Abstract

There is considerable interest in the relationship between milk protein polymorphism and cheesemaking properties of milk (e.g. Jakob & Puhan, 1992, 1995; Jakob, 1993). For example, the B variant of κ-casein is associated with firmer cheese curds, shorter renneting times, a smaller average micelle size, higher milk casein and κ-casein concentrations and lower whey protein concentrations (Jakob, 1994; Horne et al. 1995).
