This work aimed to study milk gel formation during a slow fermentation process and the simultaneous action of different proteases like bovine chymosin, recombinant camel chymosin, ficin and bromelain. The acid-induced gels with bovine chymosin and recombinant camel chymosin were firmer than the control gels without proteases or the gels added with plant proteases. However, the acid-induced gels with chymosins had a considerable water release and shrunk in volume as the milk fermentation progressed. In contrast, the acid-induced gels added with bromelain and ficin were softer and showed less syneresis, even at acidic pHs.
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.
