ABSTRACT
Cheese was produced with 0.002m3 of goat milk using five local coagulants with different
proportions: Alum coagulated cheese (ALC 26.6g), Tamarind coagulated cheese (TAC 500.0g),
Lime coagulated cheese (LIC 630.0g), Moringa Seed cake extract coagulated cheese (MOC
133.0g) and Lemon coagulated cheese (LEC 510.0g). The goat milk was pasteurized,
coagulated, stirred, cooled, drained, pressed, mixed, pressed, curdled, cut, and packaged. The
products were evaluated for sensory qualities of taste, color, flavor, aroma and overall
acceptability by ten (10) panelist using 9 point hedonic scale. The scores of the panelist were
subjected to statistical analysis of variance ANOVA. The result of sensory analysis indicated that
there was no significant difference in the taste, color, aroma, texture and overall acceptability of
the cheese samples at 5% level of significance.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cheese is a solid food prepared from pressed curd of milk, often seasoned and aged (Houghton,
2011). It is one of the numerous products from the processing of milk Cheese is a food derived
from milk that is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the
milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cow, buffalo,
goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified, and adding the enzyme rennet
causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have
molds on the rind or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature Fankhauser, (2007).
Worldwide, cheese is a major agricultural product. According to the Food and Agricultural
Organization of the United Nations, over 20 million metric tons of cheese were produced
worldwide in 2011. This is about three kilograms for each person on Earth.
Cheese is a preserved form of milk made by the coagulation, pressing and salting of the milk
protein casein. It is popular for its versatility, longevity, portability and nutritional values. It is a
stable food with a longer shelf life than milk and affordable food for budget. There are numerous
styles, shapes, tastes and textures cheese, all developed in different regions, climates and cultures
of the world (Brasch, 2014).
The nutritional value of cheese varies widely. Cottage cheese may consist of 4% fat and 11%
protein; some whey cheeses 15% fat and 11% protein, and some triple-crème cheeses 36% fat
and 7% protein. In general, cheese supplies a great deal of calcium, protein, phosphorus and fat.
( CNN, 2004).
Since the consumption of local cheese is very popular among children and adult of different
ethnic, cultural and religious background, there is need for detailed study on the most suitable
curdling agent that will yield an aesthetic acceptable sensory quality for the promotion of our
indigenous product. This project will examine the use of local coagulants such as alum, lemon,
lime, tamarind and Moringa seed cake extract in the production of cheese.
Aim and Objectives
The aim and objectives of this project are:
To produce cheese from goat milk using different coagulating agent viz. Lime, Lemon, Alum,
Tamarind and Moringa Seeds
To evaluate the sensory qualities of the cheese products
CHAPTER TWO
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Historical Background of Cheese
Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. There is no conclusive
evidence where cheese making was originated, either in Europe, central Asia or the Middle East,
but the practice had spread within Europe prior to roman times and according to pling the elder,
had become a sophisticated enterprise by the time the Roman Empire came into being
(subbaraman. N, 2012).
The earliest evidence of cheese making in the archeological record dates back to 5,500 BCE, in
what is now kujawy, Poland where strainers with milk fat molecules have been found. (Simons,
FJ 1971) earliest proposed dates for the origin of cheese making range from around 8000 BCE,
when sheep were first domesticated. Since animal skins and inflated internal organs have, since
ancient times, provided storage vessels for a range of food stuffs, it is probable that the process
of cheese making was discovered accidentally by storing milk in a container made from the
stomach of an animal, resulting in the milk being turned to curd and whey by the rennet from the
stomach. There is a legend trader with variations about the discovery of cheese by an Arab who
used this method of storing milk. (Ridge well J 1968) cheese making may have begun
independently for this by the pressing and salting of curdled milk to preserve it. Observation that
the effect of making cheese in an animal stomach gave more solid and better textured curds may
have led to the deliberate addition of rennet.
Early archeological evidence of Egyptian cheese has been found in Egyptian tomb murals, dating
to about 2000 BCE, (Reich V 2002) the earliest cheese were likely to have been quite sour and
salty, similar in texture to rustic cottage cheese or feta, a crumby, flavourful Greek cheese.
Cheese produce in Europe, where climate are cooler than the Middle East, required less salt for
preservation. With less salt and acidity, the cheese became a suitable environment for useful
microbes and molds, giving aged cheese their respective flavours. The earliest ever discovered
preserved cheese was found in the Taklimakan desert in north western china and it dates back as
early as 1615BCE, (Carmona, S 2007) ancient Greek mythology credited Aristarchus with the
discovery of cheese. Homer’s Odyssey (8th century BCE) describes the Cyclops making and
storing sheep’s and goat’s milk cheese. (From Samuel’s butler translation). By roman times,
cheese was an everyday food and cheese making a mature art. Collumela’s De Re Rustica (circa
65 CE) details a cheese making process involving rennet coagulation, pressing of the curd,
salting and aging pliny’s natural history (77CE) describe the diversity of cheese enjoyed by
Romans of the early empire He stated that the best cheese came from the villages near Nimes,
but did not keep long and had to be eaten fresh. Cheese of the Alps and Apennines were as
remarkable for their variety then as now. A liqurian cheese was noted for being made mostly
from sheep’s milk, and some cheeses produced nearby were stated to weigh as much as a
thousand pounds each. Goat’s milk cheese was a recent taste in Rome, improved over the
“medicinal taste” of Gaul’s similar cheese by smoking of cheese from overseas; pling preferred
those of Bithynia in Asia Minor.
As Romanized populations encountered unfamiliar newly settled neighbors, bringing their own
cheese-making traditions, their own flocks and their own unrelated words for cheese, cheeses in
Europe diversified further, with various locals developing their own distinctive traditions and
products. As long distance trade collapsed, only traveler would encounter unfamiliar cheeses.
Charlemagne’s first encounter with a white cheese that had an inedible rind forms one of the
constructed anecdotes of Noker’s life of the Emperor.
The British cheese board claims that Britain has approximately 700 distinct local cheeses.
(Dumuzi, N, 1972).
France and Italy have perhaps 400 each. (A French proverb holds there is a different French
cheese for everyday of the year. Still, the advancement of the cheeses art in Europe was slow
during the centuries after Rome’s fall. Many cheeses today were first recorded in the late middle
ages or after-cheese like cheddar around 1,500 parmesan in 1597, Gouda in 1697, and
camembert in 1791 (history of cheese accessed).
