Exercise 3.

7
Find the ratio of milk with 3.8% fat to milk with 0.5% fat that have to be mixed
in order to produce a blend with 3.5% fat.
Exercise 3.8
For the production of marmalade, the fruits are mixed with sugar and
pectin and the mixture is boiled to about 65% solids concentration. Find the
amount of fruits, sugar, and pectin that must be used for the production of 1000
kg marmalade, if the solids content of the fruits is 10%, the ratio of sugar to
fruit in the recipe is 56:44, and the ratio of sugar to pectin is 100.
Exercise 3.9
For the production of olive oil, the olives are washed, crushed, malaxated, and
separated into oil, water. and solids by centrifugation as in the following flow
chart. Find the flow rate in the exit streams given that: a) the composition of the
olives is 20% oil, 35% water, and 45% solids; b) the composition of the
discharged solids stream in the decanter is 50% solids and 50% water; c) 90%
of the oil is taken out in the first disc centrifuge; and d) the ratio of olives to
water added in the decanter is equal to 1.
