Goat milk is subjected to different pre-treatments to
ensure its microbiological safety during dairy product
manufacture. In the case of cheese-making, any these treatments
may have negative effects on the organoleptic and
technological properties of a cheese. For example, heat
treating milk can cause the denaturation of serum proteins,
which is related with slow renneting, a weak curd and poor
syneresis (Walstra et al., 1993). Hence, many researchers
have focused their studies on controlling these aspects by
using technological approaches, such as the application of
on-line sensors (Castillo et al., 2006; Rovira et al., 2012) and
high pressure treatments during cheese making.
