Pasteurization Of Goat Milk Using A Low Cost Solar Concentrator

摘要

This paper presents the design of a system for pasteurizing goat milk as a part of a process for artisan elaboration of cheese. The system consists in a Fresnel type concentrator used for cooking large amounts of food with a vaporizer located in the focus. The steam bubbles into the isolated container where the milk is cooked by a double boiler. When the desired temperature is reached, the steam flow is closed and the milk remains in this condition for 30 min into the closed container. Pasteurizing of 101 of milk is done in about 1 h. The project considers guidelines for achieving a successful process.
