Abstract:A non-destructive ultrasonic technique presented in this paper to monitor in real time the renneted milk coagulation process in order to predict the clotting time. This one is often used as a reference to determine the cutting time of the gel, which means that the whey trapped in the gel pores has been expelled. During the enzymatic coagulation of milk, the change of the flight time has been exploited to determine the clotting time with high precision. The effects of the temperature (Standard temperature (ST), High temperature (HT) and Low temperature (LT)) and rennet concentration (Standard rennet (SR), High rennet (HR) and Low rennet (LR)) on the enzymatic coagulation were studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
