One of the salting methods in cheese production implies salting the milk before coagulation used in making Domiati-type cheeses and a variety of autochthonous "Lički Škripavac" cheese. The most used sodium replacer is potassium. This study investigated the influence of different added salt concentrations (1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and NaCl to KCl ratios (100%, 50:50%, 25:75%) on the rennet coagulation and curd firmness in bovine milk. The milk coagulation parameters were determined with a computerized renneting meter, Lactodinamograph. The results showed significant interactions between the salt concentrations and NaCl to KCl ratios ( < 0.0001, α = 0.05) by prolonging the beginning of coagulation (10-20 min) and curd firming rate (1-5 min) by an increase in salt concentration for all treatments. The 50:50 treatment values (RCT, k, a, a, a) were closest to the control (without salt) and had the best results among all treatments in the lower (1%) and medium (1.5%) salt concentration ( > 0.0001, α = 0.05) while in the highest salt concentration (2%) the treatment effect was nonsignificant ( > 0.05). These results should help future studies make a lower sodium product appealing to consumers without losing quality.
奶酪生产中的一种加盐方法是在制作多米亚蒂型奶酪和各种当地“利基什克里帕瓦茨”奶酪时,在凝乳前对牛奶进行加盐。最常用的钠替代物是钾。本研究调查了不同添加盐浓度(1%、1.5%和2%)以及氯化钠与氯化钾比例(100%、50:50%、25:75%)对牛乳凝乳酶凝固和凝乳硬度的影响。使用电脑化凝乳酶测定仪Lactodinamograph测定牛奶凝固参数。结果显示,通过提高所有处理的盐浓度,盐浓度与氯化钠与氯化钾比例之间存在显著交互作用(<0.0001,α = 0.05),延长了凝固开始时间(10 - 20分钟)和凝乳硬化速率(1 - 5分钟)。50:50处理的值(RCT、k、a、a、a)最接近对照(无盐),并且在较低(1%)和中等(1.5%)盐浓度下,在所有处理中效果最佳(>0.0001,α = 0.05),而在最高盐浓度(2%)下,处理效果不显著(>0.05)。这些结果应有助于未来的研究在不降低质量的情况下,使低钠产品对消费者具有吸引力。
