Abstract

Efficient utilization of a whey protein for the production of cheese, which results from the cheese production as a by-product. The whey is concentrated by an ultrafiltration and added to the concentrated milk. A milk coagulating enzyme and a lactic acid bacteria starter were added to the resultant mixture together with warm or hot water with stirring to instantaneously elevate the temperature of the reaction mixture to coagulate and give the cheese curd.
