A Phenomenological Model of Milk Coagulation

Abstract
A model of additional stabilization for the milk colloid system by means of the micelle electric charge arising owing to dissociation of micellar calcium caseinate is offered. The model allows comprehending the unique role of calcium in milk clotting and describing some features of coagulation temperature dependence, as well as explaining the nature of rennet, acid, heat-acid and heat-calcium coagulation within uniform concepts.
Keywords
milk coagulation, sticky hard spheres, calcium caseinate, colloid calcium phosphate, ionized calcium.
