The gel was soft and fragile. Along with this gel layer, floating gel particles appeared in Milk72 after 11
weeks storage. After 16 weeks storage, Milk72 was completely gelled and syneresis could be observed. The gel formation and appearance was similar to the description of a plasmin induced gel found in UHT milk by Kelly and Foley (1997). In contrast to other similar studies (Newstead et al., 2006; Topçu et al., 2006), Milk72
showed no sedimentation. This difference may arise from the shorter storage time needed for gelation in this study. Milk72
already gelled after 80 d of storage, while Newstead et al. (2006)and Topçu et al. (2006) reported gelation after 150-180 day of storage.
