Effect of milk concentration on the rennet coagulation time

Abstract

SummaryMeasurements have been made of the coagulation times (CT) of concentrated and diluted milks when treated with chymosin. After dilution, milks showed a large increase in CT: conversely, concentrated milks showed a similar CT to unconcentrated milk. The results are discussed in terms of a mechanism which reduces to a form similar to that proposed by Holter (1932).
