Microscopy and permeability studies were performed to further illustrate the cooling effects on rennet casein gel structure and help interpret the rheological observations in the first part of this paper. Samples of gels cooled from 80 to 5 degrees C at four rates (0.5, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.025 degrees C/min) were studied with a confocal laser scanning microscope. A larger number of smaller flocs w...
