What are the factors that affect milk skin production?

When using a milk skin production line, several factors influence the final product:

1. **Temperature**: The rate of milk skin formation increases as the temperature rises, within the range below milk's boiling point. Higher temperatures promote water evaporation from the emulsion surface, protein denaturation, polymerization, and fat buoyancy.

2. **pH**: The pH of the emulsion affects protein denaturation, ionic strength, emulsifying and foaming properties, and the flexibility of the protein. These factors influence protein polymerization, the interaction between milk protein and fat, and the rate and composition of milk skin formation.

3. **Ionic Strength**: The ionic composition and strength of the emulsion impact the electrical properties of proteins, their conformation, denaturation, and the formation of salt bridges between proteins and fat. These interactions affect milk crust formation.

4. **Concentration of Substances in Raw Milk**: The type and concentration of protein, fat content, size and distribution of fat globules, and the protein-to-fat ratio all influence the rate, yield, and composition of milk crust formation.

5. **Emulsion Surface Area-to-Volume Ratio**: A larger surface area increases the evaporation surface for the same volume of emulsion, promoting rapid evaporation and milk skin formation. However, an excessively high ratio can affect the thickness and composition of the milk skin.

6. **Ambient Conditions**: Air velocity, temperature, and humidity affect the evaporation rate of water from the emulsion surface. High air velocity and low humidity accelerate evaporation, thereby promoting milk skin formation.
