Normally the milk reaches the treatment plant in tankers, tanks or tanks. These
tanks are made of stainless steel, aluminum or in some cases even plastic. The
capacity of them is also very variable it is usual that at the arrival of the milk to
the plant, samples are taken to carry out the corresponding analyzes of quality
and determination of the fat and protein content of the milk. Sometimes the price
of milk varies according to its composition.
After receipt, the milk is usually stored under refrigerated conditions until it enters
the line. In this way, the preservation of milk until its treatment is guaranteed. This
measure is of special importance when for milk supply reasons the milk must
remain stored before being treated.
Then the organic and inorganic particles of dirt that may be contained in the milk
after milking or due to transport are removed. It also eliminates the agglomerates

techniques, on-farm treatment and transport. In any case, a process of
purification in the industry is inevitable.
The purpose of the thermal treatment is the almost complete destruction of the
microorganisms that are contained in the milk. An additional effect is the
inactivation to a greater or lesser extent of the dairy enzymes.
OBJECTIVES
GENERAL PURPOSE
• Create a mathematical model for the control of the milk pasteurization process,
which is manufactured in INDULAC S.A.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
• Collect information on the pasteurization process.
• Know the parameters of pasteurization
• Establish material and energy balances.
• Make a flow chart of the milk production process in INDULAC S.A
INDULAC
There are three fundamental methods for the decrease of microorganisms in milk:
Pasteurization, Sterilization and UHT (Ultra High Temperature or Ultra
pasteurization or Uperisation)
PASTEURIZED MILK
Milk is subjected to a process of temperature increase to 63ºC for 30 minutes
(this would be the LTLT - Low Temperature Long Time - Low Temperature High
time, almost unused except in traditional cheese factories), or for 15 minutes at
a temperature of 71,7ºC (HTLT - High Temperature Long Time - High
Temperature High Time) being this the most used and most suitable method of
pasteurization (eliminating molds, yeasts and most of the vegetative forms of
bacteria). After this process the temperature is lowered to 6 ºC, being its
maximum period of use of a week, being better known by all as "fresh milk".
STERILIZED MILK
It is produced by increasing the temperature to 110 ° C, for a period of 20 minutes
once the milk is hermetically packed, the fundamental problem of this method lies
in the loss of organoleptic characteristics of the milk since the treatment is quite
severe, destroying some vitamins, denaturing proteins, caramelizing milk sugars
(lactose), etc. It is a system used to a lesser extent than pasteurization and
ultrapasteurization (UHT)
UHT MILK
It is, as in the two previous cases, the treatment by increasing the temperature,
this time between 135 ° C and 150 ° C for 1 second (minimum legal requirement)
up to 4 seconds normally, then the temperature is lowered and packed in aseptic
conditions. Practically no changes are made in the composition of the milk,
although slight changes in the flavor can be noticed (leaving a special flavor due
to the caramelization of part of the sugars in the milk). This milk has a high
expiration date and is also known as "milk de brick" or "leche de caja".
PASTEURIZATION
Pasteurization is a procedure developed by Luis Pasteur in 1864 that aims to
remove pathogens from food without losing their qualities. This scientist noticed
that by exposing the food for a certain time at high temperatures, the agents
disappeared and the characteristics of the same did not change.
Pasteurization is done by transferring heat to the product to be treated up to a
certain temperature. This temperature depends on the product since some of its
qualities are more prone to the growth of unwanted pathogens. Once this
temperature is obtained, the product is maintained in this state for a short time.
This time is also punctual for each product. In order to store a properly
pasteurized product, it is necessary that the temperature of the product be
lowered, eliminating remaining pathogens.
Graph of the area where the microorganisms disappear. Temperature vs. Time.
Unlike sterilization, this process does not attempt to eliminate all microorganisms
from the product. It aims to reduce the number of pathogens so that they can not
cause any disease, assuming that this product is properly stored and will not be
consumed beyond the expiration date. Food sterilization in industry is not
common because this process takes away natural attributes such as taste or
texture.
CURRENT METHODS
The way in which the pasteurization process is carried out has been reformed in
order to make it faster and more reliable. You must have
How premise that the product can not be exposed for a long time at high
temperatures because it is proven that the product loses attributes such as
vitamins, texture or taste.
