Patients can start using 2 tablespoons and increase to 4 after a few days. Dried milk powders (own label, Marvel etc.) is recommended rather than ones with added vegetable fats.

This milk can then be used to make coffee, other milk based drinks, porridge and milk puddings etc. If 1 pint is used per day, then this goes a long way towards calorie requirements.

The objective of this study was to better understand the influence of these pre-processing steps and their cumulative effects on MF performances (i.e., transmembrane pressure, and transmission and recovery of serum proteins (SP) in the permeate). Results showed that heat treatment of skimmed milk decreased ceramic MF performances, especially after a long 4 ◦C storage duration (96 h) of raw milk: when milk was heat treated by pasteurization after 96 h of storage at 4 ◦C, the transmembrane pressure increased by 25% over a MF run of 330 min with a permeation flux of 75 L h 1 m 2 and a volume reduction ratio of 3.0.

  • The Physical and Chemical Stability of S'oybean Oil Filled Milk
    THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL STABILITY OF S'OYBEAN OIL FILLED MILK Thesis for the Degree of 'M. S. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY H. WAYNE MODLER 1969 "“ —~ ‘ A“ '. IJ . _, , L I "hi-a: ,s x LI BR A i»: i" I Michigan 3m 3 University g no“; am‘ome & suns .y ‘5‘ d max mum mo. LIIRIIV B'NDERS i “1ch 1 ABSTRACT Filled milks were formulated from fresh skimmilk, vegetable oil and emulsifiers. The filled milks were pasteurized at 170 F (except in cer- tain off-flavor studies), homogenized at 500/2500 psi and cooled to 36 F. Lightly hydrogenated salad oil, prepared from soybean oil, was quite acceptable when evaluated organoleptically at 24 hr. intervals over a period of approximately one week. Thiobarbituric acid and peroxide val- ues revealed that very slight oxidation had occured during storage for approximately one week at 40 F. Four monoglyceride emulsifiers, with varying degrees of saturation, were used to stabilize the emulsion of soybean oil in skimmilk. Two of the more unsaturated monoglycerides tended to impart a bitter flavor to the milk when used at 0.1% (based on weight of product) and also were less efficient emulsifiers when com- pared to saturated monoglycerides. Development of a very undesirable sulfide-like odor and taste was revealed when extremely high pasteuri- zation temperatures were used. The degree of off-flavor was directly proportional to the time and temperature of heating. Two types of imitation milk, differing only in the type of protein, were prepared and evaluated. One series of imitation milks contained varying levels of calcium caseinate.
