In-line total solids measurement for efficient sweetened condensed milk production

Sweetened condensed milk is one way of preserving milk. It is also quite a popular ingredient in confectionary and sweets production. Produced from whole or skim milk, sweetened condensed milk usually has sugar content of 62-65%. It is extremely important to control in-line the correct sugar dosing as it effects the shelf life, the taste qualities and the cost-efficiency of the production.
