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.

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

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'?

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.
