1.1 Introduction
Production of cheese at household level involved the use of different locally produced coagulants which include alum, Sodom apple and fermented maize liquor. Their effects on quality of cheese made from blends of soya milk are sparse. Cheese is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein (Omotosho, O.E., Oboh, G. and Iweala, E.E.J., 2011). It comprises of proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. Approximately, one third of the world’s milk production is used for cheese manufacturing to conserve the most desirable milk components such as casein, fat, calcium and phosphorus (Kashtanova, 2010).
