Abstract
The use of clay materials in dairy technology requires a multidisciplinary approach that allows correlating clay efficiency in the targeted application to its interactions with milk components. For profitability reasons, natural clays and clay minerals can be used as low-cost and harmless food-compatible materials for improving key processes such as fermentation and coagulation. Under chemical stability conditions, clay materials can act as adsorbents, since anionic clay minerals such as hydrotalcite already showed effectiveness in the continuous removal of lactic acid via in situ anion exchange during fermentation and ex situ regeneration by ozone. Raw and modified bentonites and smectites have also been used as adsorbents in aflatoxin retention and as acidic species in milk acidification and coagulation. Aflatoxins and organophilic milk components, particularly non-charged caseins around their isoelectric points, are expected to display high affinity towards high silica regions on the clay surface. Here, clay interactions with milk components are key factors that govern adsorption and surface physicochemical processes. Knowledge about these interactions and changes in clay behavior according to the pH and chemical composition of the liquid media and, more importantly, clay chemical stability is an essential requirement for understanding process improvements in dairy technology, both upstream and downstream of milk production. The present paper provides a comprehensive review with deep analysis and synthesis of the main findings of studies in this area. This may be greatly useful for mastering milk processing efficiency and envisaging new prospects in dairy technology.

Fabrication of UF-white cheese: Obtaining a different proteolysis rate, texture, and flavor via using combinations of mesophilic starter culture and Lactobacillus helveticus. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:328-339.

Abstract
The effect of using mesophilic starter culture (Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris) and Lactobacillus helveticus (L. helveticus) at different ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100) on the quality properties of UF-white cheese during 90 days of ripening was studied. The results revealed that an increase in L. helveticus ratio caused a significant decrease in the pH and total protein contents of the cheeses (p < .05). No significant changes were observed in the dry matter content of the cheeses (p > .05). The use of higher ratios of L. helveticus led to a noticeable increase in proteolysis and lipolysis indices in the cheeses (p < .05). The cheese produced with higher ratios of L. helveticus had less storage (G') and loss (G″) moduli compared to other cheeses. The more open structure was seen in the cheeses produced using higher ratios of L. helveticus. Regarding sensory properties, lower scores of body and texture, and higher scores of odor and flavor were assigned to the cheeses produced using higher ratios of L. helveticus. In conclusion, the use of combinations of mesophilic starter culture and L. helveticus at specific ratios (75:25 and 25:75) led to improve quality characteristics of UF-white cheese.

Abstract
Rennet, an aspartate protease found in the stomach of unweaned calves, effectively cuts the peptide bond between Phe105-Met106 in κ-casein, hydrolyzing the casein micelles to coagulate the milk and is a crucial additive in cheese production. Rennet is one of the most used enzymes of animal origin in cheese making. However, using rennet al.one is insufficient to meet the increasing demand for cheese production worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that plant rennet can be an alternative to bovine rennet and exhibit a good renneting effect. Therefore, it is crucial and urgent to find a reliable plant rennet. Based on our team's research on rennet enzymes of plant origin, such as from Dregea sinensis Hemsl. and Moringa oleifer Lam., for more than ten years, this paper reviews the relevant literature on rennet sources, isolation, identification, rennet mechanism, functional active peptide screening, and application in cheese production. In addition, it proposes the various techniques for targeted isolation and identification of rennet and efficient screening of functionally active peptides, which show excellent prospects for development.

Food Res Int 2023; 172:113202. [PMID: 37689949 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Milk-clotting enzyme (MCE) is a crucial active agent in cheese making. It is necessary to find traditional MCE substitutes due to the limited production of traditional MCE (e.g., calf rennet) and increased cheese consumption. Bacillus megaterium strain LY114 with good milk-clotting activity (MCA) (448 SU/mL) and a high MCA/proteolytic activity (PA) ratio (6.0) was isolated and identified from agricultural soil in Laiyang (Shandong, China) through 16S rRNA sequencing of 45 strains. The Bacillus megaterium LY114 MCE had a remarkable specific activity (7532 SU/mg) and displayed a 4.83-fold purification yield with 34.17% recovery through ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow. The purified LY114 MCE was a metalloprotease with a molecular weight of 30 kDa. LY114 MCE was stable at pH 5.0-7.0 and temperature <40 °C. The highest MCA appeared at a substrate pH of 5.5 with 30 mM CaCl2. The Michaelis constant (Km) and maximal velocity (Vm) for casein were 0.31 g/L and 14.16 μmol/min, respectively. LY114 MCE preferred to hydrolyze α-casein (α-CN) rather than β-casein (β-CN) and had unique α-CN, β-CN and κ-casein (κ-CN) cleavage sites. LY114 MCE hydrolyzed casein to generate significantly different peptides compared with calf rennet and fungal MCE as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. Chemical index analysis and sensory evaluation confirmed the usefulness of LY114 MCE in cheese making. LY114 MCE had the potential to be used in dairy processing and enriched traditional MCE substitutes.

