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...

Alcoholic fermentation of cheese whey permeate was investigated using a recombinant flocculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expressing the LAC4 (coding for beta-galactosidase) and LAC12 (coding for lactose permease) genes of Kluyveromyces marxianus enabling for lactose metabolization. Data on yeast fermentation and growth on cheese whey permeate from a Portuguese dairy industry is presented. For...

The processing of cheese whey pre-concentrated by reverse osmosis is carried out through ultrafiltration in diafiltration mode to produce whey protein concentrates with lower lactose content to be incorporated in beverages. The initial cheese whey protein and lactose contents are 2.13g/100g and 13.22g/100g, respectively.The commercial membranes, GR95PP, supplied by Alfa Laval, Denmark, we...

As the cheese market faces strong international competition, the optimization of production processes becomes more important for the economic success of dairy companies. In dairy productions, whey from former cheese batches is frequently re-used to increase the yield, to improve the texture and to increase the nutrient value of the final product. Recycling of whey cream and particulated whey pr...

The effects of the addition of whey protein concentrates and clarification by-products obtained from ovine cheese whey and deproteinized whey (Sorelho) on the yield and quality of the whey cheese (Requeijão) have been evaluated. Whey protein concentrates were obtained by ultrafiltration of skimmed whey and Sorelho. The clarification by-products were obtained after the treatment of the skimmed w...

BACKGROUND: Use of lactose-rich concentrates from dairy processes for the induction of recombinant gene's expression has not received much attention although they are interesting low cost substrates for production of recombinant enzymes. Applicability of dairy waste for induction of recombinant genes in Escherichia coli was studied. Clones expressing Lactobacillus phage muramidase and Lactobaci...

Anaerobic treatability and methane generation potential of cheese whey were determined in batch reactors. Furthermore, the effect of nutrient and trace metal supplementation on the batch anaerobic treatment, and the high-rate anaerobic treatability of cheese whey in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors were investigated. To this purpose biochemical methane potential experiments were ...

The present study was undertaken to make crude comparison between whey obtained from paneer and cheese during manufacturing. Paneer and cheese whey were compared in terms of all the minerals as well as physicochemical properties indispensable for electrolyte drink. The slight differences attributed, among various parameters can be mainly due the difference in manufacturing process. Our results ...

The effect of the microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) enzyme treatment on some properties of whey cheese made from goat’s milk whey was studied; the results shows that the yield of whey cheese increased about 0.7 and 1.01% by using the concentration of 4 and 8U gm-1 whey protein respectively, the addition of MTGase for producing whey cheese caused a clear increase in hardness and the higher har...
