A system and method for heat treating a homogenized fluid product, the method comprising the steps of feeding a stream (A) of fluid product ingredients through a local constriction of flow (240, 335, 440) to effectuate high shear mixing of the fluid product ingredients in a high shear mixing zone (245, 340, 435) downstream from the local constriction of flow (240, 335, 440) and thereby form a homogenized fluid product (B) at a first temperature and introducing a sufficient amount of the homogenized fluid product (C) at a second temperature, which is less than the first temperature, into the high shear mixing zone (245, 340, 435) to effectuate mixing of the homogenized fluid product (B) at the first temperature with the homogenized fluid product (C) at the second temperature to thereby heat treat the homogenized fluid product. |
