Abstract
Data are presented to characterize further the phenomenon of age-thinning of evaporated milk. The loss of viscosity is inversely related to the logarithm of storage time, and the slope of the curve for age-thinning is directly related to storage temp. A method is presented for utilization of the above relationships in the calculation of the avg. viscosity during the early stage of quiescent storage. In addition, a method is desc. whereby it is possible to dissipate quickly the temporary viscosity formed during sterilization.
