Comparison of the characteristics of halloumi cheese made from ovine milk, caprine milk or mixtures of these milks

The aim of this work was to study the rheological, physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of four types of halloumi cheese made from pure ovine milk, pure caprine milk or mixtures containing 15 or 30% caprine milk. All the milks were standardized for casein to fat ratio. Pure ovine milk gave the highest yield of halloumi cheese and caprine the lowest. No significant differences in acidity, pH, moisture, total protein and ash contents of the four types of cheese were found. In contrast, significant differences in soluble proteins, non-protein nitrogen, acid degree value and calcium contents were noted. Rheological examinations showed the hardness and the force at the point of fracture of caprine halloumi cheese to be lower than those of the other types of cheese. The same cheese presented the highest compression at the point of fracture and cohesiveness, while there were no differences in gumminess or chewiness. Members of the assessment panel showed a preference for halloumi cheese made from 30% caprine milk and 70% ovine milk.     

FAT REPLACERS IN LOW-FAT MEXICAN MANCHEGO CHEESE

Low-fat Manchego cheeses (15 g fat/L milk) were prepared with three commercial fat replacers consisting of low methoxyl pectin (LMP), whey protein concentrate (WPC) and microparticulated whey protein (MWP). A low-fat cheese (15 g fat/L milk) without added fat replacer and a full-fat cheese (30 g fat/L milk) were prepared as controls. Cheeses were matured thirty days prior to instrumental texture profile analysis, microstructure analysis, and discriminative sensory evaluation. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the low-fat cheeses incorporating the LMP and WPC fat replacers lost the compact and dense protein matrix characteristic of the low-fat control cheese and exhibited hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness similar to the full-fat control cheese. No significant difference was found in the sensory characteristics between the full-fat control cheese and the cheese incorporating WPC.

研究主要原料玉米淀粉、大豆分离蛋白、肥肉、水,在不同添加量时,对猪肉丸凝胶性质中硬度、弹性、黏聚性、咀爵性、蒸煮损失率和感官品质的影响.通过质构分析和感官评价,结果表明:玉米淀粉的不同添加量对猪肉丸的硬度、弹性、黏聚性、咀嚼性、蒸煮损失率有显著差异,在添加量22％时感官评分最高;大豆分离蛋白的不同添加量对猪肉丸的硬度、弹性、咀嚼性、蒸煮损失率有显著差异,在添加量为2.0％时感官评分最高;肥肉的不同添加量对猪肉丸的硬度、咀嚼性、蒸煮损失率有显著差异,在添加量30％时感官评分最高;在水的不同添加量对猪肉丸硬度、黏聚性、咀嚼性、蒸煮损失率有显著差异,在添加量35％时感官评分最高.     

Improvement of low fat mozzarella cheese properties using denatured whey protein

Mozzarella cheese was made from buffalo milk (6% fat) or from partially skimmed buffalo milk (2 and 4% fat) with 0.5 and 1% denatured whey protein. Adding whey protein to buffalo milk decreased rennet coagulation time and curd tension whereas increased curd synaeresis. Addition of whey protein to cheese milk increased the acidity, total solids, ash, salt, salt in moisture, also some nitrogen fractions. The meltability and oiling‐off values increased but the calcium values of mozzarella cheese decreased. The sensory properties of low fat mozzarella cheese were improved by addition of whey protein to the cheese milk.     

Rheology, microstructure, and functionality of low-fat Iranian white cheese made with different concentrations of rennet

A batch of full-fat (23% target fat) and 3 batches of low-fat (6% target fat) Iranian white cheese with different rennet concentrations (1-, 2-, and 3-fold the normal usage) were produced to study the effect of fat content reduction and promoted proteolysis on the textural and functional properties of the product. Cheese samples were analyzed with respect to their rheological parameters (uniaxial compression and small amplitude oscillatory shear), meltability, microstructure, and sensory characteristics. Reduction of fat content from 23 to 6% had adverse effects on the texture, functionality, cheese-making yield, and sensory characteristics of Iranian white cheese. Fat reduction increased the instrumental hardness parameters (storage modulus, stress at fracture, and Young's modulus of elasticity), decreased the cheese meltability and yield, and made the microstructure more compact. Doubling the rennet concentration reduced values of instrumental hardness parameters, increased the meltability, and improved the sensory impression of texture. Although increasing the rennet concentration to 2-fold the normal usage resembled somewhat the low-fat cheese to its full-fat counterpart, it appeared to cause more reduction in yield. Increasing the rennet concentration 3-fold the normal usage produced a product slightly more elastic than the low-fat cheese with normal concentration of rennet. Increasing the rennet concentration to 2-fold the normal usage was useful for improving the textural, functional, and sensory properties of low-fat Iranian white cheese.     

