The
addition of GM decreased gel firmness and syneresis, especially
when the ratio CM:GM was higher than 1:1. Regarding these
parameters, the important role played by the different nature of
caprine and bovine caseins in aggregation behaviour, whey
retention capacity and the gel mechanical properties has been
pointed out. The results were explained by the final gel microstructure,
and were consistent with the sensory evaluation of the
samples. The preferred set-type yoghurt was obtained by mixing
GM and CM in the same ratio.
