This study was carried out to compare the changes of nutrients, sensory and chemical properties of freeze-concentrated and evaporated milks during storage. For pasteurization, the freeze-concentrated milk containing 27% of total solid was treated with 150 rpm ozone for 5 min, and 99% of microflora was eliminated. Also, the activities of protease and lipase decreased 93.31% and 96.15%, respectively, and phosphatase showed negative activity. Total bacteria count was maintained below$2.0{\times}10^4$CFU/ml. During storage, TBA absorbance was lower in freeze-concentrated milk than that in the evaporated milk. The production of short-chain free fatty acids and free amino acids increased proportionally to the storage period in both samples. While the short-chain free fatty acid production was lower in the freeze-concentrated milk compared with that in the evaporated milk, the production of individual free amino acid was similar in both samples. In sensory evaluation, cooked flavor and color were much lower in the freeze-concentrated milk than that in the evaporated milk. Overall acceptability score was higher in the freeze-concentrated than the evaporated milk. Based on above results, ozone treatment for the freeze-concentrated milk pasteurization was positive at the elimination of microflora and enzyme inactivation. During storage, the freeze-concentrated sample minimized the change of color and TBA absorbance, the production of short-chain free fatty acid and vitamins than the evaporated milk. Therefore, the freeze-concentrated milk process in the present study resulted in the positive effect in minimizing nutrient loss and keeping quality of milk during storage.

This study was designed to compare various quality characteristics, such as nutrient composition and physicochemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk made by a newly developed continuous multi-stage process with those of evaporated milk. The freeze concentration process reduced the water content up to 73%. Most of the physicochemical properties of evaporated milk were different from raw milk; however the freeze-concentrated milk showed little difference from the raw milk. The thiobarbituric acid value and free fatty acid concentrations were significantly greater in the evaporated milk than in the freeze-concentrated milk. Several effects on sensory characteristics, such as off-taste, were significantly stronger in the evaporated milk. Overall, this study indicates that the newly developed freeze concentration technique results in improved physicochemical and sensory properties, and has little effect on most nutrient levels when compared with the evaporation process. Further research is necessary to further elucidate the chemical and sensory properties of freeze-concentrated milk.

Freeze concentration of milk was carried out through the controlled recrystallization of ice in a multi-stage freeze concentrator. Rheological characteristics of ice slurries were analyzed to determine efficient concentration levels for the freeze concentration process. It was determined that efficient concentration level was 17% of total solids in the first and 27% in the second stage. Physicochemical properties were compared between freeze concentrated and evaporated milk. Freeze concentrated milk was more similar in color appearance to control milk than was evaporated milk. pH significantly decreased in evaporated milk than in freeze concentrated milk. pH of freeze concentrated milk resulted in similar value to control. These results indicated the advantages of freeze concentration as a non-thermal milk processing technology in terms of physicochemical properties. Consequently, we investigated the influence of ice recrystallization on the rheological characteristics of ice slurries and physicochemical properties of freeze concentrated milk.

Physicochemical properties were compared between freeze concentrated and vacuum evaporated milk through colour, brix, viscosity, freezing point and pH measurement. Brix and viscosity in each concentrated milk significantly increased due to solute concentration(p<0.05), and there was not much difference between freeze concentrated and evaporative one. Brix results were numerically modeled with the logarithmic regression: Y=-33.460+18.4513 ${\cdot}$ ln(X), $R^2=0.9798$ and this model was fairly fit to predict the solute concentration in the middle of freeze concentration process. Freezing point significantly decreased according to concentration increment(p<0.05) and there was not the significant difference between freeze concentrated and evaporated one. Whereas, in colour and pH value, there were some differences between freeze concentrated and evaporative milk. Vacuum evaporated milk expressed higher discoloration comparing to freeze concentrated one. In pH values, evaporated milk showed the significantly decreased results comparing to freeze concentrated sample, whereas the pH value of freeze concentrated sample expressed the similar value to the reference milk.

This study was to investigate principle of freeze concentration such as nucleation, crystal growth and procedure of freeze concentration, essential factor and application of freeze concentration. Especially, quality of milk was emphasized. For exemple, in sensory evaluation of freeze concentrated and reconstituted skim milk and whole milk, taste, color, mouth feel and texture were superior to control. Recently developed technique of freeze concentration for quality milk and dairy products may be expected for advanced quality of various milk and dairy products in near future.

농축우유에 냉동보호물질을 첨가하여 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 비동결 상태로 저장할 수 있는 방법을 개발하여, $-15^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 저장중 품질변화를 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 농축우유를 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 비동결 상태로 저장하는데 적합한 복합냉동보호물질은 설탕 17.74%, glucose, 8.87% fructose 8.87%, glycerol 2%, HMP 0.25%, NaCl 0.25%, ascorbic acid 0.02%로 구성되었으며, 고형분 38%인 농축우유에 냉동보호물질 38%를 첨가하는 것이 적당하였다. 저장중의 품질변화중 관능적 품질과 이용성에 가장 심각한 영향을 주는 것은 단백질 변성에 의한 gel화현상 이었다. Gel화현상은 대조구에서 3주저장 후부터 발생하였으나 냉동보호물질을 첨가한 처리구에서는 전 저장기간동안 발생하지 않았다. 우유 단백질의 저장중 변성현상을 뒷받침하는 단백질 침전량을 조사한 결과 control에서 3주 후부터 현저하게 나타났으며, 처리구에서는 저장기간동안 나타나지 않아TEk. 저장중 농축우유의 색깔변화나 과산화물가의 변화는 경미했으며, 대조구과 처리구간에 유의성있는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 농축우유에 냉동보호물질을 첨가하여 냉동저장온도에서 비동결상태로 저장하면 통상적인 냉동저장방법과 같은 품질보존 효과를 얻을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 보통 냉동저장시에 발생하는 우유단백질의 변성에서 오는 gel화현상을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있어 저장 후 제품의 품질과 이용성을 증진 시킬 수 있었다.
