Standard method for the determination of the activity of milk coagulants is the rotating bottle method, where clotting time is defined as the time when visually observable flocculation starts. Aim of this study was to verify whether it is possible to determine milk clotting time by rotational viscometry. Using three different coagulants and reconstituted milk of different pH and temperature, flocculation time and viscosity in steady shear was determined, and milk gelation was monitored by small amplitude oscillating shear rheometry. The results show that, independent of pH and temperature, milk clotting time is related to an apparent viscosity of 7·24±0·45 mPa.s, indicating that rotational viscometry can be used for the screening of flocculation time with an accuracy of approximately 6%.

SummaryThe milk clotting activity of chymosin in combined rennets was determined as the difference between the total and residual activity after specific inhibition of chymosin with the purified immunoglobulin fraction of chymosin antiserum. The milk clotting activity of bovine pepsin A was assessed in a similar manner. In bovine rennets milk clotting activity of chymosin was measured directly after immunochemical inactivation of bovine pepsin A. Any method may be used for the determination of milk clotting activity. High correlation was found between the proposed method, which is simple and rapid to perform, and Chromatographic assay.

To get the potential of lalcat acid bacteria isolate to produce Milk Clotting Enzyme (MCE), it is necessary to screen milk clotting activity both quantitatively and qualitatively. Through qualitative observation, the characteristics of the curd resulting from enzyme activity can be obtained. MCE is a protease that has the characteristics of milking. Based on the results of this observational research, the curd characteristic produced can be used as a benchmark to determine the length of time of fermentation and optimization of the determination of ammonium sulfate precipitation concentration. Isolate BAL shows the results of a compact curd at a fermentation time of 25 hours at 37 ℃ and the optimization results of the deposition of ammonium sulfate which shows the characteristics of a compact curd by 45% ammonium sulfate.
