Effect of Somatotropin hormone treatment of Egyptian buffaloes on manufacturing properties and quality of soft cheese
Abstract: Cheese was made from individual milk samples taken from six buffaloes on day 50 post-partum just before the start of their treatment with bovine somatotro pin bst (control) and on day 70 after they received two bi-weekly injections of bst to study the effect of bst treatment on milk composition and manufacturing properties.
chemical composition and organoleptic properties of soft cheese.
Cheese samples were stored at 4°C for 4 weeks and analyzed as fresh and after 4 week storage period. Results indicated that the use of bst did not affect milk composition, or its manufacturing properties in terms of rennet coagulation time (RCT), curdling time (CT), cheese yield and fat loss in whey. Also the use of bst did not influence cheese composition and did not interfere with ripening indices of the manufactured soft cheese. Furthermore, the results showed that the use of milk from buffaloes supplemented with bst did not nip-up the organoleptic properties of soft cheese.
