Phenomenological model of thermoacid coagulation of skim milk proteins

Abstract
Being based on experimental data concerning thermoacid coagulation of skim milk a model is offered considering influence of milk acidity, micelle size distribution and whey protein denaturation degree dependent on temperature and thermal process duration. The model uses phenomenological approach to describe interactions between the casein micelles being covered with the denaturated whey proteins as a result of thermal process. The comparision of experimental data with the results of modeling allowed to check the model adequacy and to reveal values and weaknesses of the used phenomenological approach.
