The effects of sucrose on the heat stability of goat
milk and cow milk are shown in Figure 7. This shows that
there is a special relationship between the concentration of
sucrose and the heat stability of milk. The heat stability of
milk increased as the sucrose concentration increased from
10% to 30%, but decreased at sucrose concentrations above
30%. The differences between goat milk and cow milk were also
significant at sucrose concentrations of 10% and 30% (p < 0.05)
and very significant at a concentration of 20% (p < 0.01).
Therefore, the best concentration for adding sucrose to
increase the heat stability of goat and cow milk was 30%.
