🌊🧀 Understanding Salt Distribution in Milk and Cheese! 🧀🌊 👨🎓 Gaurav Kr Deshwal, Liesbeth van der Meulen and Thom Huppertz from Wageningen University & Research and University College Cork Did you know that the salt fractions in milk play a crucial role in its stability and quality? These salts, which include important cations like calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sodium (Na), as well as anions such as phosphate and citrate, exist in both soluble and complex forms. The balance between these forms, particularly between micellar and soluble phases, impacts everything from the texture of cheese to the overall quality of dairy products. Techniques like centrifugation, ultrafiltration, and dialysis are essential for studying how these salts distribute, but they can yield varying results. This complexity is even greater in cheese, where traditional methods may not apply directly. Instead, we often analyze salts in water-soluble extracts. Dive into our latest review to explore the critical methodologies and their implications for the dairy industry! 📚✨ https://lnkd.in/gqDwK3XK #DairyScience #Milk #Cheese #FoodTechnology #SaltDistribution #ResearchInsights
