In addition, if adopt the open communique spy of above-mentioned Japanese patent of invention to open in 2005-304390 number disclosed device to the skimmed milk processing that outgases, to temperature is that skimmed milk below 20 ℃ pressurizes, making it to be atomized into average grain diameter is the following particulates of the above 1000 μ m of 50 μ m, and be exposed to be about-0.098MPa (gauge pressure)~-environment under low pressure of 0.09MPa (gauge pressure) in, thus, the about 8ppm of the dissolved oxygen concentration that can make skimmed milk before the deoxidation treatment is reduced to below the 5ppm, can preferably be reduced to below the 3ppm.At this moment, also can skimmed milk be adjusted to required dissolved oxygen concentration by suitably controlling the pressure of average grain diameter or environment under low pressure.
First sterilization process
First sterilization process is meant, skimmed milk is carried out the sterilization process of pasteurization, among the present invention, carries out that high temperature (HTST) is handled or ultra high temperature sterilization (UHT) is handled.HTST handles to be roughly with the temperature more than 72 ℃ and skimmed milk was heated more than 15 seconds and carries out the processing of sterilization, and UHT handles to be roughly with the temperature more than 110 ℃ and skimmed milk was heated more than 1 second and carries out the processing of sterilization.
As the temperature that HTST handles, be preferably more than 80 ℃ below 100 ℃, more preferably more than 90 ℃ below 95 ℃.In addition, as the time that HTST handles, it is above below 15 minutes to be preferably for 15 seconds, and more preferably 15 seconds are above below 5 minutes.If treatment temperature is lower,, need carry out the processing of longer time in order to obtain enough bactericidal effects.On the contrary, if treatment temperature raises, just can obtain enough bactericidal effects in the shorter time, still, if carry out sterilization processing with higher temperature, then the hardness or the smooth sense of the final acidified milk that obtains can be damaged.Consider these conditions, the temperature that HTST is handled is more than 90 ℃ below 95 ℃, and the time that HTST is handled is below above 20 seconds in 15 seconds.
On the other hand,, be preferably more than 120 ℃ below 140 ℃, more preferably more than 120 ℃ below 130 ℃ as the temperature that UHT handles.In addition, as the time that UHT handles, it is above below 5 minutes to be preferably for 1 second, more preferably 1 second above below 2 minutes, more preferably more than 1 second below 1 minute.
In sterilization processing is under the UHT situation about handling, and also considers hardness, the smooth sense of bactericidal effect and the final acidified milk that obtains, and the temperature that UHT is handled is more than 125 ℃ below 130 ℃, and the processing time that UHT is handled is below above 15 seconds in 1 second.
Above-mentioned high temperature is handled and the ultra high temperature sterilization processing suitably adopts known device to get final product.In addition, also can after first sterilization process, suitably cool off.That is to say, also can after sterilization process, carry out refrigerating work procedure.Refrigerating work procedure is meant, is used for the operation that will be cooled in the heated yoghurt mixture of pasteurization operation near fermentation temperature.Cooling means employing used known method in the refrigerating work procedure of acidified milk gets final product, and for example, can pass through the heated yoghurt mixture of cools down.
The moisture removal operation
The moisture removal operation is meant dewatered operation from skimmed milk, can adopt that vacuum evaporation concentrates, spray-drying and the such known technology of freeze-drying.
Vacuum evaporation simmer down to heating liquid under vacuum condition makes the method for concentration of water evaporates, and the principle of its utilization is: under vacuum condition, the boiling point of liquid reduces, thereby liquid is evaporated under the lower state of liquid temperature.When skimmed milk is implemented the vacuum evaporation concentration, but can adopt the so known vacuum evaporation enrichment facility of regulated at will evaporation of liquid temperature by regulating operating pressure.
Common skimmed milk contains and is about 88% moisture, concentrates by vacuum evaporation, can be with moisture removal to 50~70%.Yet, only concentrate by vacuum evaporation, be difficult to moisture removal to 5% followingly and obtain skimmed milk powder, therefore,, preferably adopt vacuum evaporation to concentrate making degreasing when concentrating breast.In addition, can adopt vacuum evaporation to concentrate the pre-treatment of making skimmed milk powder as being used for removing moisture fully.For example, (solid component concentration: 45 weight %), the evaporating temperature that vacuum evaporation is concentrated is 60~65 ℃, heats to get final product in 2~5 minutes in order to obtain the concentrated breast of degreasing.
Spray-drying is called atomization drying (spray dry) again, be that a kind of moment obtains the method for the dry thing of powdery by liquid once all is sprayed in the thermal current, as making liquid form vaporific method, there is centrifugal motion by rotating circular disk to make the method for the atomization of liquid and makes the method for the atomization of liquid by the pressurization of drive nozzle.When skimmed milk is implemented spray drying treatment, can use the known spray-drying installation that has adopted these atomization methods.
By skimmed milk is carried out spray-drying, can directly make skimmed milk powder,, implement above-mentioned vacuum evaporation and concentrate as spray-dired pre-treatment, thus, with its moisture removal to 50~70%, after this, make below the moisture removal to 5% in advance by spray-drying, preferably be removed to below 2%, it is Powdered that it is become, and makes skimmed milk powder thus, and this method efficient is higher.Spray-dired temperature for example can be 160~170 ℃, concentrates pre-treatment if implement vacuum evaporation as described above, and the spray-drying of then carrying out about 2~6 seconds just can obtain the skimmed milk powder that moisture is almost completely removed.