The Impact of Divergent Algal Hydrocolloids Addition on the Physicochemical, Viscoelastic, Textural, and Organoleptic Properties of Cream Cheese Products. Foods 2023; 12:foods12081602. [PMID: 37107398 PMCID: PMC10137602 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the addition of different algal hydrocolloids (κ-carrageenan, ι-carrageenan, furcellaran, and sodium alginate) at three different concentrations (0.50, 0.75, and 1.00% w/w) on the physicochemical, viscoelastic, textural, and organoleptic properties of model cream cheese (CC) samples. On the whole, the highest viscoelastic moduli and hardness values of the CC samples were reported when κ-carrageenan was used. Furthermore, increasing the concentrations of the tested hydrocolloids led to increases in the viscoelastic moduli and hardness values of CC. Recommendations for softer-consistency CC production include the application of κ-carrageenan at a concentration of 0.50-0.75% (w/w) or the use of furcellaran and sodium alginate at a concentration of 1.00% (w/w). For the production of CC with a more rigid consistency, it is recommended to apply κ-carrageenan at a concentration higher than 0.75% (w/w).

Abstract
Milk coagulants prepared by maceration of flowers harvested from both spontaneous and cultivated Onopordum tauricum Willd. and a commercially available coagulant obtained from Cynara cardunculus L. (control) were assayed for small-scale manufacturing of Caciofiore, an Italian specialty raw ewe's milk cheese produced in a family run dairy farm located in the Marche region (Central Italy). The microbiota of the three thistle-based milk coagulants and their effect on the microbial dynamics of raw milk cheeses during fermentation and maturation (from day 0 up until day 60) were investigated through a combined approach based on viable counting and Illumina DNA sequencing. In both the control and experimental cheeses, despite the slight differences emerged depending on the coagulant used, Lactococcus lactis and Debaryomyces hansenii were the prevalent species among bacteria and fungi, respectively. Moreover, raw ewe's milk was the main factor affecting the evolution of both the bacterial and fungal microbiota in all cheeses. The overall similarities between control and experimental cheeses herein analyzed supports the exploitation of Onopordum tauricum Willd. as an alternative milk coagulating agent for production of Caciofiore and, more in general, raw ewe's milk cheeses.

Abstract
AbstractThe milk-clotting enzyme (MCE) is a crucial ingredient in cheese manufacture. Due to the limits of traditional MCE, finding viable substitute is a pressing issue. This study aims to isolate and identify a wild strain with high milk-clotting activity (MCA) and low proteolytic activity (PA) and optimize the fermentation conditions for MCE production. A strain of Bacillus velezensis DB219 with high MCA/PA value (9.2) was isolated from dairy soil (Wuchang, Heilongjiang, China) and identified through 16S rRNA from 40 strains. The optimal wheat bran, carbon, nitrogen, inoculum size, volume and initial pH were 60 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, 5%, 40 mL and 6.15, respectively for improving DB219 MCE production through single factor experiment. The wheat bran concentration, corn steep liquor concentration and volume were the most critical factor and their changed range was determined through Plackett–Burman design and the steepest ascent/descent experiments. The response surface analysis experiment of three factors and three levels was conducted by Box–Behnken design. The theoretical optimal fermentation conditions for DB219 MCE were as follows: wheat bran concentration 60.14 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, inoculum size 5%, volume 40.08 mL and initial pH 6.15. DB219 MCE achieved the maximal MCA (3164.84 SU/mL) that was 101.9% of the predicted value (3104.49 SU/mL) and 4.3-fold higher than the control.

Abstract
There is little information on the milk coagulation process by plant proteases combined with chymosins. This work is aimed at studying the capability of protease enclosed in the ripe fruits of Solanum elaeagnifolium (commonly named trompillo) to form milk gels by itself and in combination with chymosin. For this purpose, proteases were partially purified from trompillo fruits. These proteases had a molecular weight of ~60 kDa, and results suggest cucumisin-like serine proteases, though further studies are needed to confirm this observation. Unlike chymosins, trompillo proteases had high proteolytic activity (PA = 50.23 UTyr mg protein-1) and low milk-clotting activity (MCA = 3658.86 SU mL-1). Consequently, the ratio of MCA/PA was lower in trompillo proteases (6.83) than in chymosins (187 to 223). Our result also showed that milk gels formed with trompillo proteases were softer (7.03 mPa s) and had a higher release of whey (31.08%) than the milk gels clotted with chymosin (~10 mPa s and ~4% of syneresis). However, the combination of trompillo proteases with chymosin sped up the gelling process (21 min), improved the firmness of milk gels (12 mPa s), and decreased the whey release from milk curds (3.41%). Therefore, trompillo proteases could be combined with chymosin to improve the cheese yield and change certain cheese features.

