The present invention relates to a process for removing the fouling deposited in a milk processor unit after a thermal processing of milk or a food product including milk at a T between 80 C. and 150 C. for at least 4 hours, including said fouling proteins, lactose, minerals and products formed therefrom, comprising the step of applying a cleaning solution on said fouling deposited in the milk processor unit. The present invention further relates to a cleaning solution for removing the fouling deposited in a milk processor unit.

A method for cleaning a machine for liquid or semi-liquid food products having a container forming a processing chamber, a mixer inside the processing chamber, and a thermal treatment mechanism to exchange heat with the processing chamber. The method includes a) pasteurizing a basic mixture or finished product in the container at a first time interval; b) performing the following operations at a second time interval: emptying the basic mixture from the container, washing the container using a washing fluid, filling the container with a cleaning fluid and subjecting the cleaning fluid in the container to a heating thermal treatment; c) disassembling and cleaning at a third time interval components of the machine which make contact, in use, with the basic mixture or product, where the first time interval is less than the second time interval and the second time interval is less than the third time interval.

An intermediate storage tank assembly can include a filling line; a filling machine; and an end-valve assembly. In some embodiments, the intermediate storage tank assembly comprises a switch arranged between said filling machine and said end-valve assembly for detecting a level of product and in response thereto stopping a priming of intermediate storage tank thereby preventing product from reaching said end-valve assembly.

Compositions comprising magnesium enriched liquids re provided. Specifically, compositions comprising magnesium enriched milk and/or milk product, wherein a concentration of magnesium ions in said milk and/or milk product ranges from 8 mM to 25 mM, and methods of producing the same, are provided.

A method for removing deposits inside a section in a food processing system is provided. The method comprises introducing a cleaning liquid into the section, inducing boiling of the cleaning liquid by adjusting a pressure and/or a temperature inside the section to a first pressure value and/or a first temperature value, thereby forming bubbles in the cleaning liquid, imploding the bubbles by adjusting the pressure and/or temperature to a second pressure value and/or a second temperature value, thereby forming a mechanical impact on the deposits such that these are released from the section, and transferring the deposits being released by the cleaning liquid out from the section.
