hello every body
we use permeate (DM around 5.5%: ash :0.5%, lactose :5%, protein:0-0.2%) and water to produce carbonated beverage.
but a few days after packaging, some particles and sedimentation is appeared at the bottle.
whats your idea?how we can prevent of this case?
thank you
Try to treat the beverage with ultrasonic waves. Or use a a suitable stabilizer
The particles may aggregate in the solution and gravity induces sedimentation. Your system seems to be unstable colloid.
You can try to decrease the particle size of your solids, increase the ionic concentration, change the pH or use stabilizers such as emulsifiers

Check the sterilization of the permeate. Glucose and protein are good breeding grounds for microorganisms. Sterilization methods vary depending on product requirements.
