DETERMINATION OF THEORETICAL YIELD OF CHEDDAR CHEESE USING MILK COMPOSITION, CHEESE MOISTURE AND THE VAN SLYKE YIELD EQUATION.

Insert value for the % casein in the milk.


Insert value for the % fat in the milk.


Insert value for % moisture in the cheese.

                               

The theoretical yield is 0 kg of cheese per 100 kg of milk. You may find it useful to see how well a modified version of the Van Slyke equation predicts yield using only milk composition.

For more information on yield please see http://www.dairyscience.info/cheese-yield.htm and the answers to selected questions on cheese science and technology.

How do you investigate and solve commercial yield problems? This article provides a simple framework for analysing milk composition, casein:fat ratio, actual yield, theoretical yield and milk component retention. Users can use a unique interactive table to enter and analyse real data or vary the given data to investigate the effects of a range of factors on yield.
