  1. 1. Association between technological properties of bovine milk, cold induced depletion and genetic variants of β- and κ-casein

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Simon Tobias Höxter; [2023]
    Keywords : Milk proteins; casein micelle; β-casein depletion; micelle size; milk coagulation properties Swedish;

    Abstract : Caseins (CN) represent about 80% of the total protein in bovine milk and are of major importance in dairy production. The four casein types, i.e., αs1-, β-, αs2-, and κ-casein are in turn divided into different genetic variants. READ MORE

  3. 2. A comparative study of innovation rennets from Swedish ruminants: calves, kids, and lambs

    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.

  4. 3. Relation between αs1-casein, proteolytic activity and composition of milk from Swedish goats

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Emma Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : swedish goat milk; αs1-casein; total proteolysis; plasmin; plasminogen; spectrophotometry;

    Abstract : In the recent decade, locally produced food has gained in interest among Swedish consumers. Consumer values for buying local food has to do with concerns about diversity, purity and authenticity of food as well as a desire to support rural areas. One type of product that has gained in interest is locally produced goat cheese. READ MORE

  5. 4. Composition and processability of milk from older cows : a pilot study on milk quality differences between young and old cows

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Gabriella Apelthun; [2020]
    Keywords : Raw milk quality; lactation number; gel firmness; rennet coagulation time; Swedish Holstein; Swedish Red;

    Abstract : Most Swedish dairy cow’s life expectancy is five years, which is 2.5 lactations. The most common reason for dairy cows being culled are e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. Total proteolysis in bovine raw bulk milk of Northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Elina Toss Ekmyr; [2020]
    Keywords : total proteolysis; plasmin; SDS PAGE; total bacteria count; somatic cell counts;

    Abstract : Proteases are enzymes that catalyze protein breakdown. The major indigenous protease is plasmin, that together with proteases originating from somatic cells and bacteria, accounts for most of the proteolytic activity in bovine milk. In many dairy products, the key characteristics depends on the concentration and composition of the milk proteins. READ MORE
