Abstract
SUMMARY: Effects of pH, added Ca, rennet concentration, temperature, concentration and dilution of milk, on rennet clotting and coagulum development have been investigated. Rennet clotting time (RCT) was decreased by reduced pH, by increased temperature and by increased concentrations of rennet or added Ca. Only extremes of concentration or dilution of milk increased RCT. Strength of milk coagulum at 1 h after RCT was increased by reduction in pH and by increased concentrations of added Ca. Increased temperatures decreased coagulum strength whereas increased rennet concentrations had little effect. A curvilinear relationship between total casein concentration and coagulum strength was found for Friesian and Jersey milks. Two phases of coagulum development after clotting were observed. Changes in pH particularly affected the first phase whereas changes in temperature particularly affected the second. Effects of rennet, casein and Ca were similar for both phases.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