Structural and textural characteristics of reduced-fat cheese-like products made from W1/O/W2 emulsions and skim milk

The chemical composition, yield, structural arrangement, instrumental textural characteristics, and preference sensory evaluation of reduced-fat cheese-like products manufactured from skim milk and different water-in-oil-in-water (W₁/O/W₂) emulsions were determined. A full-fat white fresh cheese (WFC) was prepared from milk containing 27 g of milk-fat L⁻¹, and five reduced-fat white fresh cheese-like products (EC) were made from skim milk added with 25 g of multiple emulsions L⁻¹ containing canola oil and stabilized/emulsified by amidated low-methoxyl pectin (LMP), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), gum Arabic (GA), and blends of GA-CMC or GA-LMP. The chemical composition, yield, structural arrangement and texture of the cheese-like products were affected by the biopolymers used as emulsifying/stabilizing agents of the multiple emulsions. CMC produced an EC with similar textural behaviour than the WFC cheese. GA contributed to a higher yield and fat content in the EC cheese in comparison with CMC and LMP cheese. GA and LMP contributed to increased values of hardness and chewiness of the EC cheese. The cheese made with multiple emulsions incorporating GA and LMP emulated best the textural characteristics of the WFC cheese. All of the EC cheese showed marked differences in microstructure.     

Correlation between instrumental texture and colour quality attributes with sensory analysis of selected cheeses as affected by fat contents

This study evaluated several physical and sensory parameters of different types of cheese available in the Polish market. The measurements of textural properties were conducted in an Instron universal testing machine, while the colour properties of cheeses were measured using a Minolta chromameter. The chemical composition was determined by means of the near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRs). Moreover, a trained sensory panel was invited to assess the cheese texture‐related properties. Generally, cheeses with reduced fat content were characterised by higher hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and elasticity. Texture‐related parameters of cheese with canola oil were comparable to that of most of full‐fat cheeses. The correlation analysis between physical and sensory attributes related to cheese textural properties indicated the potential applications of TPA, shear and penetration tests (r = 0.766, r = 0.75 and r = 0.765, respectively) for the evaluation of sensory properties related to the hardness. Meanwhile, the elasticity of cheese obtained from sensory evaluation was strongly correlated with the elasticity determined from the shear test (r = 0.722) and moderately correlated with the elasticity from penetration test (r = 0.588), indicating a need to refine the method of penetration test. In addition, cheeses exhibited higher meltability during convection heating at 230 °C than microwave heating. The values of meltability for cheese with reduced fat content were lower than those of full‐fat cheese.     

白牦牛乳软质干酪的加工及其质构特性的研究

以甘肃天祝牧区白牦牛乳为原料制作软质干酪。优化了加工白牦牛乳软质干酪的工艺参数,并测定其保藏期前后的理化指标和质构。结果表明,牦牛乳软质干酪在发酵剂添加量2g/100mL,凝乳温度35℃,凝乳pH5.9,CaCl2添加量0.01g/100mL时,品质最佳,出品率为22.5g/100g;保藏30d后的软质干酪与新鲜干酪相比,其非脂物质水分含量(P0.01)、干物质脂肪含量(P0.01)、胶着性(P0.05)、硬度(P0.01)和咀嚼性(P0.01)均有显著变化。     

Utilization of interesterified fat in the production of Turkish white cheese

The chemical, physicochemical, proteolysis, sensory, and texture characteristics of white cheeses made from interesterified fat were examined throughout ripening for 90 days. The water-soluble nitrogen based ripening indexes of cheeses increased throughout the ripening period. However, there were not large quantitative differences between the peptide profiles of the all cheese samples. Cheeses produced by using fully interesterified fat had higher values for hardness, chewiness, and gumminess than that of control cheese (p<0.05). The polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratios of cheeses were increased due to the presence of interesterified fat. The cholesterol values of cheeses decreased at the rate of between 58.83–89.04% depending on interesterified fat addition. In the sensory analysis, similar scores were obtained for both the control cheese and the other cheeses. The results showed that interesterified fat in cheese production could be used to fully or partially replace the milk fat in cheese.     

