kaasufaasipinnoitusta

Kaasufaasipinnoitusta is a chemical-based process used in the production of cottage cheese, also known as faasikäsits. The process involves the coagulation of milk with a rennet-based enzyme, resulting in the formation of a semi-solid curd that is characteristic of cottage cheese.

The process begins with the pasteurization of milk to kill off any bacteria and extend its shelf life. The milk is then cooled to a temperature that is optimal for the coagulation process. A rennet-based enzyme, typically obtained from the stomach lining of young animals or produced through microbial fermentation, is added to the milk to cause coagulation.

The coagulated milk is then left to sit for a period of time, allowing the curds to firm up and the liquid whey to separate. The curds are then cut into small pieces to release more liquid whey and create a smooth texture. The mixture is then heated to around 90 degrees Celsius to kill off any bacteria and create a firmer curd.

The resulting curd is then packaged and sold as cottage cheese. Kaasufaasipinnoitusta is a widely used process in the dairy industry, offering a cost-effective and efficient way to produce cottage cheese on a large scale.

The health benefits of cottage cheese produced through kaasufaasipinnoitusta include its high protein content, as well as the presence of probiotic bacteria that can aid digestion. However, the use of rennet-based enzymes has been a subject of debate due to concerns over the treatment of animals used for rennet production.
