辅助发酵剂加速Provolone干酪成熟的研究

将瑞士乳杆菌6024作为辅助发酵剂添加到Provolone干酪中,加速Provolone干酪成熟,研究了其对干酪游离氨基酸、游离脂肪酸、质构特性、电镜、风味物质的影响。结果表明,瑞士乳杆菌6024作为辅助发酵剂对干酪中游离脂肪酸质量分数没有显著影响,但能显著增加干酪游离氨基酸质量分数,60 d时达到对照组90 d时的质量分数,此时干酪的质构特性、微观结构、风味物质与对照组90 d时差异不显著。由此可知,瑞士乳杆菌6024作为辅助发酵剂可加速Provolone干酪的成熟,缩短成熟时间。     

提高成熟温度对加速硬质干酪成熟的影响

本文通过对4 ℃、10 ℃、20 ℃条件下硬质干酪成熟90 d过程中干酪的成熟特性进行研究,通过测定干酪在成熟期间可溶性氮含量、微观结构改变情况、pH的值改变、游离脂肪酸含量的改变、风味物质种类和含量的变化、感官得分的变化分析表明：成熟温度的提高对干酪可溶性氮含量、游离脂肪酸含量、风味物质的种类和含量的增加都有显著的促进作用,其中10 ℃下经60 d成熟和20 ℃下经30 d成熟的干酪的可溶性氮含量、游离脂肪酸含量、风味物质种类已经等同于或者大于4 ℃下经90 d成熟的酪所具有的;而且提高成熟温度后,4 ℃成熟90 d的样品同10 ℃成熟60 d的样品以及20 ℃成熟30 d的样品微观结构相差不大。虽然20 ℃下也能在一定程度加速硬质干酪的成熟,但是会对风味和组织状态产生不良影响;所以可以将硬质干酪的成熟温度提高到10 ℃。     

一种植物乳杆菌对干酪模型成熟中微生物及蛋白质水解的影响

采用无菌条件下生产的新鲜干酪凝块制作干酪模型,以WSN,12%TCASN和氨基酸含量等为指标测定植物乳杆菌SP-3对其的促熟作用。微生物测定表明SP-3在干酪模型的成熟过程中(12d)能保持较高的浓度;WSN结果表明SP-3对干酪中蛋白质的初级水解无显著影响;12%TCASN的结果表明SP-3影响了干酪中小肽的形成;5%PTA-SN和总游离氨基酸浓度测定结果表明植物乳杆菌SP-3促进了体系中游离氨基酸的产生;游离氨基酸的分析显示谷氨酸、亮氨酸、组氨酸的含量明显高于对照组,而丝氨酸、赖氨酸、脯氨酸的含量低于对照组。以上结果表明,植物乳杆菌SP-3能加快干酪体系中蛋白质的水解进程,具有促进干酪成熟的作用。     

植物乳杆菌S72对高达干酪品质的影响

以实验室自主分离的一株具有优良功能特性的植物乳杆菌(Lactobacillus plantarum) S72为辅助发酵剂,制备高达干酪(Gouda),研究植物乳杆菌S72对干酪理化指标、质构、活菌数、游离氨基酸及游离脂肪酸等的影响。结果表明:与商品发酵剂组相比,添加L.plantarum S72作为辅助发酵剂的Gouda干酪,在干酪成熟末期,L. plantarum S72保持较高的活菌数,对干酪的理化指标及质构特性无不良影响。L. plantarum S72提高了Gouda干酪成熟过程中WSE/TN和70%Ethanol-SN的含量,显著增加了PTA-SN的含量。L.plantarum S72后有助于Gouda干酪成熟过程中游离氨基酸的生成。这些结果说明添加L. plantarum S72作为辅助发酵剂不会影响Gouda干酪的质地,并且对Gouda干酪成熟过程中的风味有促进作用。     

不同菌种大豆干酪后熟过程的研究

研究了3种不同大豆干酪后熟过程的变化情况。结果表明,L.rhamnosus+S.carnosus大豆干酪具有最低的pH和最高的酸度,同时具有最高的氨基氮含量和最高的活菌数。游离氨基酸分析表明,L.rhamnosus+S.carnosus大豆干酪中的游离氨基酸总量最高;L.rhamnosus大豆干酪降解产生的游离氨基酸以谷氨酸和精氨酸为主,S.carnosus大豆干酪和L.rhamnosus+S.carnosus大豆干酪降解产生的游离氨基酸则以色氨酸为主。脂肪酸分析表明,L.rhamnosus+S.carnosus大豆干酪C20以上的长链脂肪酸得到更加充分的降解。     

新疆特色酸凝奶酪成熟过程中产生的非挥发性风味物质研究

非挥发性风味物质对奶酪的口味有重要影响,文中对酸凝奶酪成熟过程中非挥发性风味物质含量的变化进行了研究,结果表明:随着奶酪成熟时间的延长有机酸总量和各种有机酸含量变化差异极显著(P<0.01),主要有机酸乳酸含量最高达到10.75 mg/g;各种游离氨基酸含量处于动态变化过程,总游离氨基酸含量变化显著(P<0.05),缬氨酸和亮氨酸是优势氨基酸,最大含量为35.19 mg/100 g和27.06 mg/100 g;游离脂肪酸总量变化差异极显著(P<0.01)。随着成熟时间的延长,奶酪的营养价值更高,口味更浓郁。     

