Ultra-high-temperature (UHT)-processed reconstituted milk that is subjected to a minimal preheat treatment during the direct-steam-injection heating process may have a shortened shelf-life as a result of plasmin-mediated proteolysis. Some manufacturers apply a preheat treatment before UHT treatment (140 °C for 4 s) with the aim of prolonging the shelf-life. Preheat treatments are, however, often arbitrary in terms of temperature and holding time. The aim of the current work was to determine guidelines for the minimum preheat treatment that will effectively inhibit or prevent plasmin-type enzyme activity in UHT milk. A selected range of preheat treatments was applied to milk preparations reconstituted from several batches of low-heat skim milk powder. Increased plasmin-type proteolysis was observed after intermediate preheat treatments at ⩾80 and <90 °C. Effective inhibition of plasmin-type proteolysis was obtained by preheating at 90 °C for 30 or 60 s.
