Последовательное сочетание различных методов обезвоживания является одним из традиционных направлений при организации эффективного производства концентрированных, сгущенных и сухих молочных продуктов. Этот подход призван обеспечить заданные качества конечного продукта при минимальных энергозатратах технологии. Расчеты подобных многоэтапных процессов в силу высокой сложности постоянно являются предметом исследований. Оценка влияния стадийности обезвоживания при выработке концентрированных, сгущенных и сухих молочных продуктов на энергоемкость процесса является целью данной работы. Объектами исследования были жидкие, концентрированные и сухие молочные продукты, а также параметры процессов их обезвоживания. Ведение процесса сушки в две стадии позволяет получить экономию энергии до 10-15 %. Предварительная обработка исходного продукта мембранными методами (ультрафильтрация, нанофильтрация, обратный осмос) также дает возможность получать определенный эффект в энергозатратах. Применительно к распылительной сушке молочных продуктов широкое применение находит процесс, включающий предварительную концентрацию исходного продукта тем или иным мембранным методом, сгущение продукта методом вакуум-выпаривания, распылительную сушку горячим воздухом до влажности, на 2-4 % превышающую требуемую, окончательную досушку продукта в «псевдокипящем» слое до требуемой влажности и, наконец, охлаждение продукта также в «псевдокипящем» слое. На основании условий материального и энергетического баланса получено выражение для оценки удельных затрат в процессе многостадийного обезвоживания, позволяющее проводить сравнительную оценку затрат на производство сухих молочных продуктов, определять целесообразность их создания или реконструкции, исходя из планируемых объемов переработки и финансовых возможностей. Целевыми функциями, описывающими процесс обезвоживания, следует рассматривать функции, описывающие изменение влажности продукта, удельные затраты энергии на обработку продукта и качество конечного продукта. A consistent combination of different methods of dehydration is one of the promising directions in the organization of the production of concentrated, condensed and dry dairy products. This ensures the desired quality of the final product at the lowest possible energy consumption. Calculations of such multi-stage processes, due to their high complexity, are constantly the subject of ongoing research. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of the stages of dehydration in the production of concentrated, condensed and dry dairy products on the energy intensity of the process. The objects of the study were liquid, concentrated and dry dairy products, as well as the parameters of their dehydration processes. Conducting the drying process in two stages allows you to get energy savings of up to 10-15 %. Pretreatment of the initial product by membran methods (ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis) also makes it possible to obtain a certain gain in energy consumption. In relation to the spray drying of dairy products, a process is widely used, including the preliminary concentration of the initial product by one or another membrane method, the thickening of the product by vacuum evaporation, spray drying with hot air to a humidity 2-4 % higher than the required, the final drying of the product in the «pseudo-boiling» layer to the required humidity and, finally, the cooling of the product also in the «pseudo-boiling» layer. Based on the conditions of the material and energy balances, an expression is obtained for estimating the unit costs in the process of multi-stage dewatering, which allows for a comparative assessment of the costs of producing dry dairy products, determining the feasibility of its creation or reconstruction, based on the planned processing volumes and financial capabilities. The target functions describing the dewatering process should be considered functions describing the change in product moisture, the specific energy consumption for processing the product, and the quality of the final product.

Abstract Yoghurt is one of the dairy products most consumed worldwide but dehydrated yoghurt is still uncommon. Considered a nutritious food, yoghurt powder could be used as an ingredient or supplement in juices, cookies, ice cream and dairy beverages. Spray drying and freeze drying are the methods most widely used to dehydrate dairy products, and the process conditions are directly associated with the production costs and value of the final product. Due to osmotic and thermal stress during dehydration, it is often necessary to incorporate agents such as carriers, thermal protectants, cryo-protectants and stabilizers in order to improve the process yield, preserve nutrients and even facilitate rehydration of the product. Thus the present review presents the technologies available to obtain yoghurt powder, including the processes, drying agents, drying rates, rehydration conditions and survival of the lactic acid bacteria.

Spray drying could be a suitable method for preserving microorganisms, as it allows large quantities of cultures to be dried at low cost. The aims of this paper were to evaluate the effects of spray-drying conditions on survival of the biocontrol agent Pantoea agglomerans CPA-2, which has shown antifungal activity against Penicillium expansum and Penicillium digitatum on citrus fruits. Various compounds cited in the bibliography as carriers were tested in our spray drying, and some salts (MgSO4, K2SO4, and Na2CO3) and dairy products (lactoserum or nonfat skimmed milk [NFSM]) showed the best results in terms of recovered powder. Outlet temperature had more influence on the death of bacteria than inlet temperature. P. agglomerans was heat sensitive, and the activation energy was around 6 kcal/mol K when MgSO4 (10%) or NFSM (10%) were used as carriers and only 3 kcal/mol K when the combination of MgSO4 (10%) and NFSM (10%) was used. The highest powder recovery was obtained when NFSM was used as the rehydration medium. Although the percentage of powder recovery was not high (around 50%) and viability was low, the results suggest that with bigger spray dryers, we could expect a lower outlet temperature and probably an increased viability. Further research into spray-dryer design is needed in order to demonstrate this.

The epidemic of both obesity and type 2 diabetes is due to environmental factors, but the individuals developing the conditions possess a strong genetic predisposition. Observational surveys and intervention studies have shown that excess body fatness is the major environmental cause of type 2 diabetes, and that even a minor weight loss can prevent its development in high-risk subjects. Maintenance of a healthy body weight in susceptible individuals requires 45–60 minutes physical activity daily, a fat-reduced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grain, and lean meat and dairy products, and moderate consumption of calorie containing beverages. The use of table values to predict the glycemic index of meals is of little – if any – value, and the role of a low-glycemic index diet for body weight control is controversial. The replacement of starchy carbohydrates with protein from lean meat and lean dairy products enhances satiety, and facilitate weight control. It is possible that dairy calcium also promotes weight loss, although the mechanism of action remains unclear. A weight loss of 5–10% can be induced in almost all obese patients providing treatment is offered by a professional team consisting of a physician and dieticians or nurses trained to focus on weight loss and maintenance. Whereas increasing daily physical activity and regular exercise does not significantly effect the rate of weight loss in the induction phase, it plays an important role in the weight maintenance phase due to an impact on daily energy expenditure and also to a direct enhancement of insulin sensitivity.
