Beta-Lactoglobulin
44
What breed of dairy cow gives milk with the highest fat content (on average)
Jersey
45
What are typical organisms used in the production of yogurt?
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilis
46
What are the two predominant microflora genera of milk powders?
Bacillus, Micrococcus
47
What are the minimum ingredients needed to make process cheeses made?
Cheese, water, emulsifying salts
48
What are 2 main proteins in milk whey?
Alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin
49
Sandiness is a defect in ice cream. What causes sandiness?
Lactose crystals
50
In which dairy product is acetaldehyde a problem or defect?
Yogurt
51
In cheese making, what terms describe the solid mass and the liquid phases?
Solid: curd; Liquid: whey
52
How does rennin act to destabilize the casein micelle?
It divides k-casein into para-k-casein and glycomacropeptide. The loss of glycomacropeptide causes loss of hydration stability.
53
For which food were microbiological standards first established?
Milk

100%
55
Chymosin converts kappa casein into what two molecules?
para-kappa-casein and a glycomacropeptide
56
Cheshire, Gruyere, and Cheddar are examples of what type of cheese?
Hard
57
By federal standards of identity which must contain more fat butter or margarine?
Both must contain 80% or more
58
