Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is used as the indicator enzyme for proper pasteurization of bovine milk. Predictive modeling of AP inactivation during high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization would support regulations; thus ensuring the safety of heat treated milk. Activation energy (Ea) of AP in milk was measured experimentally using the capillary tube method, and Ea was found to be 429252 J/mol. The Ea was used to develop a nonlinear model to describe the thermal inactivation of milk in a small-scale HTST pasteurizer with a plate heat exchanger. Integrated pasteurization effect (PE) was obtained at different holding temperatures (62–72°C) and holding times (3–25 s), by converting times at different temperatures in various sections of the pasteurizer to the equivalent time at the reference temperature (72°C). A nonlinear function was developed to relate the log(% residual AP activity) to PE. The r2 varied from 0.7488 to 0.8311. The validation trial indicated that the model could predict AP activity accurately for the% residual AP activity >1%.

Heat resistance experiments were carried out with Listeria monocytogenes which had been grown at three different temperatures (30, 39, and 43°C). Heated whole milk was inoculated with L. monocytogenes and then passed through a high-temperature short-time system at 72, 69, 66, and 63°C for a minimum holding time of 16.2 s. Heated cells were recovered both aerobically and anaerobically using four different methods: direct plating, most probable number, cold enrichment, and warm enrichment. Significant differences in recovery of L. monocytogenes were observed depending on the growth temperature. Cells grown at 43, 39, or 30°C, held 1 d at 4°C, and then heated at 69°C showed an overall decrease in numbers of approximately 2.1, 2.8, and 4.1 logs, respectively. Cells grown at 39°C and then held 3 d at 4°C appeared to be the most heat sensitive. Although cells grown at 43 and 39°C were capable of surviving at the minimum high-temperature short-time temperature (72°C), those grown at 30°C were not. In some instances, anaerobic incubation enhanced the recovery of L. monocytogenes, as compared to cells recovered aerobically, although these differences were not statistically significant. While L. monocytogenes can survive minimum pasteurization treatment (71.7°C/16 s) under certain conditions, common methods of handling, processing, and storing fluid milk will provide an adequate margin of safety.

High-temperature, short-time (HTST) processed milk, cream and buttermilk were mixed with small portions (0 to 0.6%) of the raw milk product to obtain desired levels of residual alkaline phosphatase. Samples were subjected to the differential test to discern reactivation and analyzed for phosphatase activity by the rapid colorimetric test. The experimental data were fitted to a linear statistical model to determine the minimum detectable residual phosphatase (Eo) in the product. These observed values and the computed expected values were highly correlated, with a rank correlation coefficient of 0.956, which was significant at a = 0.05 level. The values of [Eo] varied depending upon the extent of phosphatase reactivation in the HTST product when the residual phosphatase was zero. As the differential values of reactivation (reactivated [E] of the control sample minus the reactivated [E] of diluted sample containing magnesium) increased, the [Eo] increased also. In general, the [Eo] in cream was greater than that in milk. A method is proposed for predicting [Eo] in liquid HTST products.

SummaryDuring chill storage, cholesterol oxidation in feta cheese produced from bovine butteroil bleached at high temperature was compared with cholesterol oxidation in feta cheese produced from non-bleached butteroil. The bleaching was performed at two different temperatures, 265 and 280 °C, and the oil was bleached for 2·4, 3·8 or 4·3 min; a reference feta cheese was produced without bleaching. All cheeses were stored in brine at 4 °C, and cholesterol oxidation was measured during a storage period of 5 months. For the first 11 weeks of storage, the concentration of cholesterol oxides was comparable for the bleached feta cheeses, but on longer storage the concentration of oxysterols was highest in feta cheeses produced from the butteroil bleached at 280 °C. The bleaching temperature rather than the bleaching time affected cholesterol oxidation, which was minimal in the non-bleached reference cheese throughout the storage period compared with the bleached feta cheeses. 7-Ketocholesterol was found to be the dominant oxysterol in the feta cheeses at the end of the storage, comprising ∼ 50% of the total cholesterol oxides. In feta cheeses based on butteroil bleached at 265 °C, the concentration of 7-ketocholesterol ranged from 3·7 to 4·9 µg/g lipid at the end of the storage period, and in feta cheese based on butteroil bleached at 280 °C the concentration was 10·4–13·1 µg/g lipid. In the reference feta cheese the concentration of 7-ketocholesterol was 1·2 /µg/g lipid. There was no difference in yellowness, measured by tristimulus colorimetry as the Hunter b characteristic, of the feta cheeses bleached at 265 and 280 °C, and a small scale bleaching experiment with butteroil showed that it was possible to secure complete bleaching at temperatures down to 220 °C. We suggest that bleaching of butteroil for feta production should be performed at temperatures as low as possible in order to prevent cholesterol oxidation.

ABSTRACT The milk supply is considered a primary route for a bioterrorism attack with Bacillus anthracis spores because typical high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization conditions cannot inactivate spores. In the event of intentional contamination, an effective method to inactivate the spores in milk under HTST processing conditions is needed. This study was undertaken to identify combinations and concentrations of biocides that can inactivate B. anthracis spores at temperatures in the HTST range in less than 1 min. Hydrogen peroxide (HP), sodium hypochlorite (SH), and peroxyacetic acid (PA) were evaluated for their efficacy in inactivating spores of strains 7702, ANR-1, and 9131 in milk at 72, 80, and 85°C using a sealed capillary tube technique. Strains ANR-1 and 9131 were more resistant to all of the biocide treatments than strain 7702. Addition of 1,260 ppm SH to milk reduced the number of viable spores of each strain by 6 log CFU/ml in less than 90 and 60 s at 72 and 80°C, respectively. After neutralization, 1,260 ppm SH reduced the time necessary to inactivate 6 log CFU/ml (TTI6-log) at 80°C to less than 20 s. Treatment of milk with 7,000 ppm HP resulted in a similar level of inactivation in 60 s. Combined treatment with 1,260 ppm SH and 1,800 ppm HP inactivated spores of all strains in less than 20 s at 80°C. Mixing 15 ppm PA with milk containing 1,260 ppm SH resulted in TTI6-log of 25 and 12 s at 72 and 80°C, respectively. TTI6-log of less than 20 s were also achieved at 80°C by using two combinations of biocides: 250 ppm SH, 700 ppm HP, and 150 ppm PA; and 420 ppm SH (pH 7), 1,100 ppm HP, and 15 ppm PA. These results indicated that different combinations of biocides could consistently result in 6-log reductions in the number of B. anthracis spores in less than 1 min at temperatures in the HTST range. This information could be useful for developing more effective thermal treatment strategies which could be used in HTST milk plants to process contaminated milk for disposal and decontamination, as well as for potential protective measures.