In 1546, the proverbs of John Heywood claimed that “the moon is made of a green cheese “
(Greene may refer not to the colour as many now think, but to being now or unaged (blister
1990) variation on this sentiment were long repeated and NASA exploited this myth for an April
fools day 5,000f announcement in 2006 (Samuel butler’s translation) until its modern spread
along with European culture, cheese was nearly unheard often in east Asia cultures in the pre-
Columbian America and only had limited used in sub- Mediterranean Africa, mainly being
widespread and popular only in Europe, the middle East, the Indian subcontinent and area
influenced by those cultures. But with American culture and food, cheese has gradually become
known and increasingly popular worldwide, through still rarely considered as a part of local
ethnics cuisines outside Europe, the middle east, the Indian subcontinent, and the Americans.
The first factory for the industrial production of cheese opened in Switzerland in 1815, but large-
scale production first found real success in the United States. Credit usually goes to Jesse
Williams, a diary farmer from Rome, New York, who in 1851 started making cheese in an
assembly line fashion using the milk from neighboring farms. Within decades hundreds of such
diary association existed.
The 1860’s saw the beginnings of mass-produced rennet, and by the turn of the century scientists
were producing pure microbial cultures. Before then, bacteria in cheese making had come from
the environment or from recycling an earlier batch’s whey, the pure culture meant a more
standardized cheese could be produced (natural history). Factory made cheese over took
traditional cheese making in the world war II era, and factories have been the source of most
cheese in America and Europe ever since.
2.2 Types of Cheese
There are several types of cheese which are grouped or classified according to criteria such as
length of aging, texture, methods of making fat content, animal milk, country or region of origin
e. t. c. the method most commonly and traditionally used is based on moisture content which is
then further narrowed down by fat content and curing or ripening methods (Patrick< F 2000)
classification of the criteria may either be use singly or in combination (Barbara, cheese types)
but with no single method being universally used. (E 1981) the combination of types produces
around 500 different varieties recognized by the international diary federation (Patrick, F,
S,1999)over 400 identified by Walter and Hargrove, over 500 by Burk Halter, and over 1,000 by
Sandine and Elliker (moose milk, 2004) some attempt have been made to rationalize the
classification of cheese, a scheme was proposed by Peter Walstra that uses the primary and
secondary starter combined with moisture content, and walter and harggrove suggested
classifying by production methods. This last scheme results in 18 types which are then further
grouped moisture content (Patrick, 1999).
2.2.1 Fresh, Whey and Stretched Curd Cheeses
The main factor in categorizing these cheeses is age. Fresh cheeses without additional
preservatives can spoil in a matter of days. For these simplest cheeses milk is curdled and
drained, with little other processing. Examples includes cottage cheese, cream cheese, curd
cheese, farmer cheese, casformageblanc, queso fresco, paneer and fresh goat’s milk chevre. Such
cheeses are soft and spread able, with a mild flavour.
Whey cheeses are fresh cheeses made from whey, which would otherwise be discarded, in the
process of producing other cheeses. Corsican brocciu, Italian ricotta, Romanian urda, Greek
mizithra, Cypriot anari cheese and Norwegian geitost are examples brocciu is mostly eaten fresh,
and is as such a major ingredient in Corsican cuisine, but it can also be found in an aged form.
Traditional pasta filata cheeses such as mozzarella also fall in the fresh cheese category. Fresh
curds are stretched and kneaded in hot water to form a ball of mozzarella, which I southern Italy
is usually eaten within a few hours of being made store in brine, it can easily be shipped, and it is
known worldwide for its use on pizza.
Categorizing cheeses by moisture content or firmness is a common but inexact practice. The
lines between “soft”, “semi-soft”, “semi-hard” and “hard” are arbitrary, and many types of
cheeses are made in softer or firmer variants. The factor that controls cheese hardness is moisture
content, which depends on the pressure with which it is packed into moulds, and upon aging
times.
2.2.2 Soft Cheese
Cream cheeses are not matured-Brie and Neufchatel are soft-type cheeses that mature for more
than a month.
2.2.3 Semi-Soft Cheese
Semi-soft cheeses and the sub-group, Monastery cheeses have ahigh moisture content and tend
to be mild-tasting. Some well-known varieties include havarti, munster and port salut.
2.2.4 Medium-Hard Cheeses
Cheeses that range in texture from semi-soft to firm includesswiss-style cheeses such as
Emmental and Guiyere. The same bacteria that give such cheeses their eyes also contribute to
their aromatic and sharp flavours. Other semi-soft to firm cheeses includes gauda, edam,
jarlsberg, cantal and cascaval. Cheeses of these types are ideal for melting and are often served
on toast for quick snacks or simple meals.
2.2.5 Semi-Hard or Hard Cheese
Harder cheeses have some lower moisture content than softer cheeses. They are generally packed
into moulds under more pressure and aged for a longer time than the soft cheeses. Cheeses that
are classified as semi-hard to hard include the familiar cheddar, originating in the village or
cheddar in England but now used as a generic term for this style of cheese, of which varieties are
imitated worldwide and are marketed by strength or the length of time they have been aged.
Cheddar is one of a family of semi-hard or hard cheeses (including Cheshire and Gloucester),
whose curd is cut, gently heated, piled, and stirred before being pressed into forms. Colby and
MonterryJackare similar but milder cheeses, their curd is rinsed before it is pressed, washing
away some acidity and calcium. A similar curd-washing takes plac when making the Dutch
cheeses Edam and Gauda.
Hard cheeses “grating cheeses” such as parmesan and pecorino Romano are quite firmly packed
into large forms and aged for months or years.
Some cheeses are categorized by the source of the milk used to produce them or by the added fat
content of the milk from which they are produced. While most of the world’s commercially
available cheese is made from cow’s milk, many parts of the world also produce cheese from
goat and sheep. Well known examples include Roquefort (produced in France) and pecorino
Romano (produced in Italy) from ewe’s milk. One farm in Sweden also produces cheese from
moose’s milk (26th June, 2004) sometimes cheeses marketed under the same name are made from
milk of different animal-feta style cheeses, for example are made from sheep’s milk in Greece
and from cow’s milk elsewhere.
Double cream cheeses are soft cheeses of cow’s milk enriched with cream so that they are fat
matter in cheese (FMD) which contains proteins, butter fat, minerals, and lactose (milk sugar)
although in a very small quantity due to lactose fermentation during cheese making is 60-70%or,
in the case of triple creams at least 75%.
