THERMAL-PROPERTIES OF SOME DAIRY-PRODUCTS

Only a few thermal properties of dairy products have been published probably for two reasons. Dairy products have been produced for hundreds of years by processes which developed from the accumulation of practice, all without knowledge of the thermal properties. Also, with the advent of more sophisticated machines, the machine designer, faced with a need for thermal data, secured as adequate data as was needed, as quickly as possible, and then filed that data away as proprietary information and did not publish it. Only recently have a few researchers worked in this area and published their results. © 1979, American Dairy Science Association. All rights reserved.