不同硬度奶酪的质构及流变特性比较

针对3 种不同奶酪样品(硬质、半硬质、软质)对其进行成分分析、质构特征参数(应力松弛、破断)测定、质地剖面分析(TPA)、感官评定及动态流变特性实验。结果表明：奶酪样品硬度的不同对其质构特征和动态流变参数有明显影响;硬质奶酪具有弹力大的特点;黏聚性小、破断强度大,软质奶酪具有弹力小、黏聚性大、破断强度小的特点;在整个频率扫描范围内,随着硬度的下降,样品的贮藏模量(G′)、损失模量(G″)、动力学黏度( η′)都呈下降趋势。     

Proteolysis and textural properties of low‐fat ultrafiltered Feta cheese as influenced by maltodextrin

Maltodextrin was used as a fat replacer in low‐fat ultrafiltered cheese. Fat was replaced with 25% maltodextrin milk solution (w/w) in cheese at 15 and 50% (w/w). The chemical, rheological and sensory properties as well as the microstructure of the cheese samples were evaluated after storage for 2 months at 8 °C. Maltodextrin affected the chemical (pH, dry matter, fat, water‐soluble nitrogen to total nitrogen, nonprotein nitrogen to total nitrogen, total free amino acid) and rheological (mean relaxation time) properties, as well as the microstructure. In general, based on textural properties, sensory evaluation and economic aspects, the 50%‐fat‐reduced sample was selected as the best treatment.     

大豆品种对双蛋白干酪得率和品质特性的影响

用8种不同品种大豆制作的豆乳与牛奶混合,按照切达干酪生产工艺制作双蛋白切达干酪,以同批次纯牛奶制作的干酪为对照组,对产品的得率、色泽、质构和感官特性等指标进行了分析和比较。实验结果表明,各组双蛋白干酪均比纯牛奶干酪的得率高,各组双蛋白干酪之间得率存在较大差异。质构测定结果表明,不同大豆品种生产的双蛋白干酪在硬度、弹性和粘聚性等指标方面具有较大差异。感官评价中,除添加小粒豆8号豆乳的双蛋白干酪带有较浓豆腥味外,其余组与对照组相差不大。相关性分析结果表明,大豆蛋白中球蛋白和β-伴球蛋白的比值(11S/7S)与双蛋白干酪的硬度和粘聚性显著相关,而大豆的蛋白含量、脂肪含量和植酸含量等指标与双蛋白干酪的品质指标无显著相关性。     

USE OF FAT BLENDS IN CHEESE ANALOGS: INFLUENCE ON SENSORY AND INSTRUMENTAL TEXTURAL CHARACTERISTICS

Cheese analogs were prepared with the fat fraction composed of butterfat, soybean fat or soybean oil and their blends, in accordance with an experimental design of three components. The ten resulting formulations were subjected to a texture profile instrumental analysis and sensory analysis by a quantitative ranking test. Principal Component Analysis showed that the instrumental textural characteristics of hardness and adhesiveness were negatively correlated to cohesiveness and springiness, while the sensory texture characteristic of firmness was correlated negatively with elasticity and creaminess. Soybean fat confers hardness and adhesiveness to the cheese analogs, but decreases their cohesiveness and springiness, while the opposite effect is due to soybean oil and butterfat.     

