The composition and physical properties of raw milk from a commercial herd were studied 8 over a one year period in order to understand how best to utilise milk for processing 9 throughout the year. Protein and fat levels demonstrated seasonal trends, while minerals and 10 many physical properties displayed considerable variations, which were apparently unrelated 11 to season. However, rennet c...

Pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance and proton nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry were used to study the self-diffusion coefficients and molecular dynamics of linear (PEGs) and spherical probes (dendrimers) in native phosphocaseinate suspensions and in a concentrated rennet gel. It was shown that both the size and the shape of the diffusing molecules and the matrix topography a...

After the fermentation of bovine milk by lactic acid bacteria, rennet was added, and then the curd was formed by incubating at 30°C for 12 hours in the presence of soy protein isolate (SI) or 7S globulin (7S). Cheese was produced from the cooked curd. The texture of the curd and the cheese was studied by break down and cutting tests, respectively. In the break down test of the curd, the order o...

HPP (high pressure processing) is one of the novel technologies to produce microbiologically safe food. HPP is a non-thermal food processing method, wherein the food is subjected to a very high pressure ranging between 100-800 MPa in order to prevent undesirable chemical and microbiological reactions, and hence, prolong the shelf-life. HPP is also called as “high hydrostatic processing, ultra-h...

SALIVA, besides its main functions in assisting deglutition and exercising some amylolytic action, has other functions of secondary importance which also play a certain role in digestive processes. Maxwell [1915] found that boiled starch has a marked inhibitory action on peptic digestion, but that the products of amylolytic hydrolysis have not this effect. Thus the amylolytic ferment of the sal...

When the Wisconsin dairy sheep industry got started in the mid 1990s, cheesemakers had to get accustomed to a whole new source of milk. All were familiar with cow milk and some were familiar with goat milk. However, sheep milk was much more concentrated with about twice as much fat and 40% more protein that cow or goat milk. They also found that sheep milk responded differently in the cheese ma...

Suitable medium for production of milk clotting enzyme (MCE) by Bacillus subtilis (natto) Takahashi in submerged liquid-state fermentation was screened, the nutrient factors affecting MCE production was optimized by response surface methodology. The MCE production by B. subtilis (natto) Takahashi was increased significantly by 428% in the optimal medium developed. The MCE was filtered and conce...
