The aim of this study was thus to determine the relationship between theS1-CN content and coagulation properties of milk from Swedish Landrace goats. Milk samples from 62 dairy goats from two herds were analysed. As many as 44% goats showed low or no production ofS1-CN. Only 24% of the investigated goats showed high production of this protein. The coagulation properties of milk from the dairy goats were clearly influenced by the concentration ofS1-CN. The milk from low levelS1-CN animals resulted in 15% longer coagulation time and 60% weaker gels compared to the gel firmness of the high expressing group. The coagulation time was strongly associated with the pH of the milk (p<0.001), where the milk with lowS1-CN content had higher pH. Further, goat milk with low levels ofS1-CN was shown to have significantly lower total protein (p<0.05) compared to milk from high expressingS1-CN goats.","PeriodicalId":22809,"journal":{"name":"The Open Food Science Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78524892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study sensory analysis was used to determine differences in the product texture due to changes in the formulation for fifteen different formulations for the sorghum cones; in view of optimizing the sorghum cone texture. The sensory panel was used to determine the texture rated according to hardness, crispness and overall acceptability. Panelists used a 6-point scale for sensory evaluation (6 = \"extremely hard\" to 1 = \"soft\") to rate hardness and 6 = \"extremely crispy\" to 1= \"Not crispy\" to rate crispness and a 9-point hedonic scale (9 = \"like extremely\"; 1 = \"dislike extremely\") to rate the overall acceptability.

Due to the large number of substances found in exhaust air and the various operational parameters needed, a huge amount of often high dimensional data has to be analyzed. The ultimate goal is to finally reduce data complexity in terms of information reflecting the substancescharacteristics. The Cluster Analysis (CA) of data from 30 exhaust air compounds with 11 indices representing both structural characteristics and physicochemical data resulted in 7 clusters. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) led to the identification of 6 Principal Components (PCs) and therefore to a dimensional reduction compared to the originally used 11 indices. After re-gathering the total information of the original data-set upon the 6 PCs only, a re-clustering showed that we were able to restore the same cluster structure as in the original CA based on the 11 indices. This process is a first proof of principle in successful re-clustering after dimensional data reduction by our proposed combined CA-PCA method and hence a step towards a possible development of an adsorption method to selectively remove malodorous/toxic components from the exhaust air.","PeriodicalId":22809,"journal":{"name":"The Open Food Science Journal","volume":"81 1","pages":"8-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79321127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
