Abstract
Circulation cleaning of food processing equipment—by pumping detergent through it—has been adopted so rapidly in food plant operations that knowledge of basic principles has not kept pace with usage. A research program evaluating : the variables in the cleaning process used films of milk labeled with a radioactive tracer, to simulate the soil to be washed from the equipment.
