Using precoated whey protein concentrate gel films as a model milk protein fouling material, the removal kinetics from the inner surface of a stainless steel tube were determined continuously and noninvasively by a rapid UV spectrophotometric method. The influences of temperature, flow velocity, and the amount of fouling on the cleaning behavior were evaluated. For the first time, a cleaning model combining polymer dissolution and boundary layer mass transfer has been used to describe the cleaning process. It is suggested that the disengagement of protein molecules from the swollen gel-solution interface and the transfer of these disengaged protein molecules into the bulk cleaning solution are the rate-limiting steps in the range of conditions examined. The experimental results agree with the predictions of the cleaning model. The application of the current cleaning model to milk protein and whey protein fouling systems reported by various researchers is also discussed. (C) 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Cleaning rate in the uniform cleaning stage for whey protein gel deposits
XİN, H; Chen, XD; Özkan, Necati (2002-12-01)
The removal of a thermally induced whey protein concentrate (WPC) gel layer from the inner surface of a stainless steel tube was determined continuously and non-invasively by a rapid UV spectrophotometric method. Based on mass transfer theory and polymer dissolution concepts, the constant cleaning rates in the uniform stage were predicted. The viscosity and solubility of WPC gels at different temperatures were measured and used in the modelling prediction. The deviation of the prediction from the experiment...
Water Solubility Mechanical Barrier and Thermal Properties of Cross linked Whey Protein Isolate based Films
Zeynep, Üstünol; Mert, Behiç (2004-04-01)
Water solubility, thermal properties, tensile strength, percent elongation, oxygen permeability (OP), and water-vapor permeability (WVP) of cross-linked glycerol plasticized whey protein isolate films were studied to determine the effect of cross-linkers (glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, dialdehyde starch, carbonyldiimidazole, and UV irradiation) on film properties. With the exception of UV treatment, solubility of the films decreased (P < 0.05) upon treatment of the film-forming solutions with chemical cross-...
Whey protein-based gel as a model material for studying initial cleaning mechanisms of milk fouling
XİN, H; Chen, XD; Özkan, Necati (2002-09-01)
The dissolution kinetics and mechanical properties of whey protein concentrate (WPC) gels were Investigated as part of a general study on cleaning mechanisms of milk fouling. The dissolution results showed that the WPC gel is a suitable model material to simulate milk fouling and the dissolution process is a major factor controlling the cleaning process. The hardness, elastic modulus, and fracture load of the WPC gels decreased significantly when they were treated with alkaline solution, indicating that cer...
Physico-Chemical Changes of Composite Whey Protein Hydrogels in Simulated Gastric Fluid Conditions
Özel, Barış; GRUNIN, Leonid; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2018-09-12)
Polysaccharide blended whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrogels were developed for the delivery of black carrot (Daucus carota) concentrate as bioactive agent in simulated gastric fluid (SGF). Pectin (PC), gum tragacanth (GT), and xanthan gum (XG) were blended as additional polymers to modulate the release characteristics of the WPI hydrogels. Experiments showed that sole whey protein (C), XG, and GT blended hydrogels possessed restricted release profiles 67%, 61%, and 67%, respectively, whereas PC samples atta...
Preparation and investigation of hybrid self-healing coatings containing linseed oil loaded nanocapsules, potassium ethyl xanthate and benzotriazole on copper surface
Mahmoudian, Mehdi; Nozad, Ehsan; Ghasemıkouchameshgı, Mahmoud; Enayati, Mojtaba (2018-07-01)
The effectiveness of self-healing epoxy and polyurethane hybrid coatings filled with linseed oil (LO) containing nano-sized capsules, potassium ethyl xanthate and benzotriazole was investigated for self-healing and anticorrosion performance on the copper metal films. The characteristics of synthesized nanocapsules were studied by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) for chemical structure, thermal stability an...
