Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advancements in dairy technology and changing consumer preferences, e.g., reinforcing health-promoting properties, antioxidative properties, and reducing calorific value, have become popular. Therefore, this Special Issue on “New Frontiers in Dairy Technology and Hydrocolloids” will expand our knowledge of the abovementioned topic and will be mainly focused on: Innovations in the production of all types of dairy products, e.g., cheese, processed cheese, cheese sauces, yoghurts, dairy desserts; recent advances in milk processing technology and development of new dairy products, fortified and reformulated dairy products with health-promoting properties (reduction of fat, lactose and salt levels); quality control (physicochemical, rheological, biochemical, enzymatic, safety microbiological, sensory and stability properties of dairy products), consumer preferences, and acceptance and market research; validation of new technologies and the effects of various additives and processing variables in systems containing dairy ingredients; functional properties of milk proteins and hydrocolloids; and the use of thermal and non-thermal treatment for milk and dairy product preservation.

The idea was to develop powders for fresh/hard cheese or quark production comprising milk proteins in optimal composition and functional properties for manufacturing each of those cheese types. The aim was to avoid whey protein drainage by their prior removal or by their heat-induced structural integration in the curd. The pre-renneted powders already contain additives such as starter cultures and calcium chloride to instantaneously form homogeneous curds upon reconstitution. The impact of the casein/whey protein ratio (86:14 by ultrafiltration and 98:2 by microfiltration) and upfront heat treatment (80 °C/30 min) on the gelling behavior of reconstituted rennet gels and on the survival rate of integrated Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei F19 was investigated. The assessment criteria for the rennet gelation were curd firming rate, gel strength, and whey drainage. Furthermore, the amount of integrated whey proteins and the resulting cheese yield were evaluated. It could be shown that heating had a positive effect on the viable cell count of the bacteria after spray drying and on the gelation behavior of the reconstituted ultrafiltration concentrates. The curd firming rate and the gel strength could be increased to higher values than the reconstituted microfiltration concentrate at 25% total solids. Full article

This study aimed to evaluate different fibers (acacia, bamboo, citrus or potato) on texture, rheological properties, color, density, and water activity of processed cheese sauces (PCS) based on acid casein, WPC80 and anhydrous milk fat or organic coconut oil. The interaction between the type of oil/fat, the fiber type and the fiber content was significant regarding almost all parameters studied. The computer vision system (CVS) showed that color changes of sauces could be noticeable by consumers. The main factor influencing the change in all products’ hardness was not fat/oil, but added fibers and their concentrations. The highest increase in hardness, adhesiveness and viscosity was observed in products with potato fiber. The value of storage modulus (G′) was higher than the loss modulus (G″) and tan (δ) < 1 for all samples. Different fibers and their amounts did not influence the water activity of cheese sauces obtained with organic coconut oil (OCO) or anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Full article
