How deposits of casein micelles form and redisperse

Beamline setup
During the skim milk filtration, casein micelles accumulate at the membrane surface and form a cohesive and compressible gel, which reduces the filtration performance. Studying the properties of casein micelle deposit, i.e. its structure and reversibility, is thus of crucial significance. This was the aim of Floriane Doudiès’ PhD.

To study the gel properties, we developed two complementary strategies:

  • in-situ, by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), to observe micelle concentration profiles at the surface of the membrane and thus to follow the gel formation and re-dispersion of casein micelles during the filtration;
  • ex-situ, to evaluate the compressibility of the deposit by studying rheological and cohesive properties of concentrated micelle dispersions.

 We demonstrated that:

  • At 7°C the micelles are less compressible, their sol-gel transition concentration is lower and they develop more cohesive interactions than at 20°C;
  • During filtration, releasing the applied pressure partially removes the casein micelle deposits due to decompression and re-dispersion of micelles. Casein micelle compression is less reversible at 12°C than at 42°C.

The filtration deposit is microscopic (thickness <10–4 m), and equipment required for its study is colossal: Floriane Doudiès, during the analysis of the deposit at the Beamline SWING of the synchrotron SOLEIL

 This work opens the way for the quantitative characterization of the reversibility of membrane fouling based on the physicochemical properties of the filtration deposit.
