SUMMARY The heat stability and rennet coagulation time (second stage) of milk were reduced by brief dialysis against water. Destabilization appears to arise from a developed imbalance between Ca and phosphate plus citrate due to the very slow diffusion of Ca on dialysis. Average micelle size as indicated by permeation chromatography in porous glass CPG 10 was slightly reduced by dialysis for 24 h. Direct addition of low levels (10–100 mM) of NaCl to milk markedly reduced heat stability at pH > 7·0 (normal minimum) possibly due to dissociation of κ-casein, but increased rennet coagulation times; higher levels of NaCl decreased heat stability throughout the pH range 6·4–7·4.
