It was found that the stability of colloidal protein system at pH 6.6 and 6.0 as measured by the amount of chymosin-released peptides in the point of visually observable aggregation, was lower compared with that of milk. A decreased role of Ca in the formation of gel at pH 6.0 did not have the influence on the content of nitrogen in the matrix of gels. It was observed a small decrease in the relative percentage of casein in the proteins forming the matrix at pH 6.0. At the same time, it was found a decreased percentage of beta-lactoglobulin in the soluble fraction of gels. A significant decrease in the Ca/N w/w ratio in the gel matrix at pH 6.0 indicated an increased role of hydrophobic interactions in the formation
