Cynara cardunculus as a potential source of milk coagulating protease: Effects on physical properties of cow's milk

In the present research study, Cynara cardunculus (wild cardoon) flowers were blended and extracted using different types of buffers (phosphate buffer; citrate buffer and distilled water) for different maceration times. The most reliable, quick and efficient buffer was found to be phosphate (pH = 6....

Description
Summary:In the present research study, Cynara cardunculus (wild cardoon) flowers were blended and extracted using different types of buffers (phosphate buffer; citrate buffer and distilled water) for different maceration times. The most reliable, quick and efficient buffer was found to be phosphate (pH = 6.5) with a 6‐h maceration time, which was used throughout this study. C. cardunculus extract (CE) was found to have high clotting and proteolytic activities. The extracted enzyme was found to be very stable against a wide range of pH values as well as of temperature. The formation of milk gels prepared in the presence of CE with different types of milk was evaluated using dynamic rheology and Turbiscan. The evolution of both elastic (G′) and viscous (G″) moduli was monitored with time. The values of the whole milk enriched with milk powder gels were higher. Coagulum stability was evaluated using Turbiscan. The textural properties and the curd‐firming rate of coagulum were also determined. In conclusion, the prepared CE could be an efficient milk‐clotting agent in the production of dairy products. ‐Cynara cardunculus flowers were extracted using different types of buffers for different maceration times ‐Formation of milk gels prepared in the presence of CE with different types of milk was evaluated using dynamic rheology and Turbiscan ‐ Textural properties and the curd‐firming rate of coagulum were determined
