A higher volume fraction
of added microparticles may have increased the probability of
particle interactions in the milk during heating. As a result, an
enhanced viscosity and mechanical properties of the stirred gels
with 5.0% (w/w) total protein was achieved. This suggests that
higher percentages of microparticulated protein are necessary to
result in an effective fat replacement, and thus provide a texture
similar to the full fat reference yoghurt (N00).
