Summary

The effect of varying the casein composition of artificial micelle milk on rennet coagulation time and syneresis was examined in order to determine whether either of these processes is dependent on the concentration of particular casein components. It was found that the levels of κ-and β-caseins had a significant effect on coagulation, whereas syneresis was only affected by the level of β-casein. Partial dephosphorylation of preformed micelles or the incorporation of dephosphorylated or partly dephosphorylated β-casein into artificial micelle milk was found to have an adverse effect on both coagulation and syneresis. It was concluded that the phosphate groups of casein, particularly those of β-casein, are directly involved in the micelle-micelle interactions which occur during coagulation and syneresis.
