摘要:The goals of this study were to understand how seasonal variations in composition of milk from native breed cows influence the technological properties of milk and how these changes might be beneficial for the production of cultured dairy products. Milk samples from native Lithuanian Black and White dairy cattle breed (LBW) were collected and profiled for different compositional and technological traits over a 1-year period. In general, insignificant differences were observed in overall milk composition between seasons. However, protein content was significantly affected by season, which was reflected in protein composition. The contents of individual milk proteins in LBW milk during the winter months were significantly lower (p S1- and κ-Cn content in comparison with milk samples with weak acid-induced gelation properties. Further analysis of yoghurt produced from LBW milk showed that the production of yoghurt with strong physicochemical properties was possible even when the milk had weak acid-induced gelation properties. Lithuanian Black and White dairy cattle milk can thus be considered a good raw material for the production of cultured dairy products.
