Abstract

Buffaloes milk containing 10 and 208 mastitic milk was converted into white cheese at 10% the cheese was poor in quality but could be accepted for consumption. The higher percentage of mastitic milk not only lengthened the coagulation time at also gave a soft open cheese with mechanical holes and rubbery breakable texture. A salty and bitter flavour could be distinguished during and after tasting. The moisture content was higher and the total solids was lower than those of cheese made from normal milk.
