## 4 Discussion  
Based on observations, producers in Ajloun process Jameed from lightly concentrated buttermilk and produce Jameed with small spherical shapes to increase the drying surface, which becomes flattened later and could be responsible for the lighter weight in comparison to other regions. Producers in some regions, such as Elkarak and Zarqa, produce Jameed balls from well-concentrated buttermilk, which are more homogeneous in shape and weight because it is desirable for consumers. In other regions, such as Irbed and Jarash, Jameed is produced in different shapes, and weights can range from 50 to 800 g. This is related to consumer preferences as well as to producer skills. The Jameed produced in Elkarak is used as the reference as it is very well known all over the country. \begin{table}