The most important factors for the development of new pasteurization techniques
are consumption and legislation. According to the country, legislation on aspects
such as fat content or pH change. The consumption of the population changes
according to the aspects of the society that is going to be explored. Aspects how
electric power, climate or money determine that new procedures should be
studied to generate an advance in the matter.
HTST PASTEURIZATION
One type of pasteurization is the HTST (High temperature short time) process.
This pasteurization requires that the product be exposed to temperatures of 70 -
75 ° C for times of 15 to 30 seconds depending on its type. The standards for this
milk pasteurization were created in the United States in 1933 and define that the
temperature should be 71.7 ° C to 15 seconds for the most efficient reduction of
bacteria.
HTST pasteurization gets its name because the product that is treated once
reaches the temperature necessary for the elimination of pathogens, lasts a short
time at that temperature, and then receives a thermal shock that lowers its
temperature again. The short duration of the product at high temperatures, is
sustained in a network of tubes that according to its length, takes a fixed time
where the product is maintained in that state. During the maintenance of the
product at high temperatures the elimination of microorganisms that affect human
health takes place. Once the elimination of unwanted microorganisms has been
completed, the thermal shock ensures that the product does not grow bacterial
residues during the storage thereof.
The plants that develop this pasteurization process transfer the heat to the treated
product by means of a heat exchanger. This device, which will be explained later,
uses a means that can be a heater or coolant to raise or lower the temperature
of the product to be treated. According to the arrangement of said device, the
product can reach the same temperature as the medium, giving a high efficiency
in the process.
UHT PROCESSING
RESISTANT ORGANISMS
• Some organisms and bacteria in food are resistant to pasteurization.
• Its resistance depends largely on the pH, the water activity, the chemical
composition and its ease or probability of being contaminated.
• Cow's milk pasteurized by the HTST method and properly refrigerated, has an
extended shelf life that can reach two or three weeks, while ultra-pasteurized milk
can have an extended life ranging between two and three months.
PASTEURIZATION PROCESS
To destroy the microorganisms of the milk it is necessary to subject them to
thermal treatments, since it was seen that the temperature can cause undesirable
transformations in the milk, which provoke alterations of flavor, yield, and quality
mainly.
The process of pasteurization was ideal in order to diminish the entire flora of
saprophytic microorganisms and all the pathogenic microbial agents, but altering
as little as possible the physical and chemical structure of the milk and the
substances with biological activity such as enzymes and vitamins
The temperature and time applied in the pasteurization ensure the destruction of
pathogenic agents such as Mycobacterium, tuberculosis, Brucellos, Solmonellas,
etc., but it does not destroy the mastitic microorganisms such as Staphilococus
aereus or Streptococuspyogenes, nor does it destroy some micro organisms
responsible for acidity such as Lacotobacillus.
Different combinations of temperature and time for pasteurization have been
studied, but basically they have been reduced to two:
1. Slow or discontinuous pasteurization.
2. Fast or continuous pasteurization.
3. Slow pasteurization
SLOW PASTEURIZATION
This method consists of heating the milk to temperatures between 62 and 64ºC
and keeping it at this temperature for 30 minutes.
The milk is heated in containers or tanks of variable capacity (usually from 200 to
1500 liters); These tanks are preferably made of stainless steel and are jacketed
(double wall); the milk is heated by means of steam or hot water that links
between the walls of the tank, provided with a stirrer to make the treatment more
homogeneous.
• Washing: The construction, materials and design of the tank should facilitate
the cleaning and disinfection of the tank (without rivets or joints), the manual or
automatic washing system.
• Temperature and thermostatic regulation: The milk cooling tank must have a
milk temperature display system and must have an individual and exclusive tank
calibration chart.

NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS
The nutritional aspects of milk have been valued since the beginning of humanity.
With the advancement of science and its application, it has been increasingly
raising its value and in the last two centuries, has been able to go on specifying,
recognizing and discovering greater utilities of milk. Therefore, the degree of
importance of milk in human nutrition, in particular for its protein and calcium
content is widely recognized.
Milk has the basic function of satisfying nutritional requirements. And it obtains it
due to its balanced mixture of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, salts and other minor
elements dispersed in water. Nutritionally it shows a wide range of nutrients and
a deep nutritional contribution in relation to the calorie content; There is a good
balance between the major components: fat, proteins and carbohydrates.
