In this study, the physicochemical
characteristics (color, odor, pH value, acidity and milk composition)of goat
milk during lactations, theircoagulation characteristics by chymosin(hardness,
cohesiveness and elasticity) andwater holding capacities were investigated to
provide the suitable materials for the development of goat milk products. The
results showed that the physicochemical characteristics of goat milk during
lactations and theircoagulation characteristics varied. With the prolongation
of lactation, the color of goat milk gradually changed from milky yellow to
milky white, and the odor of goat faded, but pH values graduallyrised.The acidity,
density, its main chemical components, the coagulation characteristics andwater
holding capacities all declined. By comprehensive analysis, goat milk at 120 -
150 d lactation were the better materials for the production of cream, while
the milk at 4 -150 d lactation would be suitable for the production of set
yogurt and cheese. Goat milk at 7 - 240 d lactation could be used for the
production of liquid milk or the milk powder, but the standardization process
should be needed.
