    Abstract: Disclosed is process for producing milk and milk-related products with extended shelf life. The process comprises the steps of separating whole milk is a cream fraction and a skimmed milk fraction, wherein the skimmed milk fraction has a fat content of 0.5% by weight or less, subjecting the skimmed milk fraction to a heat treatment, said heat treatment comprising heating the skimmed milk fraction to 152° C. to 165° C. for 500 ms or less, and cooling of the skimmed milk fraction to a temperature at or below 70° C. The produced milk and milk-related products maintains a high degree of undenatured whey protein despite the high treatment temperature.

    Abstract: A plant for heat treating heat-sensitive fluid foodstuffs including an infusion chamber, in which the fluid foodstuff is subjected to a heat treatment by a feeding of steam, a fluid foodstuff inlet connected to a plurality of openings at the top of the infusion chamber for creating a plurality of essentially downwardly directed separate fluid foodstuff jets. The infusion chamber has a bottom section configured to collect the fluid foodstuff from the jets. The bottom section has an outlet opening at the bottom of the infusion chamber for allowing the collected fluid foodstuff to exit the infusion chamber. The outlet opening is connected to the inlet of a pump. A cooling jacket surrounds the bottom section for cooling the wall of the bottom section, and an optical camera is mounted on the infusion chamber with an angle of view covering at least a portion of the bottom section.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a centrifugal pump for pumping a heat-sensitive fluid foodstuff, comprising a volute casing having an inlet port and an outlet port for the heat sensitive fluid, the volute casing enclosing an impeller comprising a disc operably associated with an end of a shaft, said disc having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, said first surface facing the inlet of the casing and being provided with vanes, wherein the second surface of the disc of the impeller is exposed to a cooling medium. The centrifugal pump is suitable for reducing the built-up of fouling on the surface of the impeller disc facing the inlet of the casing and being provided with vanes.

The infusion chamber has a bottom section configured to collect the fluid foodstuff from the jets. The bottom section has an outlet opening at the bottom of the infusion chamber for allowing the collected fluid foodstuff to exit the infusion chamber. The outlet opening is seamlessly connected to the inlet of a pump. A cooling jacket surrounds the bottom section for cooling the bottom section. The cooling jacket extends all the way down to the pump.
