“…The rate and extent of the initial drop of pH, as well as the time it took to reach the final values was virtually identical for the samples with and without starch. These results confirmed previous observations (Lucey et al, 1998) as fast hydrolysis of GDL to gluconic acid resulted in a rapid decrease of pH, even in the presence of starch (Zuo, Hemar, Hewitt, & Saunders, 2008). It is important to point out that under these conditions of rapid acidification, the micellar calcium phosphate is released from the casein micelles but there may be no equilibrium with the surrounding solution (Dalgleish, Verespej, Alexander, & Corredig, 2005).…”
