The objective of the present study was to develop tofu with soybean-water soluble extract coagulated with cardoon flower (F1) and magnesium chloride (MgCl, F2). The produced tofu was characterized in terms of physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties during 14 days of storage. The yield of F1 was higher ( < 0.05) (195 g/100 soybean seeds) than F2 (162 g/100 soybean seeds). F1 presented higher moisture, protein, acidity, syneresis, and lipids when compared with F2, and a reduction of these contents during the storage. F1 presented lower hardness, stickiness, springiness, and cohesiveness compared with F2. The acceptability of F1 showed a score of 6.00 and F2 of 4.68, and the purchase intention was 3.22 for F1 and 2.23 for F2. This study recommended the use of cardoon flower at 35% level as it has great potential as a coagulant for the elaboration of tofu with higher yield, and acceptability and reasonable purchasing intention.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates proteolytic enzymes extracted from brewer's spent grain (BSG) sourced from various artisanal beers, assessing their ability to serve as eco-friendly coagulants in cheese-making.
  • - Through optimization experiments, the researchers identified that caseinolytic activity peaked at pH 8.0, with significant variations in enzyme efficacy across different BSG samples.
  • - Results suggest that certain BSG extracts possess milk-clotting activity comparable to traditional plant-based coagulants, indicating a promising sustainable connection between the brewing and dairy sectors.

In this study, for the very first time, aqueous extracts obtained from flowers of spontaneously grown or cultivated Onopordum platylepis (Murb.) Murb. thistles were used as coagulating agents for the pilot-scale manufacture of Caciofiore, a traditional Italian raw ewe's milk cheese.

Research Background: A few studies have investigated enzymes as a substitute for calf rennet in cheese making. They used aqueous extracts prepared by maceration of plant material and stored by freezing. However, it was indicated that lyophilisation is a better alternative to preserve the coagulant properties of plant extracts over a longer period of time, as it is a more controllable, stable and hygienic alternative with a better shelf life that is easier to transport, store and standardise.

Milk coagulation is a process used for the formulation of different dairy products such as cheese. In this process, milk undergoes changes in its chemical stability thanks to acidification or enzymatic reactions. Traditionally, milk coagulation has been carried out with rennet of animal origin, but recently, the research of new types of rennet such as microbial rennet and vegetable rennet has increased.