There are three main categories of cheeses in which the presence of mold is an important feature:
soft ripened cheeses, washed rind cheeses and blue cheeses.
2.2.6 Soft- Ripened Cheeses
Soft-ripened cheeses begin firm and rather chalky in texture, but are aged from the exterior
inwards by exposing them to mold. The mold may be a velvety bloom of Penicillium candida or
P. carmemberti that forms a flexible white crust and contributes to the smooth, runny, or gooey
texture and more intense flavours of these aged cheeses. Brie and camembert, the most famous
of these cheeses, are made by allowing white mold to grow on the outside of a soft cheese for a
few days or weeks. Goat’s milk cheeses are often treated in a similar manner. Sometime with
white molds (ChevreBoite) and sometime with blue.
2.2.7 Wash-Rind Cheeses
Wash-rind cheeses are soft in character and ripen inwards like those with white molds, however,
they are treated differently. Washed-rind cheese are periodically cured in a solution of saltwater
brine and or mold-bearing agents that may includes beer, wine, brandy and spices, making their
surfaces amendable to a class of bacteria brevi bacterium linens (the reddish-orange “smear
bacteria”) that impact pungent odours and produce a firm, flavourful rind around the cheese.
Wash rind cheeses can be soft (Limburger) semi hard, or hard (Appenzeller). The same bacteria
can also have impact on cheeses that are simply ripened in humid conditions, like camembert.
The process requires regular washings, particularly in the early stages of production, making it
quite labour-intensive compared to other methods of cheese-production.
2.2.8 Smear Ripened Cheeses
Some washed-rind cheeses are also smear ripened with solutions of bacteria or fungi, most
commonly Brevibacterium linens, Debary omyceshansenii, and or Geotrichumcandidum (A.Y.
Tamime 1991) which usually gives them a stronger flavour as the cheese matures (F, Patrick
1999) in some cases, older cheeses are smeared on toung cheeses to transfer the micro
organisms. Many, but not all of these cheeses have a distinctive pinkish or orange coloring of the
exterior. Unlike with other wash-rind cheeses, the washing is done to ensure uniform growth of
desired bacteria or fungi and to prevent the growth of undesired molds (A. Y Tamime, 2006).
Notable examples of smear-ripened cheeses include Munster and port salut.
2.2.9 Blue Cheeses
Blue cheese is created by inoculating a cheese with panicilliumroqueforti or penicilliumdlaucom.
This is done while the cheese is still in the form of loosely pressed curds, and may be further
enhanced by piercing a ripening block of cheese with skewers in an atmosphere which the mold
is prevalent. The mold grows within the cheese as it ages. These cheeses have distinct blue veins,
which gives them their name, and often, assertive flavours. The molds range from pale green to
dark blue, and may be accompanied by white and crusty brown molds. Their texture can be soft
or firm. Some of the most renowned cheeses are of this type, each with its own distinctive
colour, flavour, texture and aroma. They include Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Stillon.
2.2.10 Brined Cheese
Brined or picked cheese is mature in a solution of brine in an airtight or semi-permeable
container. This processes gives the cheeses good stability, inhibiting, bacteria growth even in hot
countries (Wiley B, 2006). Brined cheeses may be soft or hard, varying in moisture content, and
in colour and flavour, according to the type of milk used, though all will be rindless, and
generally taste clean, salt and acidic when fresh, developing some piquancy when aged, and most
will be white (Wiley B, 2006) varieties of brined cheese includes bryndza, feta, halloumi and
sirene (Wiley B, 2006). Brined cheese is the main type of cheese produced and eaten in the
Middle East and Mediterranean areas (A. Y Tamime 1991).
2.2.9 Processed Cheese
Processed cheese is made from traditional cheese and emulsifying salts, often with the addition
of milk, more salt preservatives, and food colouring. Its texture is consistent, and melts
smoothly. It is sold packaged and either pre-sliced or unsliced, in several varieties. Some are sold
as sausage-like logs and chipolatas (mostly in Germany and USA), and some are molded into the
shape of animals and objects. It is also available in aerosol cans in some countries. Some if not
most varieties of processed cheese are made using a combination of real cheese waste (which is
steam cleaned, boiled and further processed) whey powders, and various mixture of vegetable
and or palm oil and fats. Some processed cheese slice contain as little as 2-6%cheese, some have
smoke flavours added.
2.3 Composition of Cheese
Protein, 31.23%, fats, 34.39%, water, 30.17%, mineral matters, 4.31%. Cheese is the solid part of
sweet milk obtained by heating milk and coagulating it by means of rennet or an acid. Rennet is
an infusion made from prepared inner membrane of the fourth stomach of the calf. The curd is
salted and subjected to pressure. Cheese is made from skim milk, milk plus cream, or cream.
Cheese is kept for longer or shorter time, according to the kind, that fermentation or
decomposition may take place. This is called ripening. Some cream cheeses are not allowed to
ripen. Milk from jersey and Guernsey cows yields the largest amount of cheese.
Cheese is very valuable food, being rich in protein it may be used as a substitute for meat. A
pound of cheese is equal in protein to two pounds of beef. Cheese in the raw state is difficult of
digestion. This is somewhat overcome by cooking and adding a small amount of bi-carbonate of
soda. A small piece of rich cheese is often eaten to assist digestion.
The various brands of cheeses take heir names from the places where they are made (Rugg, G
eral 1975). The favorite kinds of milk cheeses are: Gloucester, Cheshire, Cheddar, and
Gorgonzola, milk and cream cheese: stilton and Double Gloucester, cream cheese Brie, Neuf-
chatel, and camembert.

2.5 Nutritional Information of Cheese
Cheese is a concentrated source of many milk’s nutrients considering that it takes about 10
pounds (5quarts) of milk to make 1 pound of while milk cheese, cheese is a nutrient-dense food.
Cheese provides calories, high quality protein, vitamins such as A, Riboflavin (B2) and B2, and
minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and zinc.
The chart below gives the nutritional profile of some popular cheeses in common services. The
nutritional facts label on cheese products also provides nutritional information. For individuals
wishing to lower their calorie or fat intake, variety of low fat cheeses is available. These include:
2.5.1 Low Fat Cheese
3grams (g) or less fat per reference amount (1 or 2 for most cheeses, 4 or for cottage cheese)
2.5.2 Reduced-Fat Cheese
25% less fat per reference amount than its full fat counterpart.
