This invention describes a continuous method for making cheese, moving away from traditional batch processes. It involves carefully adjusting the temperature of milk, then making it acidic, and finally adding a specific enzyme to quickly form uniform cheese curds. These curds are then separated from the liquid whey and further processed into various types of cheese. The claims specifically detail the use of different milk types, including reconstituted milk from powders.
Why it matters: Since 2007, advancements in industrial automation, sensor technology, and real-time process control systems have made precise, continuous food manufacturing significantly more achievable and efficient. This could simplify the implementation and optimization of the claimed in-line temperature, pH, and enzyme adjustments.