Freeze-drying is called freeze drying (freeze dry) again, is a kind ofly material is freezed temporarily and moisture is distilled under environment under low pressure and to obtain the method for dry thing.When moisture is evaporated under environment under low pressure, need heating, as the heating-up temperature of freeze-drying, for example can be 40 ℃, under this situation, the time of freeze-drying can be about two days.When skimmed milk is carried out freeze-drying, can adopt known freeze-drying apparatus.
As mentioned above,, make moisture removal to 50~70%, just can obtain degreasing and concentrate breast if skimmed milk is implemented the vacuum evaporation concentration.In addition, if after skimmed milk is implemented the vacuum evaporation concentration, implement spray drying treatment, make moisture removal to 5% following and the pulverize powder just can obtain skimmed milk powder.Perhaps, if directly skimmed milk is carried out spray-drying or freeze-drying, make moisture removal to 5% following and the pulverize powder also can obtain skimmed milk powder.
The yoghurt mixture modulating process
Among the present invention, adopt skimmed milk (remove the material behind the moisture, degreasing concentrates breast or skimmed milk powder) modulation yoghurt mixture at least.Adopt as the concentrated breast of degreasing or skimmed milk powder are modulated the reduction skimmed milk of 10 weight %, and can this as yoghurt mixture.In addition, also can in skimmed milk powder, add cow's milk or ion exchange water modulation yoghurt mixture.Under this situation, among the present invention, the skimmed milk of removing behind the moisture is more than the 70 weight % with respect to the total solid composition of yoghurt mixture or the proportion optimization of non-fat solid composition.In this stage, but also inoculating starter.
As " leavening ", can suitably adopt known leavening.Preferred leavening can be a lactic acid bacteria fermenting agent.As lactic acid bacteria fermenting agent, can adopt lactobacillus bulgaricus (L.bulgaricus), streptococcus thermophilus (S.thermophilus), lactobacillus lactis (L.lactis), Lactobacillus gasseri (L.gasseri), Bifidobacterium (Bifidobacterium), be generally used for making the lactic acid bacteria of acidified milk and in the yeast one or more.In the middle of these bacterial classifications, preferred leavening is with the mixed culture fermentation agent of lactobacillus bulgaricus (L.bulgaricus) and streptococcus thermophilus (S.thermophilus) leavening as matrix (ベ one ス), and these two kinds of bacterium are as the yogurt leavening and standardized bacterial classification according to food standard.With this yogurt leavening is matrix, can be according to expecting that the acidified milk that obtains add Lactobacillus gasseri (L.gasseri), Bifidobacterium (Bifidobacterium) is waited other lactic acid bacterias.The inoculum concentration of leavening suitably adopts amount used in the known acidified milk manufacture method etc. to get final product.The known method that the inoculation method of leavening uses when making acidified milk gets final product.
Fermentation procedure
Fermentation procedure is the operation that makes the yoghurt mixture fermentation.Fermentation procedure can for two sections the fermentation etc.By fermentation procedure, can obtain to have the acidified milk of commodity value.In addition, also can before fermentation procedure, implement deoxidation step and sterilization process to yoghurt mixture.In addition, also can comprise operation outside refrigerating work procedure and the refrigerating work procedure.
Consider the local flavor of the acidified milk that the kinds of lactobacillus that is inoculated in the yoghurt mixture, expectation obtain etc., can suitably adjust fermentation conditions such as fermentation temperature.Particularly, can allow temperature (fermentation temperature) in the fermenting cellar remain on more than 30 ℃ below 50 ℃.Under this temperature, lactic acid bacteria has stronger activity usually, thereby can promote the yoghurt mixture fermentation effectively.The fermentation temperature of this moment is more preferably more than 40 ℃ below 45 ℃, more preferably more than 41 ℃ below 44 ℃.Under this temperature,, has big meaning aspect the effect of the mouthfeel of improving acidified milk and hardness (hardness) by before ultra high temperature sterilization is handled, reducing the oxygen concentration of skimmed milk.That is, under this temperature, the acidified milk that obtains with not implementing above-mentioned processing is compared, and can obtain better acidified milk.If adopt existing skimmed milk, that is, before ultra high temperature sterilization is handled, do not reduce the oxygen concentration of skimmed milk and only carried out the skimmed milk that ultra high temperature sterilization is handled, then the acidified milk of Huo Deing does not have the required regulation hardness of practicality.On the contrary, if adopt the skimmed milk that has reduced oxygen concentration before ultra high temperature sterilization is handled, then the acidified milk of Huo Deing has practical required regulation hardness.
Fermentation time can suitably be adjusted according to leavening, fermentation temperature etc.Particularly, fermentation time can be more than 1 hour below 5 hours, also can be more than 2 hours below 4 hours.
For example, under the situation of after fermentation, the mixture of yoghurt mixture and leavening is filled in the container.Then, this container is put into the fermenting cellar with set point of temperature, and keep the stipulated time, make the yoghurt mixture fermentation.Thus, can obtain acidified milk.
