USANS and SANS investigations on the coagulation of commercial bovine milk: Microstructures induced by calf and fungal rennet

The structural changes of a bovine casein micelle during temperature change; in situ observation over a wide spatial scale from nano to micrometer

“…In this study, the slope in the USAXS region was analyzed using the mass-fractal structure proposed by Pink et al . 16,30,31…”

“…17,23 Pink et al calculated the USAXS/USANS region using a mass-fractal model and concluded that micelles were arranged into a 1-dimensional structure. 16,30,31…”

“…The casein micelle and its aggregation have also been evaluated using ultra-SAXS (USAXS) and ultra-SANS (USANS). 16,17,23,[29][30][31] Smith et al reported that the structure factor of sticky, hard spheres was adopted in the fitting equation because it was considered that the interference between micelles exists in the ultralow q-region. 17, 23 Pink et al calculated the USAXS/USANS region using a mass-fractal model and concluded that micelles were arranged into a 1-dimensional structure.…”

“…17, 23 Pink et al calculated the USAXS/USANS region using a mass-fractal model and concluded that micelles were arranged into a 1-dimensional structure. 16,30,31 The physicochemical properties of micelles and CCPs are affected by temperature. Liu et al reported a reduction of the diameter of a micelle when the sample was heated in the range of 10 -40 1C, together with decrease in soluble Ca.…”

Spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering for multiscale structure analysis of food materials

“…The measurements were best described by starting with reaction limited cluster-cluster aggregation and ending with diffusion limited cluster-cluster aggregation. Recently, USANS measurements have been published on aggregates of both skimmed and whole milk that show that the fractal structure depends on the rennet used (Callaghan-Patrachar, Peyronel, Pink, Marangoni, & Adams, 2021). One point of concern is the potential effect of using D 2 O as a solvent to increase contrast on the aggregation behaviour.…”
