Gi. Imafidon et Ny. Farkye, RENNET COAGULABILITY OF HIGH-HEAT TREATED MILK INFLUENCED BY TIME OF PH ADJUSTMENT, Journal of food science, 58(6), 1993, pp. 1300-1302
The coagulability of high-heat treated (91-degrees-C for 16 or 60 sec)
milk was measured with a Formagraph. Coagulation (hysteresis) and cur
d formation by such milk was increased by direct acidification to pH <
6.4 before rennet addition. Coagulation properties were increased gre
atly when such milk was pH-cycled (i.e., acidified to pH 5.5, held ove
rnight at 4-degrees-C, then neutralized to pH 6.2-6.4) before rennet a
ddition.