2.5.3 Fat-Free Cheese
Less than 0.5gram (g) of fat per reference amount.

2.6 Cheese Varieties
There are many varieties of cheese, from cheddar to swiss, each with its own standard of identity
specified by the food and drug administration. Cheeses varieties are categorized as natural
cheese/pasteurized process cheese, food and cheese spread.
Natural cheese is made from a starter bacteria, rennet and milk and allowed to solidify. It may or
may not be aged. Each natural cheese varieties is processed, resulting in distinctive flavour and
qualities.
Pasteurized process cheese is prepared by grinding, blending and heating one or more natural
cheeses keeping quality. American cheese is an example of a pasteurized process of cheese
products, usually have good melting properties.
Cheese food is made by blending one or more cheeses without the use of heat plus the addition
of diary products such as cream, milk, skim milk or whey. Cheese food has a higher percentage
of moisture.
Cheese spread is similar to pasteurized process cheese food except that an edible stabilizer and
moisture are added. This allows for smooth spreading at room temperature.
Cheese lover interested in reducing their fat and can still enjoy a variety of lower-fat cheeses.
Cheese varies in fat content depending on the amount of milk-fat used to make the cheese.
Most natural cheeses freeze successfully for six to eight weeks. Hard cheeses freeze better than
soft cheeses. Freezing does change the texture, making semi-soft and hard cheeses more crumbly
and causing soft cheeses to separate slightly, but the flavour and nutritional value remain stable.
Thawed cheese is best used in cooked dishes. Cottage cheese is recommended for freezing as the
curd separates and becomes mushy. For all cheeses use in airtight, moisture-proof container or
cling wrap.
2.7 Storing Cheese
To maintain the original flavour, appearance and quality, unopened cheese products should be
stored in the refrigerator. To minimized moisture loss and odour exchange with other foods after
the cheese is opened, keep it tightly wrapped. Surface mold should be cut off approximately 1/2
inch from the surface, but use the cheese with one week.
Cheese is labeled with a “best if used by” date. This date is not an indication of safety but tells
you how long the product should retain its flavour and quality.

2.8 Health and Nutrition of Cheese
The nutritional value of cheese varies widely. Cottage may consist of 4% fat and 11% protein,
some whey cheeses 15% fat and 11% protein (Anari cheese 2015) and some triple-cream cheeses
36% fat and 7% protein. In general, cheese supplies a great deal of calcium, protein, phosphorus
and fat. A 30-gram (1.102) serving of cheddar cheese contains about 7grams (0.2502) of protein
and 200 milligrams of calcium.
Nutritionally, cheese is essentially concentrated milk. It takes about 200grams (7.102) of milk to
provide that much protein, and 150grams (5.302) to equal the calcium (CNN initiative, 2004).
2.8.1 Heart Disease
A review of the medical literature published in 2012 noted that “cheese consumption is the
leading contributor of SF (saturated fat) in the U.S. diet, and therefore would be predicted to
increase LOLC (LDL cholesterol) and consequently increase the risk of CVD (cardiovascular
disease). “If found that”. Based on results from numerous prospective observational studies and
meta-analysis, most but not all, have shown no association and in some cases an inverse
relationship between the intake of milk fat containing the diary products and the risk of CVD,
CHD (coronary heart disease), and stroke. A limited number of prospective cohort studies found
no significant association between the intake of total-full fat diary products and the risk of CHD
or stroke. Most clinical studies showed that full natural cheese, a highly fermented product,
significantly lower LDL-C compared with butter intake of equal total fat and saturated fat
content. (Huth PJ, 2012).
2.8.2 Dental Health
Some studies claim that cheddar, mozzarella, swiss and American cheeses can help to prevent
tooth decay (specific health benefit of cheese, 2005). Several mechanisms for this protection
have been proposed.
The calcium, protein and phosphorus in cheese may act to protect tooth enamel.Cheese increases
saliva flow, washing away acids and sugars.
2.8.3 Effect on Sleep
A study by the British cheese board in 2005 to determine the effect of cheese upon sleep and
dreaming discovered that, contrary to the idea that cheese commonly causes nightmares, the
effect of cheese upon sleep was positive. The majority of the two hundred people tested over a
fortnight claimed beneficial results from consuming cheeses were tested and the findings were
that the dreams produced were specific to the types of cheese, although the apparent effects were
in some cases described as colourful and vivid, or cryptic, none of the cheese tested were found
to induce nightmares. However, the six cheeses were all British. The results might be entirely
different if a wider range of cheeses were tested (“A sleep study” 2005) cheese contains
tryptophan, an amino acid that has been found to relieve stress and induce sleep (Frank Hauser,
D.B, 2007).
2.8.4 Casein
Like other diary products, cheese contains casein, a substance that, when digested by humans,
breaks down into several chemicals, including casomorphine, an opioid peptide. In the early
1990s, it was hypothesized that autism can be caused or aggravated by opioid peptides. (Reichelt
K L, 1991). Studies supporting these claims have shown significant flaws, so the data are
inadequate to guide autism treatment recommendations (Christison G W, 2006).
2.8.5 Lactose
Cheese is often avoided by those who are lactose intolerant, but ripened cheese like cheddar
contain only about 5% of the lactose found in whole milk, and aged cheeses contain almost none
(A. D. A, 2005). Nevertheless, people with severe lactose intolerance should avoid eating dairy
cheese. As a natural product, the same kind of cheese may contain different amounts of lactose
on different accessions, causing unexpected painful reactions.
2.8.6 Hypertensive Effect
Patient taking anti-depressant drugs in the class of monoamine oxidase inhibitors are at risk from
suffering a reaction to foods containing large amounts of tryamine. Some aged cheeses contain
significant concentrations of tryamine, which cantrigger symptoms mimicking an allergic
reaction, headache, rashes and blood pressure elevations (W. B Saunders 1998).
2.9 History of milk
Humans first learned to regularly consume the milk of other mammals following the
domestication of animals during the Neolithic Revolution or the development of agriculture. This
development occurred independently in several places around the world from as early as 9000–
7000 BC in Southwest Asia to 3500–3000 BC in the Americas (Bellwood, 2005( The most
important dairy animals—cattle, sheep and goats—were first domesticated in Southwest Asia,
although domestic cattle had been independently derived from wild aurochs populations several
times since. Initially animals were kept for meat, and archaeologist Andrew Sherratt has
suggested that dairying, along with the exploitation of domestic animals for hair and labor, began
much later in a separate secondary products revolution in the fourth millennium BC. Sherratt's
model is not supported by recent findings, based on the analysis of lipid residue in prehistoric
pottery, that shows that dairying was practiced in the early phases of agriculture in Southwest
Asia, by at least the seventh millennium BC (Vigne, 2007).
