A pasteurizer is a machine used to heat liquids to a specific temperature to kill bacteria and extend shelf life.

• Used in food and beverage industry

• Commonly used for milk, juice, and beer

• Can be batch or continuous process

• Temperature and time are critical factors

• Helps to preserve nutrients and flavor

Pasteurizer efficiency can be calculated by measuring the temperature and time of the pasteurization process.

• Measure the temperature of the product before and after pasteurization

• Measure the time it takes for the product to pass through the pasteurizer

• Calculate the heat input and output of the pasteurizer

• Use the formula: Efficiency = (Heat Output / Heat Input) x 100%

• Example: If the heat input is 1000 kJ and the heat ou...read more

The principle of fat determination involves extracting fat from a sample and measuring its weight or volume.

• Fat is extracted using solvents or physical separation methods.

• The extracted fat is then weighed or measured to determine its quantity.

• Different methods may be used depending on the type of sample being analyzed.

• Common methods include Soxhlet extraction, acid hydrolysis, and gravimetric analysis.

• The principle is ...read more
