PRESSED TABLETS OF SOLID MILK AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A23C9/18 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the food industry. Method for production of compressed tablets of solid milk includes pressing of dry milk with production of pressed blocks of solid milk with mechanical strength from 10 kPa to 300 kPa. Note here that pressing is performed at compaction coefficient of 0.30–0.65 and at pressing pressure of 1–40 MPa. Then pressed blocks of solid milk are moistened by exposure to the above blocks in humidifying chamber with moist air having relative humidity over 95 % and temperature from 60 °C to 90 °C. At that, moist air contains condensed water drops. Exposure time for solid milk blocks in the humidification chamber is less than 5 seconds. Then moist and pressed blocks of solid milk are dried to produce compressed tablets of solid milk. Also disclosed are embodiments of a pressed milk powder tablet and a modular system for carrying out said method or preparing said embodiments of a pressed milk powder tablet.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at producing compressed tablets of solid milk with high mechanical strength and minimum brittleness, having excellent recovery values, providing a liquid nutrient composition without lumps.
