Results are mean values of triplicate experiments with standard deviations. Values with different lowercase letters differ significantly (Tukey’s test, p < 0.05) considering the coagulant factor for the single milk animal source incubated at each temperature (25 °C (a, b, c, d), 37 °C (α, β, γ, δ), 50 °C (g, h, j, k), 60 °C (γ, η, φ, κ), 70 °C (w, x, y, z)). Values with different capital letters (A, B, C, D) differ significantly (Tukey’s test, p < 0.05) according to milk factor at each coagulant. N/A: not available (coagulation has not been revealed).
