1. A method for predicting mild coagulum cut-time in a cheese making process, comprising the steps of:

  • directing light from a light source toward milk undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis;

    sensing diffuse reflectances of the light from said milk at substantially 950±

    5 nm;

    analyzing the sensed diffuse reflectance profile of said light; and

    signaling said cut-time.
