J. Yoon et Db. Lund, MAGNETIC TREATMENT OF MILK AND SURFACE-TREATMENT OF PLATE HEAT-EXCHANGERS - EFFECTS ON MILK FOULING, Journal of food science, 59(5), 1994, pp. 964
After milk property effect was eliminated, relative fouling rates of e
lectropolished stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, titanium, polysil
oxane and Teflon were 0.99, 1.00, 1.01, 1.14, and 1.20, respectively.
No significant reduction of cleaning time was found on the Teflon-coat
ed plate although Teflon had significantly larger contact angles in bo
th surface-water-air and surface-water-octane than did stainless steel
. Magnetic field treatment of milk and calcium phosphatase solution di
d not significantly affect fouling rates or type of calcium phosphate
crystals in deposits.
