Description
Study and observe the concentration crystallization process on syrups, juices and milk.
- Batch evaporation/crystallization under reduced pressure
- Boiling and concentration of food preparations.
- Study different types of stirrers:
- Three-blade propeller
- Turbine
- Anchor
Proposed experiments:
- Concentration of dairy products:
• Observe concentration
• Observe foaming - Concentrate then crystallize sugar solution.
- Study the influence of different stirrer blades on final product quality.
- Clean the unit.
