Summary

Heat coagulation time-pH curves at 140°C were obtained for 43 blended skim milk samples from Holstein cows to determine the effects of genetic variants of κ-casein and β-lactoglobulin on milk heat stability. The blended milk samples were similar in terms of protein content and milk salts, but were genotypically different for κ-casein (AA, AB) and β-lactoglobulin (AA, AB, BB). Type A curves were obtained for all milks. Maximum heat stability was affected by the κ-casein genotype (AB > AA, P < 0·01) but the influence of the β-lactoglobulin genotype was only significant when the κ-casein AA genotype was present (β-lactoglobulin AA > BB, P < 0·0001). Minimum heat stability was significantly higher (P < 0·0001) for milk genotyped κ-casein AB:β-lactoglobulin BB. The effects of milk genotyped κ-casein BB on maximum and minimum heat stability were determined by analysing individual milks: κ-casein BB:β-lactoglobulin AB (n=8) and reconstituted milks: κ-casein BB:β-lactoglobulin AA, AB and BB (n = 17). Type B curves were obtained on three occasions for individual κ-casein BB:β-lactoglobulin AB milk and on five occasions in the case of reconstituted milks with κ-casein BB:β-lactoglobulin AA, AB and BB. This suggests a relationship between the type B curve and the κ-casein B genetic variant. Comparison of the mean values of heat stability at the pH of maximum heat stability of each individual and reconstituted milk genotype suggested that the best genotype for κ-casein in terms of heat stability was BB.
