Influence of Pasteurization and Cool-Aging on the Behavior of Pure Salt Solutions Prepared in Accordance with the Composition and Concentrations in Milk

A pure salt solution was prepared to sinmlate the composition of salts in milk serum, in order to study the mineral balance in milk. The salts were distributed into soluble and colloidal phases and a sediment was separated from the solution by centrifugation. Storage resulted in formations that resembled "lime grains." Analysis showed that 35.9, 72.9, 5i.8, and 80.9% of Ca, Mg, P, and citric acid, respectively, were soluble. The Ca :P ratio in the sediment was 1.46, indicating predominance of triealeimn phosphate.