From Southwest Asia domestic dairy animals spread to Europe (beginning around 7000 BC but
not reaching Britain and Scandinavia until after 4000 BC) (Price, 2000) and South Asia (7000–
5500 BC). The first farmers in central Europe and Britain milked their animals. Pastoral and
pastoral nomadic economies, which rely predominantly or exclusively on domestic animals and
their products rather than crop farming, were developed as European farmers moved into the
Pontic-Caspian steppe in the fourth millennium BC, and subsequently spread across much of the
Eurasian steppe Sheep and goats were introduced to Africa from Southwest Asia, but African
cattle may (Anthony, 2007) have been independently domesticated around 7000–6000 BC.
Camels, domesticated in central Arabia in the fourth millennium BC, have also been used as
dairy animals in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The earliest Egyptian records of burn
treatments describe burn dressings using milk from mothers of male babies. In the rest of the
world (i.e., East and Southeast Asia, the Americas and Australia) milk and dairy products were
historically not a large part of the diet, either because they remained populated by hunter-
gatherers who did not keep animals or the local agricultural economies did not include
domesticated dairy species. Milk consumption became common in these regions comparatively
recently, as a consequence of European colonialism and political domination over much of the
world in the last 500 years (Pecanac, 2013).
In the Middle Ages, milk was called the "virtuous white liquor" because alcoholic beverages
were more safe to consume than water (Valenze, 2011).
The growth in urban population coupled with the expansion of the railway network in the mid-
19th century, brought about a revolution in milk production and supply. Individual railway firms
began transporting milk from rural areas to London from the 1840s and 1850s. Possibly the first
such instance was in 1846, when St Thomas's Hospital in Southwark contracted with milk
suppliers outside London to provide milk by rail. The Great Western Railway was an early and
enthusiastic adopter, and began to transport milk into London from Maidenhead in 1860, despite
much criticism. By 1900, the company was transporting over 25 million gallons annually. The
milk trade grew slowly through the 1860s, but went through a period of extensive, structural
change in the 1870s and 1880s
Urban demand began to grow, as consumer purchasing power increased and milk became
regarded as a required daily commodity. Over the last three decades of the 19th century, demand
for milk in most parts of the country doubled, or in some cases, tripled. Legislation in 1875 made
the adulteration of milk illegal - this combined with a marketing campaign to change the image
of milk. The proportion of rural imports by rail as a percentage of total milk consumption in
London grew from under 5% in the 1860s to over 96% by the early 20th century. By that point,
the supply system for milk was the most highly organized and integrated of any food product.
The first glass bottle packaging for milk was used in the 1870s. The first company to do so may
have been the New York Dairy Company in 1877. The Express Dairy Company in England
began glass bottle production in 1880. In 1884, Hervey Thatcher, an American inventor from
New York, invented a glass milk bottle, called 'Thatcher's Common Sense Milk Jar', which was
sealed with a waxed paper disk. Later, in 1932, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were
introduced commercially (About.com, 2010).
In 1863, French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization, a method of killing
harmful bacteria in beverages and food products. He developed this method while on summer
vacation in Arbois, to remedy the frequent acidity of the local wines. He found out
experimentally that it is sufficient to heat a young wine to only about 50–60 °C (122–140 °F) for
a brief time to kill the microbes, and that the wine could be nevertheless properly aged without
sacrificing the final quality. In honor of Pasteur, the process became known as "pasteurization".
Pasteurization was originally used as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.
Commercial pasteurizing equipment was produced in Germany in the 1880s, and the process had
been adopted in Copenhagen and Stockholm by 1885 (Hwang, 2009).
2.9.1 Sources of milk
The females of all mammal species can by definition produce milk, but cow's milk dominates
commercial production. In 2011, FAO estimates 85% of all milk worldwide was produced from
cows (Gerosa, 2012).
Human milk is not produced or distributed industrially or commercially; however, human milk
banks collect donated human breastmilk and redistribute it to infants who may benefit from
human milk for various reasons (premature neonates, babies with allergies, metabolic diseases)
but who cannot breastfeed. In the Western world, cow's milk is produced on an industrial scale
and is by far the most commonly consumed form of milk. Commercial dairy farming using
automated milking equipment produces the vast majority of milk in developed countries. Dairy
cattle such as the Holstein have been bred selectively for increased milk production. About 90%
of the dairy cows in the United States and 85% in Great Britain are Holsteins. Other dairy cows
in the United States include Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn
(Dairy Shorthorn) (McGee, 2004).
Other significant sources of milk
Goats (2% of world's milk)
Buffaloes (11%)
Aside from cattle, many kinds of livestock provide milk used by humans for dairy products.
These animals include buffalo, goat, sheep, camel, donkey, horse, reindeer and yak. The first
four respectively produced about 11%, 2%, 1.4% and 0.2% of all milk worldwide in 2011
(Gerosa, 2012).
2.9.2 Goat Milk
Milk is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is theprimary source of
nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. Milk contains
many nutrients and the carbohydrate lactose. Throughout the world, there are more than six
billion consumers of milk and milk products. Over 750 million people live within dairy farming
households Pehrssonet. al, 2000, Hemme et. Al, 2010.
Cow milk is what comes to mind for most people when thinking about what to put on their cereal
and for making cheese, yogurt, kefir, ice cream, and the many other types of dairy products.
Some may be surprised to learn that goat milk is very prevalent and commonly found on kitchen
tables in many cultures around the world. Goat milk is as versatile as cow milk in just about
every area. There are several factors that influence people in their personal preference of goat or
cow milk for drinking, cheese-making, culturing, baking, or cooking.
Goat milk is milk derived from goat’s, rather than the more common source of milk in most
countries, cows. While goat milk may be harder to acquire in terms of availability and access in
some parts of the world, the impressive health benefits of goat milk and the recent research into
its positive effects on the human body have made it a very popular choice in recent years.
