We investigated the effect of capsular and ropy exopolysaccharide-producing Streptococcus thermophilus starter bacteria on Mozzarella cheese functionality and whey viscosity. Mozzarella cheeses were manufactured with Lactobacillus helveticus LH100 paired with one of four S. thermophilus strains: MR-1C, a bacterium that produces a capsular exopolysaccharide; MTC360, a strain that secretes a ropy...

The effect of Jersey milk use solely or at different inclusion rates in Holstein-Friesian milk on Cheddar cheese production was investigated. Cheese was produced every month over a year using nonstandardized milk consisting of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% Jersey milk in Holstein-Friesian milk in a 100-L vat. Actual, theoretical, and moisture-adjusted yield increased linearly with percentage of Jerse...

Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a C-terminal part (f 106-169) of kappa-casein which is released in whey during cheese making by the action of chymosin. GMP being a biologically active component has gained much attention in the past decade. It also has unique chemical and functional properties. Many of the biological properties have been ascribed to the carbohydrate moieties attached to the peptide. ...

Separation of proteins from whey; namely α – Lactoglobulin and β – Lactalbumin was obtained using the bubble foam column technique. Two types of whey were conducted in this study; yogurt whey and cheese whey. The effect of gas flow-rate and the height of the whey (liquid holdup) inside the column were studied at room temperature and at constant pH of whey. Whey used here obtained from local dai...

This study focuses on the optimisation of cheese whey formulated media for the production of hyaluronic acid (HA) by Streptococcus zooepidemicus. Culture media containing whey (W; 2.1g/L) or whey hydrolysate (WH; 2.4 g/L) gave the highest HA productions. Both W and WH produced high yields on protein consumed, suggesting cheese whey is a good nitrogen source for S. zooepidemicus production of HA...

The fate of ivermectin (IVM) residues was studied throughout the processing of daily bulk milk from 30 ewes (taken up to 33 d following subcutaneous administration of 0.2 mg IVM/kg b.w.) in the following milk products: yoghurt made from raw and pasteurized milk; cheese after pressing; 30- and 60-day ripened cheese; and whey, secondary whey and whey proteins obtained after cheese-making (albumin...

Introduction Hellim (Halloumi) cheese is a traditional cheese belonging to Cyprus. Hellim is a popular and a widely-consumed dairy product especially in the eastern region of Mediterranean (Kaminarides et al., 2007). It is a semi-hard rindless cheese preserved in brine. The manufacture of Halloumi has been described by Anifantakis and Kaminarides (1983). The most characteristic peculiarity of t...

In the present study, the effect of feed Se supplementation on the Se content of raw milk and mozzarella cheese as well as the effect on cheese quality and functionality were determined. The Se milk was produced by supplying dairy cow feed with Se yeast (0.3mg of Se/kg of dry matter), resulting in a Se concentration in milk of 35.81μg/L. The fat, casein, and whey protein of Se milk were separat...

The heat-treatment of cheese milk, or whey, to denature the whey proteins has long been the most applied means of recovering these proteins, either directly in the cheese curd, or as added to the cheese milk prior to renneting. In heat-treated milk, the interaction of the denatured whey proteins with the casein micelles, however, limits the primary phase of the enzymatic reaction, and prevents ...

Introduction In recent years, milk constituents have become recognized as functional foods, suggesting their use has a direct and measurable effect on health outcomes.1 Whey, a by-product of cheese and curd manufacturing, was once considered a waste product. The recognition of whey as a functional food with nutritional applications has elevated whey to a co-product in the manufacturing of chees...
