Background
The dairy product has rich nutrition and easy digestion and absorption, and is always the preferred nutritional food for the public. With the improvement of living standard, domestic consumers have higher requirements on taste and quality of dairy products, and compared with more than 13.5% of milk solids in partial national regions, the content of the milk solids in China is about 12%. The solid content of the raw milk in different seasons in different regions has larger difference, and the proper concentration of the milk is necessary for producing milk products such as high-quality milk or yoghourt and the like and ensuring the consistency of product quality indexes. Common milk processing and concentrating methods mainly comprise flash evaporation, single-effect evaporation, reverse osmosis concentration and the like.
Flash evaporation, a dehydration process, a process in which milk boils at low temperatures to evaporate a portion of the water. This method has some disadvantages: firstly, the cost factor is high, and the flash evaporation energy consumption is high; secondly, nutrition factors, namely, the active substances in part of milk are seriously damaged due to the fact that the heating intensity is too strong during flash evaporation; thirdly, efficiency factor, only 10% of water can be removed at most by flash evaporation, which still does not meet the production requirements when producing high milk solid milk products. The single-effect evaporation not only needs to consume a large amount of heat, but also can destroy part of the nutrient components in the milk by heating.
Reverse osmosis can be performed at lower temperatures, but the use of reverse osmosis in dairy processes has the following drawbacks: firstly, the fixed investment is overlarge, the area of the reverse osmosis membrane required for meeting the requirement of milk processing is large, and the service life of the membrane is short; secondly, the energy consumption is too high, and the milk must be heated in order to improve the reverse osmosis speed; thirdly, the efficiency is slow, the membrane needs to be cleaned frequently, and the continuous operation time is short; fourthly, the equipment maintenance requirement is high.

The treatment method carries out forward osmosis concentration on the raw milk by using the drawing liquid, does not need heating or condensation, and therefore does not damage the original components of the milk. Meanwhile, the equipment is simple, and forward osmosis is a membrane separation process which spontaneously realizes water transfer by taking osmotic pressure difference on two sides of the osmotic membrane as a driving force, so the energy consumption is low, and the investment cost is low.

Before the dilute liquid is drawn and returned to the forward osmosis membrane component 20, the dilute liquid is drawn and subjected to reverse osmosis concentration treatment to obtain high-concentration concentrated draw liquid, then the concentrated draw liquid is conveyed to the forward osmosis membrane component 20 to perform forward osmosis treatment on the raw milk, and the high-concentration concentrated draw liquid ensures the longer-time operation of a concentrated milk circulation loop, so that the concentration effect of the milk is further improved.

Wherein the treatment temperature in the forward osmosis treatment and the reverse osmosis treatment is the temperature. The treatment process can be carried out at room temperature, so that the energy consumption is reduced, and the cost is saved. In particular, forward osmosis treatment is carried out at normal temperature, so that the original components of the milk are not damaged, and the nutritional ingredients and the taste of the concentrated milk are ensured.

Table 2 examples 1-9 test parameters and milk solids results
Figure BDA0003181629130000092
From the above experimental results, 30 professional sensory panel panelists gave 96.2, 95.3, 97.8 and 94.3 scores for color, flavor, taste and crocking of the concentrated milk obtained by the forward osmosis treatment, and the scores for color, flavor, taste and crocking of the concentrated milk obtained by the reverse osmosis treatment were 91.7, 90.3, 92.7 and 89.5, respectively. Therefore, the concentrated milk obtained by adopting the forward osmosis treatment has obviously better sensory evaluation than the concentrated milk obtained by adopting the reverse osmosis treatment. From table 2, it can be seen that a higher concentration of concentrated milk can be obtained using the forward osmosis-reverse osmosis combined milk concentration apparatus and treatment method.
It should be noted that the various features described in the above embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is not described in detail in order to avoid unnecessary repetition.
