A study of factors contributing to gel formation and to syneresis of gels with particular reference to rennet casein systems : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Technology
(Massey University, 1969)
An "artificial milk" system, prepared under controlled conditions, was developed. This was used for the study of the initial phase of rennet action on casein which results in gel formation. It was also used for a study of ...
The biosynthesis of methyl ketones with special reference to their presence in Cheddar cheese : being a thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Massey University of Manawatu
(Massey University, 1964)
The similarity of the pattern of methyl ketones obtained from the steam distillates at atmospheric pressure of cheeses made under controlled aseptic conditions, despite the wide differences in bacterial flora, led to the ...
