In this study, at the onset of gelation ofMilk72more than 95% of
- and -caseins were hydrolysed. Previous studies (Kelly & Foley,
1997; Kohlmann et al., 1991; Newstead et al., 2006) showed that
almost complete proteolysis of -casein was reached before a gel
was formed, while -casein on the other hand was either still
present to some extent (Kelly & Foley, 1997) or almost completely
hydrolysed (Kohlmann et al., 1991).