Although goats only produce about 2% of the global milk supply, it is cheaper to process, due to
it not requiring homogenization (the small fat molecules do not separate and remain suspended in
the cream).Certain studies have recommended that goat milk not be given to very young
children, due to their unique nutritional needs in their developmental stages, but as we age, the
chemical composition and impact of goat milk on our body is actually preferable to the effects of
cow milk. For example, people who suffer from lactose intolerance can digest goat milk far
better than cow milk due to its much higher levels of beneficial fatty acids (twice that of cow
milk). Goat milk is commonly processed into cheeses, butter, ice cream, and yoghurts, many of
which are considered delicacies due to their high buttermilk content and rich consistency.
2.9.3 Health Benefits of Goat Milk
Build Strong Bones: This is one of the most common characteristics of all forms of milk, and the
main reason why we tell our children that milk is so important. Milk of all varieties is rich in
calcium, and goat milk is no exception. In addition, goat milk gives you comparable amounts of
calcium as cow milk without so many of the side effects, ensuring that our calcium deposits stay
rich and stable, and our bones don’t experience bone mineral density loss as we age, thereby
helping to prevent osteoporosis.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: One reason why people tend to love goat milk is that they are able
to enjoy it without the common inflammation and upset stomachs that cow milk so often causes.
This is due to the unique enzymatic make-up of goat milk that soothes inflammation in the gut.
Research is ongoing to see whether these anti-inflammatory properties extend to other areas of
the body, but one thing is for certain, it’s definitely better for your stomach!
Nutrient Uptake Efficiency: One of the main benefits of goat milk is that the chemical
composition is far closer to human milk than cow milk. Essentially, humans are designed to be
breast-fed, just like goats and cows, but human milk is similar to goat milk, so our bodies are
able to get more nutrients out of the milk as it moves through our system and it causes less stress
on our digestive processes.
Metabolism Booster: Goat milk is far more nutrient-dense than cow milk, meaning that you
don’t need as much of it to receive the same (or better) nutrient intake. A single cup provides
nearly 40% of our daily calcium requirements, 20% of our vitamin B intake, as well as
significant amounts of potassium and phosphorous. Furthermore, studies have shown that goat
milk can help increase the uptake of iron and copper in our digestive tract, which is essential for
people who struggle with anemia and other nutrient deficiencies.
Heart Health: There are nearly twice as many beneficial fatty acids in goat milk as can be found
in cow milk, which means that our cholesterol balance can be helped significantly by goat milk.
By balancing our essential fatty acids in the body, we can prevent atherosclerosis, strokes, heart
attacks, and other coronary complications.
The high potassium levels in goat milk also help to reduce blood pressure, as potassium is a
vasodilator that relaxes blood vessels and relieves tension on the cardiovascular system.
Immunity Booster: Trace amounts of selenium are found in cow milk, but there are also
significant amounts in goat milk. This somewhat rare mineral is a key component in immune
system functionality, making us better able to protect ourselves from illness and fend off
infections.
Growth and Development: Goat milk is a very rich source of protein, which is an essential part
of growth and development, as proteins are the building blocks of cells, tissue, muscle, and bone.
By ensuring a steady stream of protein, we protect our metabolic processes and stimulate growth
and overall good health.
Weight Loss Efforts: Although goat milk has more fatty acids than cow milk, it actually has less
“bad” fats, meaning that it can help people who want to lose weight, without compromising their
nutritional needs.
Environmental Protection: Due to the digestive processes of cows, they tend to suffer from
extreme flatulence, which comes out in the form of methane. This gas is highly corrosive to the
atmosphere and the ozone layer; environmental scholars actually suggest that the millions of
cows raised for beef and milk are a major player in ozone degradation and global warming. By
supporting goat milk production, we can protect future generations and ourselves from the
dangerous effects of climate change!
A Final Word of Warning: Due to the different nutrient composition of goat milk from cow milk,
it is not recommended to immediately give your children goat milk once they stop breast or
bottle-feeding. As they get older, the nutrient composition of goat milk becomes more
appropriate, but for proper development, it is wise to begin with cow milk
2.9.3.1 Taste
The distinctive flavor of goat cheese has earned its niche in the world of delicacy flavors found
in fine delis, restaurants, and gourmet supermarkets. For some, that distinctive taste is the reason
for a preference for goat milk products; for others it is a reason to prefer cow milk! In the world
of raw and cultured milk, fresh goat and cow milk can have basically the same taste due to their
similar compositions, or can be quite different. This can depend on proper processing and
handling of the milk as well as the diet of the animal. Many say the taste of goat milk is slightly
sweeter than that of cow milk. However, mass-produced goat milk sold in most stores can be
have a “goaty” taste due to different methods of processing, packaging, and pasteurization.
2.9.3.2 Appearance
Goats convert the carotene in their diet to vitamin A more efficiently than cows do, producing
whiter milk, cream, and butter. Those who prefer a classic yellow hue to their butter may use
annatto (cheese coloring) to add color back in during processing.
2.9.3.3 Consistency
It takes the milk of approximately five to ten goats to equal the production of one cow. However,
once the milk has been extracted from the animal, the difference in consistency of cow milk
compared to goat milk is minor. The amount of cream in goat milk is not insignificant; however,
the fat globules in goat milk are much smaller than those in cow milk resulting in the cream
remaining suspended throughout the milk instead of rising to the top. In addition, goat milk does
not contain agglutinin, the compound in cow milk that enables the fat globules to cluster and rise
to the top. Due to this natural homogenization, a cream separator is generally used if goat cream
is desired. One may prefer using raw cow milk when making butter, sour cream, and similar
items due to the ease of separating the cream from the milk.
2.9.3.4 Nutrition
Goat milk is an excellent alternative to cow ilk.The composition of any type of milk can vary
depending on the animal’s breed, diet, environment, and point in the lactation period, but on
average, this is how cow milk and goat milk compare:
2.9.3.5 Digestion
The smaller fat globules in goat milk result in a smaller and softer curd, enabling digestive
enzymes to break it down more rapidly.Goat milk also has higher levels of short- and medium-
chain fatty acids, rendering a faster and easier digestion process as well as producing quicker
energy.Many people prefer goat milk for these reasons.
2.9.3.6 Lactose Tolerance
The sugar in milk is called lactose. Some people have low levels of the enzyme lactase, which is
responsible for digesting lactose, and are therefore “lactose intolerant.” The symptoms of lactose
intolerance include mild to extreme discomfort, so lactose-intolerant individuals often choose to
eliminate anything containing lactose from their diet. Goat milk contains less lactose than cow
milk, which may make it a better option for those with mild lactose sensitivities. Individuals
concerned about lactose tolerance are advised to consult with their health care practitioners
regarding the advisability of consuming any dairy products.
