Abstract
The manufacture of cheese from recombined milk is particularly justified in developing countries facing a shortage of milk for dairy product manufacture, including cheese. Homogenization is essential for preparing recombined cheeses, offering certain advantages while posing challenges. Recombination technology for cheese production can yield economic benefits in some cases. Recombined milk can produce fresh cheeses without much difficulty, but it presents challenges for stretch curd cheeses and those requiring specific functional properties. Key factors influencing cheese quality include the selection of milk powder and control of homogenization conditions. The development of UF retentate/pre-cheese powder has enabled the production of high-solids cheese from recombined milk with minimal to no whey drainage. Domiati, Feta, Cottage, Cream, White and Mozzarella cheeses have been successfully prepared using recombination technology.
期刊介绍:
The International Dairy Journal publishes significant advancements in dairy science and technology in the form of research articles and critical reviews that are of relevance to the broader international dairy community. Within this scope, research on the science and technology of milk and dairy products and the nutritional and health aspects of dairy foods are included; the journal pays particular attention to applied research and its interface with the dairy industry.
The journal''s coverage includes the following, where directly applicable to dairy science and technology:
• Chemistry and physico-chemical properties of milk constituents
• Microbiology, food safety, enzymology, biotechnology
• Processing and engineering
• Emulsion science, food structure, and texture
• Raw material quality and effect on relevant products
• Flavour and off-flavour development
• Technological functionality and applications of dairy ingredients
• Sensory and consumer sciences
• Nutrition and substantiation of human health implications of milk components or dairy products
International Dairy Journal does not publish papers related to milk production, animal health and other aspects of on-farm milk production unless there is a clear relationship to dairy technology, human health or final product quality.
