This study aimed to determine the optimal pH for Moringa oleifera seeds extract as a milk casein coagulant in terms of milk-clotting activity (MCA), caseinolytic activity (CA), ratio MCA/CA, and coagulation time. Moringa oleifera seeds extraction was obtained using the Focused Microwave-Assisted Soxhlet Extraction (FMASE) method. Milk-clotting activity was analyzed using skim milk. Caseinolytic activity was assessed using sodium caseinate as substrates. The effects of pH (5-8) on Moringa oleifera seeds enzyme activities were determined using experimental design of Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with 5 treatments, maceration extract (P0), FMASE extract at pH 5 (T 1 ), 6 (T 2 ), 7 (T 3 ) and 8 (T 4 ) with 3 times replications. The significant influence will be tested using Duncan test. The results showed that the difference in pH atmosphere had a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on MCA, CA, MCI, and coagulation time. The pH 5 setting on the addition of Moringa oleifera seeds extract as a milk coagulant showed the optimum results at MCA 69.68 U/ml and MCI 3209.09, low yields at CA 0.02. U/ml, and gives a short time in the milk coagulation process of 14.35 s. The conclusion of this study is that adjusting the pH atmosphere in an increasingly acidic atmosphere will increase the work of the protease enzyme in Moringa oleifera seeds extract. pH 5 and 6 Moringa oleifera seeds extract can work optimally and will decrease at pH 7.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
