Practically all of the rapid-process machines are provided with
especially constructed cooling devices. In some of them, as in the
Miller and Farrington, the cooling is effected by passing the milk
through two separate coolers that are constructed in the same general
way as the heater. With the first cooler, cold running water is
employed, the temperature often being lowered in this way to 58 deg. or
60 deg. F. Further lessening of the temperature is secured by an
additional ice water or brine cooler which brings the temperature down
to 40 deg.-50 deg. F.
In the economical use of ice the ice itself should be applied as closely
as possibly to the milk to be cooled, for the larger part of the
chilling value of ice comes from the melting of the same. To convert a
pound of ice at 32 deg. F. into a pound of water at the same temperature,
if we disregard radiation, would require as much heat as would suffice to
raise 142 pounds of water one degree F., or one pound of water 142 deg. F.
The absorptive capacity of milk for heat (specific heat) is not quite
the same as it is with water, being .847 for milk in comparison with 1.0
for water.[151] Hot milk would therefore require somewhat less ice to
cool it than would be required by any equal volume of water at the same
temperature.
~Bottling the product.~ If the milk has been properly pasteurized, it
should, of course, be dispensed in sterilized bottles. Glass bottles
with plain pulp caps are best, and these should be thoroughly sterilized
in steam before using. The bottling can best be done in a commercial
bottling machine. Care must be taken to thoroughly clean this apparatus
after use each day. Rubber valves in these machines suffer deterioration
rapidly.

~Restoration of "body" of pasteurized cream.~ The action of heat causes
the tiny groupings of fat globules in normal milk (Fig. 22) to break up,
and with this change, which occurs in the neighborhood of 140 deg. F.,
where the milk is heated for about 15 minutes and at about 160-165 deg.
F. where rapidly heated in a continuous stream, the consistency of the
liquid is diminished, notwithstanding the fact that the fat-content
remains unchanged. Babcock and the writer[152] devised the following
"cure" for this apparent defect. If a strong solution of cane sugar is
added to freshly slacked lime and the mixture allowed to stand, a clear
fluid can be decanted off. The addition of this alkaline liquid, which
is called "viscogen," to pasteurized cream in proportions of about one
part of sugar-lime solution to 100 to 150 of cream, restores the
consistency of the cream, as it causes the fat globules to cluster
together in small groups.
The relative viscosity of creams can easily be determined by the
following method (Fig. 29):
