The effect of continuous-flow microwave treatment at high temperatures on the retention of vitamins B1 and B6 in raw milk with different fat content was evaluated. Results were compared with those obtained using a conventional system (tubular heat exchanger) with the same heating and cooling phases. Heat treatment of whole (3.4% fat) and skim (0.5% fat) milk at 90°C produced no losses of vitamin B1 or vitamin B6 (pyridoxamine and pyridoxal). However, at 110 and 120°C, while vitamin B1 content of milk remained constant, pyridoxamine increased (4 to 5% and 9 to 11%, respectively) and pyridoxal decreased (5 to 6% and 9 to 12%, respectively). Under the assayed conditions, no differences were observed between the content of these vitamins in conventionally and continuous-flow microwave-treated milk.

The effect of continuous-flow microwave treatment of milk was estimated by using indicators of the heat treatment intensity (β-lactoglobulin denaturation, inactivation of alkaline phosphatase and lactoperoxidase). Results were compared with those obtained using a conventional process having the same heating, holding, and cooling phases. Continuous microwave treatment proved to be an effective system for pasteurizing milk, with the inclusion of a holding phase to maintain the time and temperature conditions required. At high pasteurization temperatures, the extent of thermal denaturation observed with the microwave treatment was lower than that obtained with the conventional system. This result could be attributed to a better heat distribution and the lack of hot surfaces contacting the milk in the case of the microwave unit.
