Efficacy of
Withania coagulans
fruit extract as a coagulant for Mozzarella cheese at different coagulation temperatures from curd formation to pizza top
Abstract:Withania coagulans is a shrub that has milk‐clotting activity. Its coagulation efficiency at different concentrations and incubation temperatures was measured for Mozzarella cheese from curd formation to its application on the pizza top. Curd made at higher W. coagulans concentration (1%) has less coagulation time (1272.99 ± 96.68 s), viscosity (148.58 ± 9.25 Pa s), pH (5.89 ± 0.05), and yield (7.87 ± 0.53%) as compared to rest of samples. Increasing temperature (39°C) also decreased coagulation time (1599.19 … Show more
