The effect of varying casein/fat ratio on physicochemical and sensory qualities of Feta‐type cheese made using buffalo milk

The Feta‐type cheese was prepared with different casein/fat (C/F) ratios of buffalo milk using microbial rennet. The manufactured Feta cheeses were subjected to physicochemical and sensory quality at 15‐day interval up to 60 days of ripening. Sensory analysis discriminated the different level of C/F ratio of buffalo milk cheeses predominantly by age. There was no significant difference (P < 0.01) observed in cheese made from C/F ratio of 0.6–0.7 in terms of flavour. The titratable acidity (TA), soluble protein and free fatty acid appear to be age‐dependent and increased throughout the ripening in all experimental cheeses.     

Comparison of Cheeses Made from Milk Having Normal and High Oleic Fatty Acid Compositions

Calcium salts of high‐oleic sunflower oil (> 86% oleic acid) were prepared and fed at 0% and 7.5% of diet dry matter weight to 8 Holstein cows in early‐ to mid‐lactation in a cross‐over experimental design. Oleic acid content of milk fat increased from 26% to over 40% and cholesterol‐raising saturates were reduced from 41% to 33%. Latin American white cheese, queso blanco, was produced from modified and normal milk. No differences in firmness were found between cheeses using penetration‐compression testing with an Instron machine. Sensory difference tests indicated no significant differences between cheeses. Latin American white cheeses made with high oleic milk are similar to traditional cheese.     

Influence of composition on the biochemical and sensory characteristics of commercial Cheddar cheese of variable quality and fat content

Ten commercial Cheddar cheeses of variable quality differing in fat content and age were subjected to compositional, proteolytic, lipolytic and sensory analyses. The compositional parameters of the full-fat cheeses were predominantly outside those typically associated with good-quality cheese. Sensory analysis discriminated the full-fat cheeses predominantly by age, with the longer ripened cheeses associated with more negative attributes, some which appeared to be due to excessive lipolysis and/or β-casein breakdown. Both proteolysis and lipolysis appear to be age dependent. The two reduced-fat cheeses were clearly discriminated from the eight full-fat cheeses by sensory analysis that appeared to be due to differences in composition and the extent of lipolysis.     

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.     

Reduced-fat Cheddar cheese from a mixture of cream and liquid milk protein concentrate

Reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (RFC) was manufactured from standardized milk (casein/fat, C/F ˜ 1.8), obtained by (1) mixing whole milk (WM) and skim milk (SM) (control) or (2) mixing liquid milk protein concentrate (LMPC) and 35% fat cream (experimental). The percentage yield, total solid (TS) and fat recoveries in the experimental RFC were 22.0, 63.0 and 89.5 compared to 9.0, 50.7 and 87.0 in the control RFC, respectively. The average % moisture, fat, protein, salt and lactose were 40.7, 15.3, 32.8, 1.4 and 0.07%, respectively, in the experimental cheese and 39.3, 15.4, 33.0, 1.3 and 0.10%, respectively, in the control cheese. No growth of nonstarter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) was detected in the control or the experimental cheeses up to 3 months of ripening. After 6 months of ripening, the experimental cheese had 10⁷ cfu NSLAB/g compared to 10⁶ cfu/g in the control. The control cheese had higher levels of water-soluble nitrogen (WSN) and total free amino acids after 6 months of ripening than the experimental cheese. Sensory analysis showed that the experimental cheeses had lower intensities of milk fat and fruity flavours and decreased bitterness but higher intensities of sulphur and brothy flavours than in the control cheese. The experimental cheeses were less mature compared to the control after 270 days of ripening. It can be concluded from the results of this study that LMPC can be used in the manufacture of RFC to improve yield, and fat and TS recovery. However, proteolysis in cheese made with LMPC and cream is slower than that made with WM and SM.     

Ripening of cheddar cheese with added attenuated adjunct cultures of lactobacilli

We made Milled curd Cheddar cheese with Lactococcus starter and an adjunct culture of Lactobacillus helveticus I or Lactobacillus casei T subjected to different attenuation treatments: freeze shocking (FS), heat shocking (HS), or spray drying (SD). Proteolysis during cheese ripening (0 to 6 mo), measured by urea-PAGE and water-soluble nitrogen, indicated only minor differences between control and most adjunct-treated cheeses. However, there were significant differences in the effect of Lactobacillus adjuncts on the level of free amino nitrogen in cheese. Cheeses made with FS or HS Lb. helveticus adjunct exhibited significantly greatest rates of free amino group formation. Lipolysis as measured by total free fatty acids was consistently highest in adjunct-treated cheeses, and FS Lb. casei-treated cheeses showed the highest rate of free fatty acid formation followed by FS Lb. helveticus treated cheeses. Mean flavor and aroma scores were significantly higher for cheeses made with Lb. helveticus strain. Freeze-shocked Lb. helveticus-treated cheeses obtained the highest flavor and aroma scores. Sensory evaluation indicated that most of the adjunct-treated cheeses promoted better texture and body quality.     

Effect of wild strains used as starter cultures and adjunct cultures on the volatile compounds of the Pecorino Siciliano cheese

The effect of six wild strains on the volatile profile of the PS cheese was investigated and compared to that generated from industrial starters generally used to produce PS cheese. All cheeses were subjected to microbiological, physicochemical, and volatile compounds analyses. The DGGE of the 16S rDNA analysis was also applied. The volatile compounds generated during ripening were studied through the SPME and the GC-MS methods. No difference was detected between the experimental and control cheeses throughout chemical and microbiological analyses, while the DGGE results showed the presence of Streptococcus thermophilus in all cheeses, and the dominance of Enterococcus durans, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus casei in most of the experimental cheeses. Moreover, the presence of Lactococcus lactis species as in the control and in the experimental P2 and P4 cheeses was also revealed. The SPME results showed more pronounced volatile compounds in the experimental cheese samples than in the control ones.     

Sensory evaluation of probiotic Minas fresh cheese with Lactobacillus acidophilus added solely or in co-culture with a thermophilic starter culture

Sensory acceptance of formulations of probiotic Minas fresh cheese was investigated. Cheeses were prepared and supplemented with Lactobacillus acidophilus (T1 – probiotic), Lactobacillus acidophilus + Streptococcus thermophilus (T2 – probiotic + starter) or produced with no addition of cultures (T3 – control). Sensory acceptance tests were performed after 7 and 14 days of storage at 5 °C, using a 9‐point hedonic scale (1 = dislike extremely; 9 = like extremely). After 7 days, no significant difference was detected among cheeses T1, T2 and T3 (P > 0.05). After 14 days, cheeses T1 and T2 presented higher acceptance and differed significantly from cheeses T3. Cheeses T3 presented significant difference between 7 and 14 days of storage (P < 0.05), whereas probiotic cheeses T1 and T2 were stable in the same period (P > 0.05). The addition of L. acidophilus, either solely or in co‐culture with a thermophilic starter culture, resulted in good acceptance of Minas fresh cheese, improving sensory performance of the product during storage.