Characteristics of reduced fat Cheddar cheese made from ultrafiltered milk with an exopolysaccharide-producing culture

In a previous study, ultrafiltration (UF) at 1.2x reduced residual chymosin activity and bitterness in exopolysaccharide (EPS)-positive reduced fat Cheddar cheese. The objective of this research was to study the effect of this level of concentration on the textural and functional characteristics of the reduced fat cheese. Ultrafiltration (1.2x) did not affect the hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewiness, and gumminess of EPS-positive cheese. The 6-month old UF cheeses were springier than non-UF cheeses. However, the springiness of the EPS-positive cheese made from UF milk was much lower than that of the EPS-negative cheeses. Texture of the EPS-negative cheese was more affected by UF than that of the EPS-positive cheese. Differences were seen in the extent of flow between UF and non-UF cheeses at 1 and 3-months but not after 6 months ripening. Ultrafiltration increased the elastic modulus in the 6-month old EPS-positive cheeses. Higher body and texture scores were given to EPS-positive cheeses than the EPS-negative ones. Sensory panelists found the body of the UF and non-UF cheeses to be similar.     

Improvement of sensory quality of lowfat kefalograviera-type cheese by using commercial special starter cultures

Two commercially available special starter culture systems, Alp DIP and a mixture of Alp DIP D and Joghurt V1, were compared with one commercial regular starter culture, CH-1, for their effects on the compositional, sensory and textural characteristics of lowfat (9.5%) high moisture (49.6%) Kefalograviera-type cheese during aging. A full-fat control Kefalograviera cheese (30.8% fat, 37.8% moisture) was also made with the regular starter culture. The results indicated that the type of starter did not affect the composition (moisture, fat, protein, salt and pH) of the lowfat cheese. Sensory analysis showed that the lowfat cheeses made with the special cultures received greater body and texture scores and significantly higher flavor scores than the lowfat control cheese after aging for 90 and 180 d. Moreover, the former cheeses received body and texture and flavor scores not significantly different from those of the full-fat cheese. Texture profile analysis by Instron showed that there were no significant differences in the textural characteristics (force and compression to fracture, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness) between lowfat cheeses made with the special cultures and that made with the regular starter, except for hardness which was significantly lower in the former cheeses.     

TEXTURAL CHANGES IN CHOCOLATE CHARACTERIZED BY INSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY TECHNIQUES

Cocoa butter has a distinct texture due to unique interactions of polymorphic lipid structures. Part of chocolate's appeal is smooth mouthfeel; as fat or sugar bloom forms, textural change is perceived. Correlation of instrumental and sensory texture analysis has not been conducted in stored chocolate. The objective of this study was to analyze texture and color of dark and milk chocolate stored under conditions leading to fat and/or sugar bloom by instrumental and sensory measurements. Milk and dark chocolate was stored 5 weeks at various temperatures and relative humidity (RH), followed by instrumental and sensory texture analysis. All attributes, except springiness, were significantly affected by treatments. According to partial least squares linear regression, instrumental hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness and gumminess modeled sensory hardness. The 30.0C incubator experienced temperature fluctuations, resulting in severe fat bloom. Temperature fluctuations during storage had more influence on texture perception than storage at high temperatures or high RH.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

This research serves as an initial study on textural aspects of chocolate quality upon storage that is the first report to correlate instrumental textural analysis of chocolate to sensory evaluation. Storage temperature and humidity of chocolate greatly impacts consumer texture perception, which is valuable information to small chocolate handlers and manufacturers who have noted to us that many of the larger companies may have this information – but it is not widely available. It also sets the stage for more detailed studies on texture and flavor of chocolate during storage. Although many storage studies on chocolate exist, those that intertwine studies of quality from both an instrumental and a sensory standpoint are lacking.

Instrumental Textural Profile Analysis of Soy Fortified Pressed Chilled Acid Coagulated Curd (Paneer)

Abstract

Studies were conducted to observe the effect of varying fat content in milk (0–6%) and varying proportion of soy milk (7.5°B, 0–40%) in the blend on the textural properties of Soy Fortified Paneer (SFP). Instrumental Texture Analyzer of Stable Micro System was used to measure the texture of paneer containing varying level of fat and soy solids for texturel profile analysis (TPA). Texture profile data, thus obtained, were used to develop regression models between fat content in milk and proportion of soy milk in blend with that of the dependent variable hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, springiness and adhesiveness. The high correlation coefficients of each developed model confirmed its suitability in representing experimental data. Based on to these models SFP samples prepared using a blend (15:85 v/v) of soy milk (7.5°B) and buffalo milk (3.12%) was found to be suitable for producing textural characteristics similar to that of control paneer sample.
