Abstract
Cow's milk and/or its analogues are demineralized and the ash balance thereof adjusted with ion-exchange membrane electrodialysis apparatus. The method comprises demineralizing cow's milk or its analogues in a first stage consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks at a demineralization rate of below 50 percent, then further demineralizing thus obtained milk in a second stage consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks at a demineralization rate of more than 60%, transferring thus demineralized milk to concentration compartments consisting of one or more of electrodialysis stacks of the first stage, then discharging the milk which was adjusted.
