Denaturation Kinetics of Whey Protein Isolate Solutions and Fouling Mass Distribution in a Plate Heat Exchanger

Figure 9

Fouling resistance evolution with time measured along the PHE. Various symbols refer to various fouling runs with varying thermal profiles and various calcium content for the 1% w/w WPI solutions (closed symbols: 100 ppm calcium; open symbols: 120 ppm calcium) ( corresponds to the thermal profile number given in Figure 4 and Table 2).
