Fermented low salt and low fat dairy foods, such as cheese and yoghurt, with great taste – this is possible with the rational design of improved, tailor-made industrial cultures with attractive flavour forming properties. Various tools and model systems for directed screening for flavour producing (starter) organisms are now available…

Ultra High Temperature (UHT)-type products are ambient stable products, with a long shelf life (three to six months). Since they do not require any cold chain storage and can be consumed immediately, they are consumed extensively everywhere on the globe. They are defined as commercially sterile meaning that the product…

Health regulators seek to reduce dietary fat intake and sodium intake by stipulating that cheeses should be made with lower fat and lower salt contents. However, both fat and salt contribute to cheese flavour, and fat especially impacts cheese appearance, texture and melting. Cheese is adversely affected by fat and…

Open any magazine aimed at the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and there are regular references to Process Analytical Technology (PAT). There has been a significant focus on this area ever since publication of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report in 20041 encouraging the pharmaceutical industry to adopt PAT. Touted…

The commercial adoption of milk pasteurisation was a major boon for urban public health in the first half of the 20th century. Before the widespread use of pasteurisation, the proliferation of diseases such as bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis among humans was frequently linked with consumption of unpasteurised (raw) milk15. Pasteurisation…
Milk is a highly perishable food so to enable it to be stored and distributed for consumption without spoilage, and without being a health risk through growth of pathogenic bacteria, it is heat treated. The most common type of heat treatment in many parts of the world is pasteurisation, which…

The food industry, and within it the dairy industry, is experiencing a noticeable change. Novel processing technologies and sustainability are trendy terms. Also, the following concepts are under the same trend: efficient use of raw materials (increased yield), less waste generation, reduction of product losses during manufacturing and overall food…

Improving creaminess in food products, whilst simultaneously decreasing fat, remains a challenge for food manufacturers worldwide. Yoghurts are inherently perceived as healthy food products and can be made even healthier by reducing fat. However, reducing fat in yoghurt without compromising desirable textural characteristics like creaminess is difficult to achieve. One…

Pasteurisation is a relatively mild heat treatment designed to inactivate vegetative pathogenic microorganisms in milk. Pasteurisation, coupled with refrigerated storage of pasteurised product, makes milk safe for human consumption and also extends the shelf-life of the product. Pasteurised milk is not sterile, with refrigerated storage inhibiting / retarding the growth…

In order to obtain safe dairy products with a long shelf-life, heating processes have been designed to ensure the necessary inactivation of the indigenous microbial flora. One of the methods is the ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing of milk which has become widespread since the implementation of aseptic packaging processes1. Nowadays,…

In literature, there are many publications related to the microbial inactivation by PEF in LWE. However, there is not yet an answer to the question: is it possible to pasteurise liquid whole egg with pulsed electric fields? This could be due to the difficulties in comparing results since different treatment…
