work concern nt work is to extend the knowledge about the fouling process occurring during the heat
treatment of milk products. For this purpose, the fouling behavior of three model solutions (whey
protein, SMUF – a solution that simulates the mineral composition of milk, and a SMUF–rich whey
protein solution) on amorphous hydrogen containing carbon coatings, namely a-C:H, a-C:H:Si and a-
C:H:Si:O, with different energetic surface properties is to be examined. These coatings show non-
cytotoxicity, satisfy corrosion and mitigation standards for food contact and of
