-Enrichment in micellar casein of bovine milk for making Kashkaval cheese was studied in order to face yearly variations in the composition of collected milk. Increase in casein content from 22.90 ± 0.01 g·kg -1 to 26.10 ± 0.02 g·kg -1 did not request change in the process parameters and led to cheeses with typical texture and an increase in the recovery of fat and casein in the cheese due to the acceleration of the organisation of the rennet curd matrix and a greater final firmness. The cheese yield was increased by 16.9%. On the other hand, increase in casein content to 29.20 ± 0.02 g·kg -1 led to a high increase in the vat acidification and to an unsatisfactory cheddaring step, which consequently involved protein losses in the draining whey.
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.
