MG++ CHEMISTRY AND METHOD FOR FOULING INHIBITION IN HEAT PROCESSING OF LIQUID FOODS AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for removing or preventing scale formation in a liquid food processing operation. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for increasing the solubility of insoluble calcium salts in an acidic environment. Aqueous antiscalant solutions comprising soluble magnesium salts are used to prevent the precipitation of insoluble calcium salts and/or to increase the solubility of insoluble calcium salts.
