Effects of calcium on physical properties and Fourier-transformed infrared spectra of raw and sterilized goat milk

Calcium fortification induces instability of goat milk such as flocculation and sedimentation. The Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectra could be used as a tool for monitoring such as instability. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in FTIR spectra, particle size and some properties of raw and sterilized goat milk when stimulated with calcium fortification. Either calcium citrate or calcium phosphate was fortified at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the recommended daily...
