; the higher the concentration of the milk, the lower its stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Manufacture of evaporated milk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Various steps involved in the manufacture of evaporated milk are depicted in Figure 2. <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Receiving milk\/filtration\/clarification:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The raw milk used in the preparation of evaporated milk is treated in a similar manner to that which applies in case of sweetened condensed milk as discussed earlier. Variation of the quality of the milk has a direct effect on heat stability of evaporated milk and thus indirectly also influences the viscosity of the finished product. <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Standardization of Fat to SNF desired:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The milk that has passed inspection is then dumped into the weigh tanks and after sampling and recording weights; it is dropped into supply tank from which it is pumped over or through a cooler into holding tanks. There, it is tested for fat and TS and standardized to the ratio of Fat to SNF desired in the evaporated milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Forewarming of Milk for Evaporated Milk:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Preheatingserves to enhance the heat stability of the evaporated milk, inactivate enzymes, and kill microorganisms, including a significant proportion of the bacterial spores present.

Formerly, a long heat treatment (e.g., 20 min) at a temperature below 100\u00b0C was often applied. Currently, UHT treatment is generally preferred. It reduces the number of spores in the milk considerably, and therefore a less intensive sterilization suffices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Condensing of Evaporated Milk:<\/em><\/strong>The forewarmed milk is condensed to desired concentration in the vacuum pan or evaporator in a similar manner as done in the case of SCM.

When evaporated milk approaches the desired concentration, its consistency resembles that of rich milk or thin cream, its fluidity, therefore, ensures ready equilibrium of the hydrometer. The Baume\u2019 hydrometer, with a scale of range from 0 to 15\u00b0Be\u2019 subdivided into 1\/10 degrees is commonly used for testing the pan sample. Establishment of standard striking temperature helps to avoid misleading results. A convenient temperature is the pan temperature which near the finish of the batch usually ranges from approximately 48.9 \u2013 54.4\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Homogenization:<\/em><\/strong>Homogenizationserves to prevent creaming and coalescence during storage.

Stabilizing salts may be added to concentrated milk in tank as indicated by pilot sterilization test. To ensure that the evaporated, homogenized milk does not coagulate during sterilization and at the same time does acquire a desirable viscosity, a series of sterilization tests is often done on small quantities of the evaporated milk to which varying amounts of a stabilizing salt (e.g. Na2HPO4) are added. The tests are needed because variation occurs among batches of milk. Essentially, the addition of the salt means adjusting the pH. Because further processing must be\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">postponed until the test results are available, this necessitates cooling the evaporated milk after its homogenization and storing it for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Pilot Sterilization Test:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">The purpose is to determine the amount and type of chemical stabilizers to be added to any given batch of condensed milk for most satisfactory heat stability. Heat coagulation of milk is influenced by many factors such as initial quality of raw milk, forewarming, concentration and sterilization. In raw milk it has been suggested that salt balance of milk i.e. ratio of calcium + Magnesium to citrate + Phosphate is important for the stability of milk towards heat. If the ratio is disturbed the heat stability may be affected. Depending on the location of pH of maximum stability with respect to natural pH of concentrated milk either sodium salt of orthophosphate (disodium phosphate) or calcium chloride\/monosodium phosphate are used as stabilizers. This is the basis of a process of pilot-sterilization in which various quantities of selected stabilizers are added to the concentrated milk in 170 ml (60 oz) tins which are then sterilized and the condition of the product carefully examined in order to determine whether any stabilizer is necessary and if so in what amount it should be used. Depending upon the type of milk and the processing condition used 100 to 300 gm of stabilizing salts per 100 kg of evaporated milk may be needed to improve the heat stability. Calculated amount of salt is added to the evaporated milk in the form of a solution using just enough water to dissolve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Canning:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Packagingin cans is common. Evaporated milk intended for use in coffee is usually packaged in bottles that are closed with a crown cork or a screw cap. Can should meet all the sanitary standards and its metal should be non-toxic to the product or should not impart any flavour in it. The evaporated milk container must withstand the pressure changes in the process of sterilization. Its seal must be absolutely air- tight and it must be strong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Sterilization of Evaporated Milk Cans:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">In-bottle or in-can sterilization can be applied batch wise (in an autoclave) at 115\u00b0C for 15 \u2013 20 min or continuously by UHT processing (135\u00b0C\/1-3 sec). <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"><em>Storage:<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">After sterilization cans of evaporated milk are unloaded from the sterilizer, and cooled by water spray.