2.9.3.7 Allergy
A milk allergy is a physical reaction to one or more of the proteins within milk, the most
common being alpha S1-casein, found in both goat and cow milk. Most milk found in stores has
been pasteurized, killing the live enzymes and nutrients needed to aid in digestion and absorption
of the milk. Allergic individuals may also react to any hormones or antibiotics contained in the
milk.
Since allergies are generally quite protein-specific, there have been cases where those who are
allergic to cow milk have been able to tolerate raw goat milk as a substitute. Those people
affected by milk allergies may also benefit by the introduction of fermented foods into their
diets, including cultured dairy, since the large amounts of probiotics and powerful enzymes
developed through the fermentation process can aid and strengthen gut flora and the health of the
immune system. The proteins in the milk are broken down during the fermentation process
making for greater acceptance into the digestion process of a person with a milk allergy.
Individuals concerned about milk allergies are advised to consult with their health care
practitioners regarding the advisability of consuming any dairy products.
2.9.4 Goat Milk vs. Cow Milk
Whether you choose cow or goat milk is often a matter of preference, because these two milks
are similar in nutrition content and both may provide you with health benefits. Some people
prefer the taste of goat's milk over cow's milk and vice versa. There are a few subtle differences
between these two types of milk.
2.9.4.1 Nutrition Composition
Cow and goat milk provide similar nutritional benefits and essential nutrients. Low-fat cow's
milk and goat's milk are both rich in dietary protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin
D. They both contain about 8 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of total fat, 10 to 12 grams of
carbohydrates, about 10 milligrams of cholesterol, and about 100 milligrams of sodium.
2.9.4.2 Calorie Content
Low-fat goat milk contains slightly fewer calories (90 calories) than low-fat cow's milk, which
provides 110 calories in each 1-cup serving. However, low-fat goat milk is comparable to fat-
free cow's milk, which also contains about 90 calories per cup.
2.9.4.2 Digestibility Considerations
If you are lactose intolerant and suffer unpleasant side effects after drinking cow milk, such as
abdominal cramps, bloating, gas, nausea and diarrhea, you may have better luck with goat milk.
This is because goat milk may be easier to digest than cow's milk, according to MedlinePlus.
However, keep in mind that lactose-free cow's milk is widely available, and generally well
tolerated by people with lactose intolerance. Overall Health Benefits
Both cow and goat milk may provide you with several health benefits. Because these two milks
are rich in protein, they help fill you up and may aid in healthy weight management. Because
they are both excellent sources of calcium, they support bone health as well.
A review published in 2013 in World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics reports that both milks
may help protect against colorectal cancer, and that goat's milk isn't better or worse than cow's
milk.
2.10 Pasteurization
A number of food safety agencies around the world have warned of the risk of raw milk cheeses.
The U.S food and drug administration state that soft raw milk cheeses can cause “serious
infectious diseases including listeiosis, brucellosis, and tuberculosis (Buzby. J 2005) it is U.S law
since 1944 that all raw milk cheeses (including imports since 1951) must be aged at least 60
days. Australia has a wide ban on raw milk cheeses as well, though in recent years exceptions
have been made for swiss Gruyere, Emmental and Sbrinz, and for rench Roquefort (Chris M,
2005). There is a trend for cheeses to be pasteurized even when not required by law.
Compulsory pasteurization is controversial, pasteurization does change the flavour of cheeses,
and unpasteurized cheeses are often considered to have better flavour, so there are reasons to
pasteurized all cheeses. Some say that health concerns are overstated, or that milk pasteurization
does not ensure cheese safety (Janet F, 2011).
Pregnant women may face an additional risk from cheese, the U.S centre for disease control has
warned pregnant women apaist eating soft-ripened cheeses and blue-veined cheeses, due to the
listeria risk, which can cause miscarriage or harn of foetus during birth.(Listeria 2006).
2.11 Cheese Coagulants
Rennet is a complex of enzymes produced in stomach of ruminant mammals which is used in the
production of most cheeses. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the
casein in milk, helping young mammals digest their mother’s milk. It can also be used to
separate milk ito solid curds used for cheese making and liquid whey. In addition to chymosin,
rennet contains other important enzymes in it such as pepsin and a lipase. These are non-animal
sources of rennet that are suitable for consumption by vegetarians.
2.11.1 Lime
Lime is a citrus fruit. The juice fruit, peel and oil are used to make medicine, oil pressed from the
crushed fruit is known as distilled lime oil (James, 1996).
2.11.1.1 Uses of Lime
The chemical industrial uses of lime in the production of variety of chemicals including sodium
alkalis, calcium, carbide, cyndine, citric acid, petro chemicals, propylene, glycol glycerin,
magnesia, calcium hypochlorite and many others. These chemicals are used in virtually every
product in the United States (Kanerva, 2000). A growing use for lime is the production of
precipitated calcium carbonate, which is used in the production of paper, paint, plastic, rubber
and purification of water (Kanerva, 2000).
2.11.1.2 Lemon
Lemon is a small evergreen tree native to Asia. The tree’s ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for
culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, though the pulp
and rind zest are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6%
citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice is a key
ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie.
2.11.1.3 Uses and Pharmacology of Lemon
The peel, pulp and seeds are used to make oils, pectin or other products. It has long been used as
an astringent, diaphoretic, diuretic, gargle, lotion and tonic (Ensminger A, etal 1994).
Application of lemon juice in conjunction with exposure to sunlight was once though to fade
tattoos, but this theory was disproven (Carper J,1994). Lemon has also been used externally for
acne, fungus (ringworm and athlete’s foot), sunburn and warts (Chevallier, 1996).
Lemon juice and lemon oil have been evacuated for antimicrobial action. The oil shows some
bacteriostatic and antiviral action though to be due to citral and linalool content (Fisher K,
2006).
Lemon has been shown to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus mold (Ballot D, 1987) and has been
used to disinfect drinking water (Alderman GG, 1976) and to inactivate rabies virus (Aquino,
1994).
Pharmacologically, the lemon is primarily important for its vitamin c and potassium content.
Epidemological studies associate the intake of citrus fruit with a reduction in the risk of various
diseases (Manners GD 2007) (Miyake Y, 1998).
