HR-US Technology for Analysis of Heat Stability of Milks

High-Resolution Ultrasonic Spectroscopy (HR-US) is for the analysis of heat stability of milk samples. Heat stability is usually defined as the time needed to cause visible coagulation of milk at a given temperature. Analysis of this complex process is useful for the dairy, food and beverage industries, as well as laboratories and academia. Through the use of HR-US, coagulation can be detected during the real time monitoring of milk subjected to high temperatures, high precision measurements can be carried-out, and the monitoring of structural transitions in the sample is made possible. HR-US also enables the continuous monitoring of changes in the composition and structure of the sample while it is submitted to a high temperature. It uses the two parameters of velocity and the attenuation of ultrasonic waves to access new information about both chemical dynamics and sample structure. HR-US provides high-resolution measurements and is a non-destructive versatile technique that does not require any optical activity or transparency of the samples. In addition, it requires a small sample volume, typically 1 mL, and allows the analysis of various sample types, chemical reactions and processes. This includes the measurement of concentrations of components, transition temperatures, temperature intervals, and kinetics of sedimentation and creaming, as well as the analysis of particle size in suspensions and emulsions.
