Abbreviations are: r (min)—clotting time; k20 (min)—curd firming time; a60 (mm)—curd firmness at 60 min after commencement of clotting. The results are mean values of triplicate experiments with standard deviations. Values with different upper letters differ significantly (Tukey’s test, p < 0.05) considering the coagulant factor for each type of milk (a, b, c). Values with different capital letters (A, B, C) differ significantly (Tukey’s test, p < 0.05) according to milk factor of each coagulant. N/A: not available (firmness was not reached).
