Comparison of sensory, microbiological, and biochemical parameters of microwave versus indirect UHT fluid skim milk during storage

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 88(12), 4172–4182.

By: D. Clare n, W. Bang n, G. Cartwright n, M. Drake n, P. Coronel n & J. Simunovic n

author keywords: ultra-high temperature; microwave; sulfhydryl oxidase; sensory
MeSH headings : Animals; Color; Dithionitrobenzoic Acid / analysis; Fats / analysis; Food Handling / methods; Food Preservation; Hot Temperature; Microwaves; Milk / chemistry; Milk / microbiology; Oxidoreductases / metabolism; Sensation; Sulfhydryl Compounds / analysis; Taste; Time Factors; Viscosity
TL;DR: It is suggested that microwave technology may provide a useful alternative processing method for delivery of aseptic milk products that retain a long shelf life by comparing sensory, microbiological, and biochemical parameters with conventionally prepared, indirect UHT milks.
