    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Dena Marie Bengtsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ruminant milk; Swedish bovine rennet; Swedish kid rennet; Swedish lamb rennet; Artisanal cheese production; Rheological properties; Curd yield; Gel firmness; Innovation; Milk coagulation time;

    Abstract : The study aimed to examine Swedish innovation rennets (lamb and kid) and bovine rennets (pepsin and chymosin) in combination with species-specific milk from goat, sheep, and cow. This was accomplished by evaluating the gross composition, casein and whey protein content, casein number of the milk types, as well as rheological properties, such as curd yield, coagulation time, and gel firmness.

  5. 4. Milk yield and composition in Swedish landrace goats (Capra hircus) kept together with their kids in two different systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Madeleine Högberg; [2011]
    Keywords : goats; milk yield; milk composition; casein; rearing systems; kids;

    Abstract : Swedish goats are mainly held for cheese production and therefore, both milk quality and composition are of great importance for dairymen. Today, only few data exists on milk composition from Swedish dairy goats and the casein content is still unknown. READ MORE
