Method for preparing a long-life, ready-to-use milk food made as a substitute for breast milk in liquid form, comprising the following stages:
- preparation in two separate tanks of a first phase consisting of a milk composition and a second fatty phase
- transfer of said first phase from the first tank to a balance tank, via a duct comprising a route of injection of said second phase, wherein said duct comprises homogenisation means between the injection zone of the second phase and the balance tank in order to form a pre-emulsion
- cooling of said pre-emulsion in the balance tank and holding at a temperature of between 5 and 10° C. for a period of between 3 and 30 H
- treatment of said pre-emulsion balanced by sterilisation and by a second homogenisation
- packing of the milk food made as a substitute for breast milk thus obtained in an aseptic environment.
Installation for preparation of a long-life, ready-to-use milk food made as a substitute for breast milk in liquid form, comprising two first upstream tanks and a balance tank connected to a first upstream tank by a main duct comprising an injection zone for the contents of the second upstream tank, wherein said main tank furthermore comprises a homogeniser between the injection zone and the balance tank, wherein the installation furthermore comprises cooling means for cooling the balance tank, sterilisation equipment, a second high-pressure homogeniser and a sterile packaging line.
