Summary

The effect of preheating skim milk and artificial micelle milk on curd syneresis was studied. The inhibition of syneresis caused by heat was dependent on the presence of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) and to a lesser extent α-lactalbumin. The degree of inhibition increased with increasing amounts of added β-lg and preheating temperature. This agrees with the hypothesis that the detrimental effect of preheating on syneresis is due to complex formation between β-lg and κ-casein. This complex appeared to be mediated via thiol–disulphide exchange and its formation appeared to interfere with the micelle–micelle interactions responsible for syneresis.
