Reconstituted skim milk formed by a gel by acidification to < pH 5.2 and heating to 60 degrees C. The gel compressive stress (sigma c) was influenced by the heating process, increased with milk-nonfat-solids (MNFS) and reached a maximum at pH 4.0. The addition of emulsified fat facilitated gelation, increase gel sigma c and shear modulus, and decreased gel deformability. At an equal fat concentration, emulsions containing small-sized fat globules (i.e., more globules) reinforced the gels more markedly than emulsions comprised of large globules reflecting the importance of number of globules in the gels. Electron micrographs revealed crosslinkages between fat globules and casein particles in the gel network, which may have caused reinforcement of milk gels by milkfat.
