Textural profile characteristic of the curd mass from camel milk for gero diet

There are not so many fermented milk products recommended for use in gerodiet. Among them, for the first time, the textural characteristics of curd mass made from camel milk with the addition of flaxseed flour were investigated. As a result of the study, it was found that camel milk curd differs in hardness, adhesion and distribution compared to cow milk curd. In terms of adhesion, the camel milk curd was 44.52% higher than the cow milk curd and 85% lower than the cow and camel milk curd. The adhesion of the curd mass from cow's milk was the least important among the curd mass. It was noted that the time taken to dispense the camel curd was 50% less than the time taken to dispense the cow's milk curd. However, all samples of curd mass did not differ significantly in hardness. As a result of the study, it can be concluded that camel milk curd mass in terms of chewing, distribution and firmness can have an effective texture profile compared to other samples.
