Abstract
The extensive casein polymorphism in dairy goats can influence the chemical-physical and sensory properties of milk and derivatives. The present study investigated the aptitude of goat milks with different levels of α-S1 casein (α-S1-CN) at producing mozzarella cheese. Two goat farms producing milk with high and low level of α-S1-CN (HI and LO, respectively) were selected to perform cheesemaking trials. The outcomes highlighted a strong relationship between curd stretchability and presence/absence of α-S1-CN. A pH value of 5.0 was suitable for stretching both types of curd, but the presence of this casein fraction determined better elasticity and a wider pH range for stretchability. The profiles of the volatile organic compounds of the mozzarella samples showed significant differences under both the qualitative and quantitative point of view, while the results of the sensory analysis indicated the presence of differences in odour/aroma of the samples, with LO cheese having higher “goaty” flavour.
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.
