X Abstract

Individual milk samples from 80 cows in mid-lactation of the Swedish Red and Swedish Holstein breeds with known protein genotypes of β- and κ-casein and β-lactoglobulin were analysed for acid coagulation properties. Glucono-δ-lactone (1.5%) was added to defatted, heated (90–95 °C) samples and rheological properties of the gels were measured using a Bohlin VOR Rheometer. Coagulation time (CT) and curd firmness after 4, 8 and 10 h ( G 4 ′, G 8 ′, and G 10 ′ were registered for each sample. Milk protein composition was analysed by reversed phase HPLC. Concentration of β-lactoglobulin in milk was found to be an important factor for the variation in CT and G ′. The A allele of β-lactoglobulin was associated with higher concentrations of β-lactoglobulin in milk compared with B. When no adjustment for β-lactoglobulin concentration was made, there was a significant overall effect of β-lactoglobulin genotype on acid coagulation, where the AA and AB genotypes were associated with better curd firmness compared with BB, whereas at equal β-lactoglobulin concentrations a tendency in the opposite direction was found with a significant and positive effect of BB compared with AB. Lactose concentration of milk had a positive effect on acid coagulation and was shown to improve G ′ in milk with low β-lactoglobulin concentrations.
