The disruption of casein micelles through the addition calcium sequestering salts (CSS) disodium phosphate (DSP), pyrophosphate (DSPP) and tetrasodium (TSPP), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), hexametaphosphate (SHMP) trisodium citrate (TSC) at 10, 15, 20 30 mEq/L levels was investigated in 5% micellar isolate solution. All CSS, except DSPP TSPP, showed a decrease particle size viscosity with increasing concentration. 10–30 CSS to MCI decreased protein-bound sedimentable Ca P pH 6.5.10...
For sample preparation prior to mineral analysis, microwave digestion (~2 h) is quicker and requires lower acid volume as compared dry (6-8 wet (4-5 h). However, had not yet been systematically with for different cheese matrices. In this work, the three methods were measuring major (Ca, K, Mg, Na P) trace minerals (Cu, Fe, Mn Zn) in samples using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The study involved nine moisture content varying from 32 81% a standard...

In this study, the protein and salts distribution (Ca, P, Na Mg) in processed cheese (PC) samples prepared with 180 or 360 mEq/kg of calcium sequestering (CSS) disodium phosphate (DSP), pyrophosphate (DSPP), sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) trisodium citrate (TSC) was studied. For purpose, a water-soluble extract (WSE) PC prepared. All contained 45-46% moisture, 26-27% fat 20-21% had pH 5.2 5.7. Ultracentrifugation slightly reduced content WSE PC, indicating that most non-sedimentable. At...
Processed cheese (PC) is a widely consumed dairy product and has undergone significant evolution over time, leading to various formulations aimed at enhancing texture functionality. This review addresses the role of starch addition on PC, focusing interactions with milk proteins understanding its influence rheological properties, microstructure, overall quality PC. Our key findings indicate that serves as cost-effective ingredient can replace or supplement components, improving water-binding...
Skim milk served as the base for production of low-calorie synbiotic yoghurt (LCSY) and four randomly selected indigenous LAB probiotic strains namely, Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCDC 13), paracasei ssp. 627), rhamnosus 610), plantarum 344) were evaluated their growth characteristics in skim milk. with S. thermophilus 74 (LR_74) exhibited desirable pH (4.60 ± 0.01), acidity, significantly highest acidification rate (4.23 0.03 × 10−3 units min-), count (9.10 0.10 log cfu/ml), specific (0.47...