Abstract
In the present study, a kiwifruit aqueous extract was developed and used as a coagulant enzyme in cheesemaking. In detail, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to investigate the presence of actinidin, the kiwifruit enzyme involved in κ-casein hydrolysis, in different tissues (pulp, peel, and whole fruit) of ripe and unripe kiwifruits. Data revealed the presence of the enzyme both in the peel and in the pulp of the fruit. Although the aqueous extract obtained from the kiwifruit peel was able to hydrolyze semi-skimmed milk, it did not break down κ-casein. The aqueous extract obtained from the pulp showed a hydrolytic activity toward both κ-casein and semi-skimmed milk. The values for milk-clotting and proteolytic activity of the kiwifruit pulp extract were evaluated at different temperatures and pH parameters in order to obtain a high value of the MCA/PA ratio; we found that a temperature of 40 °C in combination with a pH value of 5.5 allowed us to obtain the best performance. In addition, the data revealed a higher hydrolytic activity of the enzymatic preparation from ripe kiwifruits than that from unripe ones, suggesting the use of the extract from pulp of ripe kiwifruits in the laboratory-scale cheesemaking. The data showed that 3% (v/v) of the ripe kiwifruit pulp extract determined a curd yield of 20.27%, comparable to chymosin yield. In conclusion, the extraction procedure for kiwifruit aqueous extract proposed in the present study was shown to be a fast, cheap, chemical-free, and ecofriendly technology as a plant coagulant for cheese manufacturing.

Abstract
The reduced availability and the increasing prices of calf rennet, coupled to the growing global demand of cheese has led, worldwide, to explore alternative clotting enzymes, capable to replace traditional rennet, during the cheesemaking. In addition, religious factors and others related to the vegetarianism of some consumers, have led to alternative rennet substitutes. Nowadays, several plant-derived milk-clotting enzymes are available for cheesemaking technology. Many efforts have also been made to compare their effects on rheological and sensory properties of cheese to those arising from animal rennet. However, vegetable clotting enzymes are still partially suitable for cheesemaking, due to excessive proteolytic activity, which contribute to bitter flavor development. This review provides a literature overview of the most used vegetable clotting enzymes in cheese technology, classified according to their protease class. Finally, clotting and proteolytic activities are discussed in relation to their application on the different cheesemaking products.

Abstract
This study is a brief report on the proteolytic activity of curly kale leaf extract against casein. Casein degradation products and an in silico analysis of the biological activity of the peptides obtained was performed. The efficiency of casein hydrolysis by curly kale extract was determined using SDS-PAGE and by peptide concentration determination. The pattern of the enzymatic activity was determined by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The results showed that α- and β-casein were more resistant to curly kale extract hydrolysis, whereas κ-casein was absent in the protein profile after 8 h of proteolysis, and all casein fractions were completely hydrolyzed after 24 h of incubation. Based on sequence analysis, seven peptides were identified, with molecular mass in the range of 1151-3024 Da. All the peptides were products of β-casein hydrolysis. The identified amino acid sequences were analyzed in BIOPEP, MBPDB, and FeptideDB databases in order to detect the potential activities of the peptides. In silico analysis suggests that the β-casein-derived peptides possess sequences of peptides with ACE inhibitory, antioxidant, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory, antithrombotic, immunomodulatory, and antiamnesic bioactivity. Our study was first to evaluate the possibility of applying curly kale leaf extract to generate biopeptides through β-casein hydrolysis.

[PMID: 34600696 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Milk coagulation is an important step in cheese production, and milk-clotting enzymes (MCEs) play a major role in this process. Calf rennet is the most widely used MCE in the cheese industry. The use of calf rennet substitutes is becoming necessary due to the limited availability of calf rennet and the increase in cheese consumption. The objective of this review is to summarize the latest findings on calf rennet substitutes (animal MCEs, plant-derived MCEs, recombinant MCEs and microbial MCEs) and their application in cheese production. Special emphasis has been placed on aspects of the effects of these substitutes on hydrolysis, functional peptides, cheese variety and cheese yield. The advantages and disadvantages of different calf rennet substitutes are discussed, in which microbial MCEs have the advantages of less expensive production, greater biochemical diversity, easier genetic modification, etc. In particular, some of these MCEs have suitable characteristics for cheese production and are considered to be the most potential calf rennet substitutes. Moreover, challenges and future perspectives are presented to provide inspiration for the development of excellent calf rennet substitutes.
