Monitoring Viscosity and Total Solids Content of Milk Protein Concentrate Using an Inline Acoustic Flowmeter at Laboratory Scale.

ABSTRACT: Control of milk concentrate viscosity and total solids (TS) content prior to spray drying can improve dairy ingredient manufacture. However, the availability of hygienic and appropriately pressure rated process viscometers for inline monitoring of viscosity is limited. An acoustic flowmeter (FLOWave) is an inline process analytical technology (PAT) tool that measures changes in acoustic signals in response to changes in liquid properties (i.e., acoustic transmission (AT), acoustic impedance (AI), temperature and volume flowrate). In this study, an acoustic flowmeter is evaluated as an inline PAT tool for monitoring viscosity of milk protein concentrate (MPC85), protein and TS content of (MPC85), and standardised MPC (sMPC). Laboratory scale experiments were carried out at 45 °C for five di
