Notizen:
A multivariate skimmilk extrusion process, designed to produce an acid coprecipitate was studied in terms of minimizing residual lactose, ash and fines. an experimental model system was utilized to simulate the extrusion process and evaluated using response surface methodology to assess the relationship between the responses (fines, residual lactose and minerals) and the process variables (concentration, pH, temperature, agitation, washing time and wash water ratio). Compromise optimum conditions were derived using the Generalized Distance Approach (GDA) and an Extended Response Surface Procedure (ERSP) which made use of the SAS RSREG procedure with and without constraints. the GDA procedure produced good results in terms of providing an optimum for a general acid casein process, while the ERSP allowed more extensive analysis of the data in terms of assessing specific processing conditions. Although more computing intensive, the ERSP conferred additional flexibility in determining optimal conditions for special situations such as extrusion processing. Both approaches are useful for process engineering, with the GDA being a more general tool while the ERSP is advantageous when the GDA procedure becomes limiting.
