Summary

On renneting, the electrical conductivity of milk decreased as viscosity increased. The sigmoidal time course of the decrease resembled the time course of shear modulus, but was more rapid. The total amount of change was independent of the amount of rennet and proportional to milk conductivity and its casein content. The conductivity change was interpreted as a change in the way casein micelles obstructed the path of the charge-carrying ions.