2.11.2 Moringa Oleifera Seeds
Moringa oleifera seeds are produced annually in the tropical and subtropical countries of Asia
and Africa. Like the rest of the plant, they are highly valued, as they give us incredibly nutritious
moringa tree. The moringaoleifera tree also known as the as the tree of life, and has a host of
nutritive uses for both people and livestock alike (Zarkada, 2005).
2.11.2.1 Uses of Moringa Oleifera Seeds
Fresh Moringa seeds are usually quite soft and yield with stronq pressure. If the Moringa seeds
are to be used for oil extraction, the seeds are harvested and immediately processed.
The fresh soft seeds are broken into process and heated with water and they are pressed for oil.
Moringa seeds contain between 30-42% and the pressed cake obtained as a byproduct of oil
extraction process contains a very high level of protein some of these proteins are active cationic
poly electrolyte that neutralized the colloids in muddy water since the majority of these colloids
have negative electric charge. This protein can therefore be used in the purification of drinking
water (Zarkadas, 2005).
2.11.3 Alum and Its Uses
Alums are useful for a range of industrial processes. They are soluble in water; have a sweetish
taste; reactacid to litmus; and crystallize in regular octahedra. When heated they liquefy; and if
the heating is continued, the water of crystallization is driven off, the salt froths and swells, and
at last an amorphous powder remains. They are astringent and acidic. Potassium alum is the
common alum of commerce, although soda alum, ferric alum, and ammonium alum are
manufactured.
Alum has been used at least since Roman times for purification of drinking water[2] and industrial
process water. Between 30 and 40 ppm of alum[2][3] for household wastewater, often more for
industrial wastewater,[4] is added to the water so that the negatively charged colloidal particles
clump together into "flocs", which then float to the top of the liquid, settle to the bottom of the
liquid, or can be more easily filtered from the liquid, prior to further filtration and disinfection of
the water.
Alum solution has the property of dissolving steels while not affecting aluminium or base metals,
and can be used to recover workpieces made in these metals with broken toolbits lodged inside
them.[5] As considerable expense and/or effort may have gone into machining a specialist part,
this can be a worthwhile exercise.
2.11.4 Tsamiya (Tamarind)
Tamarind, tamarindusindica is a multipurpose tropical fruit tree used primarily for its fruits
which are eaten or processed, used as a seasoning or spice, or fruits and seeds are a seasoning or
spice, or fruits and seeds are processed for non-food uses. Tamarind is known as tsamiya in
Nigeria and belongs to the dicotyledonous family lequminosaewhich is the third largest family of
flowering plants.
Whole tamarind seed and kernels are rich in protein (13-20%) and the seed coat is rich in fibre
(20%) and tannins 20%.
It also contains 14-18% albuminoid tannins located in the testa. Tamarind seed in a by product of
the commercial utilization of the fruit, however, it has several uses. In the past the seeds have
been wasted. In 1942, two Indian scientist, T.P Ghose and S.Krishma announced that the
secorticated kernels contained 46-48% of a gel-forming substance. Dr. G.R savur of the pectin
manufacturing company, Bombay, patented a process for the production of a purified product,
called Jellose; polyose; or pectin, which was found to be superior to other methods of fruits
presentation. The substance gelatirizes with sugar concentrates even in cold water or milk (Savur
1998). It has been recommended for use as a stabilizer in ice-cream, mayonnaise and cheese and
as an ingredient or agen in a number of pharmaceutical products. (Savur, 1998).
2.12 Other Ingredients
2.12.1 Salt
Salt is a mineral that is composed of sodium chloride NaCl, a chemical compound belonging to
the larger class of ionic states. It is essential for animal life in small quantities, harmful when in
excess. It is the oldest, most unique food seasoning and important in food preservation. The taste
of the salt (saltiness) is one of the basic human tastes (Carolyn et al 1983)
2.12.2 Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oil can be narrowly defined as referring only to plant oils that can be liquid at room
temperature. Vegetable oil are triglycerides exracted from plant, such oil have been part of human
culture for millennia (Archaeo 2006)
Edible vegetable oil are used in food, both for cooking and as supplements. Many oil, edible and
otherwise, are burned as fuel, such as in oil lamps and as a substitute for petroleum based fuels.
Some of the many other uses include wood finishing, oil painting, and skin care.

3.5 Sensory Evaluation
Sensory analysis (or sensory evaluation) is a scientific discipline that applies principles of
experimental design and statistical analysis to the use of human senses (sight, smell, taste, touch
and hearing) for the purposes of evaluating consumer products. The discipline requires panels of
human assessors, on whom the products are tested, and recording the responses made by them.
By applying statistical techniques to the results it is possible to make inferences and insights
about the products under test.
After the production the sample was labeled Tamarind cheese (TAC), Lemon cheese (LEM),
Moringa cheese (MOC), Alum cheese (ALC), Lime cheese (LIC).10 panelists were presented
with the samples to analyze based on the following quality characteristics: texture, color, flavor,
aroma, taste and overall acceptability. These were done using the 9 points hedonic scale. The
results were analyzed statistically using ANOVA.

4.1 Discussion
The table 4.2 above shows the result the yield of the product. It is produced into samples
ALC(36.4%), TAC(44.9%), MC(44.9%),LEC(24.3%), LIC(36.4%).LIC and ALC gave the
highest yield of 36.4% followed by LEC(24.3%) while Tamarind and Moringa gave the least
yield of 44.9% curd. Table 4.1 above represents the summary of the analysis of variance
(ANOVA) of taste, texture, colour, aroma and overall acceptability of products. The results for
analysis of variance shows that calculated variance ratio f*_value is lesser than the tabulated f_
value in colour, aroma, texture, taste and over all acceptability which shows that there is no
significant difference in colour, texture, taste, aroma and overall acceptability at 5% level of
significance.
CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Conclusion
At the end of the experiment, I concluded that cheese of acceptable sensory qualities can be
produced from goat milk using lime juice, lemon juice, Moringa seed cake extract, or alum as
coagulant. This indicated that each coagulant have almost the same effect on the key quality
attributes of cheese such as its curdling and sensory properties.
5.2 Recommendation
I strongly recommend that Kaduna Polytechnic management upgrade the facilities in the Quality
Control Unit such that it will be connected to a standby power supply in case of power outage
I recommend that further studies be carried out on the suitable packaging material for cheese,
microbiological qualities, proximate composition among others
I recommend also the consumption of cheese from goat milk for everyone as a natural remedy
for stomach inflammation.
