Using a draining belt to aid mositure reduction in cheddar cheese making, what is the effect on losses when stirring the curd immediately after whey separation then letting it settle for another 5 to ten minutes and then stirring (mechanical stirring) again before allowing to cheddar for a 200mm bed of curd.

This is an interesting query and I am sorry that you have not yet received an answer.

Can I confirm that you are asking about stirring on the 'belt'?

Curd firmness at cutting definitely has an effect on moisture, cheese yield and composition.

It would be expected that how and when curd is stirred on a drainage belt would also effect fat and protein losses. I have my own views on what these effects should be but I have not been involved in either industrial or pilot scale trials. Hopefully others in due course will share their experiences.
