Abstract
This study compared the in-vat moisture loss kinetics under fixed cheesemaking conditions during 75 min of stirring of curds prepared from protein-standardised milks produced from indoor cows fed total mixed ration (TMR), or outdoor cows fed grass only (GRA) or grass mixed with clover (CLO). Relative curd moisture as a function of time was fitted to different empirical equations, of which a logarithmic function gave the best fit to the experimental data. The moisture loss rate constant (k/min) was found to be similar for curds from protein-standardised TMR, CLO and GRA milks, showing minimal feed-induced variations in syneresis.
