Abstract
Renneting is an enzymatic process that turns milk into curd which is then transformed into cheese. Rennet-induced coagulation of caseins (CNs) is the critical step during this process and the key is the primary hydrolysis of κ-CN's Phe105-Met106 bond by chymosin. This article comprehensively reviews the existing data on the extent/degree of κ-CN hydrolysis during renneting of bovine milk and critically evaluates its determination methods. The data show that under normal cheese-making conditions, milk gelation occurs at a degree of κ-CN hydrolysis <80%, which varies due to several factors including analytical and estimation approaches. The common approach involves isolating the macropeptides released, by precipitating whey proteins and residual CN in 1%-12% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), then assuming that the maximum amount obtained is 100% κ-CN hydrolysis. The drawback is that the estimated degree of κ-CN hydrolysis may be higher than the actual value as TCA partially precipitates the macropeptide fractions. Moreover, macropeptide isolation seems unnecessary based on current advances in chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. The present work proposes a simple mass balance-based approach that will provide accurate estimates in future studies. The accuracy of measuring the degree of κ-CN hydrolysis has implications on the precision of the data in relation to its partitioning (% distribution between the curd and whey) which is essential for improving whey quality.

Abstract
Gelation is an important functional property of milk that enables the manufacture of various dairy products. This study investigated the acid (with glucono-δ-lactone) and rennet gelation properties of differently processed sheep, goat, and cow milks using small-amplitude oscillatory rheological tests. The impacts of ruminant species, milk processing (homogenization and heat treatments), seasonality, and their interactions were studied. Acid gelation properties were improved (higher gelation pH, shorter gelation time, and higher storage modulus (G') by intense heat treatment (95°C for 5 min) to comparable extents for sheep and cow milks, both better than those for goat milk. Goat milk produced weak acid gels with low G' (<100 Pa) despite improvements induced by heat treatments. Seasonality had a marked impact on the acid gelation properties of sheep milk. The acid gels of late-season sheep milk had a lower gelation pH, no maximum in tan δ following gel formation, and 70% lower G' values than those from other seasons. We propose the potential key role of a critical acid gelation pH that induces structural rearrangements in determining the viscoelastic properties of the final gels. For rennet-induced gelation, compared with cow milk, the processing treatments of the goat and sheep milks had much smaller impacts on their gelation properties. Intense heat treatment (95°C for 5 min) prolonged the rennet gelation time of homogenized cow milk by 8.6 min (74% increase) and reduced the G' of the rennet gels by 81 Pa (85% decrease). For sheep and goat milks, the same treatment altered the rennet gelation time by only less than 3 min and the G' of the rennet gels by less than 14 Pa. This difference may have been caused by the different physicochemical properties of the milks, such as differences in their colloidal stability, proportion of serum-phase caseins, and ionic calcium concentration. The seasonal variations in the gelation properties (both acid and rennet induced) of goat milk could be explained by the minor variation in its protein and fat contents. This study provides new perspectives and understandings of milk gelation by demonstrating the interactive effects among ruminant species, processing, and seasonality.

Abstract
In turbid biogenic liquid material, like blood or milk, quantitative optical analysis is often strongly hindered by multiple light scattering resulting from cells, particles, or droplets. Here, optical attenuation is caused by losses due to absorption as well as scattering of light. Fiber-based Photon Density Wave (PDW) spectroscopy is a very promising method for the precise measurement of the optical properties of such materials. They are expressed as absorption and reduced scattering coefficients (μ a and μ s', respectively) and are linked to the chemical composition and physical properties of the sample. As a process analytical technology, PDW spectroscopy can sense chemical and/or physical processes within such turbid biogenic liquids, providing new scientific insight and process understanding. Here, for the first time, several bioprocesses are analyzed by PDW spectroscopy and the resulting optical coefficients are discussed with respect to established mechanistic models of the chosen processes. As model systems, enzymatic casein coagulation in milk, temperature-induced starch hydrolysis in beer mash, and oxy- as well as deoxygenation of human donor blood were investigated by PDW spectroscopy. The findings indicate that also for very complex biomaterials (i.e., not well-defined model materials like monodisperse polymer dispersions), obtained optical coefficients allow for the assessment of a structure/process relationship and thus for a new analytical access to biogenic liquid material. This is of special relevance as PDW spectroscopy data are obtained without any dilution or calibration, as often found in conventional spectroscopic approaches.

Abstract
Insoluble calcium phosphate particles, such as hydroxyapatite (HA), are often used in calcium-fortified milks as they are considered to be chemically unreactive. However, this study showed that there was an interaction between the casein micelles in milk and HA particles. The caseins in milk were shown to bind to the HA particles, with the relative proportions of bound β-casein, αS-casein, and κ-casein different from the proportions of the individual caseins present in milk. Transmission electron microscopy showed no evidence of intact casein micelles on the surface of the HA particles, which suggested that the casein micelles dissociated either before or during binding. The HA particles behaved as ion chelators, with the ability to bind the ions contained in the milk serum phase. Consequently, the depletion of the serum minerals disrupted the milk mineral equilibrium, resulting in dissociation of the casein micelles in milk.