发酵剂用量对硬质蒙古干酪蛋白质、脂类水解和微观结构的影响

该文通过添加不同发酵剂用量制作了3种硬质蒙古干酪,并对硬质蒙古干酪的理化性质、蛋白质和脂肪水解程度、微观结构等进行了研究。结果表明,随着发酵剂用量增多,除D-乳酸含量外,其他理化指标均随发酵剂用量的增大而减小;粗蛋白质和粗脂肪的含量减少;pH 4.6-可溶性氮（SN）含量和12%三氯乙酸（TCA）-SN含量均增加,表明干酪中蛋白质和脂肪的水解程度增大;游离氨基酸和游离脂肪酸的含量增加,表明干酪的风味物质增多。随着发酵剂用量的增多,干酪酸化速度加快,质地相对松散。最终确定发酵剂使用量为1.0 g/L,在此条件下,脂肪和蛋白质的水解程度适中,游离氨基酸种类丰富,能够满足干酪风味化合物生成的需求。

Proteolytic and lipolytic changes during the ripening of a Spanish craft goat cheese (Armada variety)

The proteolytic and lipolytic changes during the ripening process were investigated in four batches of Armada goat's milk cheese (an artisanal variety produced in the North of Spain), by determining the classical nitrogen fractions, caseins and their degradation products, free amino acids, as well as the acidity of the fat, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) number and free fatty acids. Values obtained for the nitrogen fractions and for caseins and their degradation products show that this cheese undergoes very little protein degradation. A low free amino acids content was observed throughout the ripening process with a predominance of Pro followed by Leu+Ile, Glu acid, Phe, His+Lys and Val. The lipid degrada-tion was very intense from the second month of ripening, only comparable to that reported for cheeses ripened by moulds. The average free fatty acids content increased 20-fold during ripening, reaching final values of 44·5 g kg⁻¹. All the free fatty acids increased considerably during ripening, resulting in a predominance of saturated and unsaturated long-chain acids, followed by medium-chain acids, C₁₀ principally. Short-chain fatty acid content by the end of ripening was higher than that presented in other cheese varieties with a similar high degree of lipolysis. © 1997 SCI.     

Proteolytic and lipolytic changes during the ripening of León raw cow's milk cheese, a Spanish traditional variety

Proteolytic and lipolytic changes were studied throughout ripening of five batches of León cow's milk cheese, a traditional variety made in the north of Spain. Total soluble nitrogen, non-protein nitrogen, oligopeptides nitrogen, amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen fractions increased slightly during the ripening process. The final values of these nitrogen fractions indicate that this cheese undergoes a very slight proteolysis as much in extent as in depth. This weak protein degradation is corroborated when the caseins and their degradation products were quantified by electrophoresis. β-Casein stayed practically intact throughout the ripening process and only 10% of α_s-casein became degraded. The content of total free amino acids increased progressively but in a slightly increased way during ripening, reaching final average values of 592 mg (100 g)⁻¹ of total solids. The most abundant free amino acid at the end of ripening was lysine, followed by leucine, glutamic acid, tryptophan, valine and phenylalanine. The acidity index of the fat values increased during ripening by a factor of 4.39. The final values of this parameter are in the range of those observed in other cow's milk cheeses ripened by bacteria. The content in total free fatty acids underwent an increase throughout ripening reaching final average values of 6669 ppm. The most abundant free fatty acid at the end of ripening was oleic acid followed by butyric and palmitic acids. The high content of short-chain fatty acids is outstanding, specially that of butyric acid.     

1984 Award to professor Y. Pomeranz for advancement of application of agricultural and food chemistry

Differences in chemical and free amino acid compositions, microstructure and sensory quality during pickling were found between Kariesh cheese made from lactose-hydrolyzed milk and a control.Sodium caseinate and essential free amino acids are considered to be the proteinaceous and free amino acids components of this type of cheese. Differences in flavour between the two cheese types are assumed to be due to differences in free amino acid contents during pickling. The microstructure of the ripened experimental cheese was more homogeneous than that of the control cheese.Protein degradation, free amino acid concentration and fusion of casein micelles in the cheese protein matrix were increased, and the organoleptic quality of Kariesh cheese was improved, when β-galactosidase was added to the cheese milk before processing.     

处理发酵剂对促熟干酪中生物胺和游离氨基酸的影响

The effect of three different ripening/storage conditions on the distribution of selected parameters in individual parts of Dutch‐type cheese

The aim of the study was (i) to detect changes of dry matter, NaCl and twenty‐two free amino acids contents, pH and levels of selected microorganisms in four layers of cheese (from edge to core) during ripening and storage period and (ii) to describe the changes of the above‐mentioned parameters caused by early relocation of cheese from optimum ripening conditions to refrigeration temperatures. The number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria differed significantly (P < 0.05) during the experiment dependent on the analysed layer and ripening/storage conditions. The free amino acid content differed significantly in individual analysed layers of cheese and also according to individual ripening/storage conditions. The highest content of free amino acids was found in samples stored at optimal ripening temperatures. Cheese hardness was also analysed and the lowest one was detected in samples ripened under optimal temperatures for the whole period. Early release of cheeses into storage rooms with lower temperature significantly affected properties of these products.     

Changes in the microbiological and chemical characteristics of an artisanal, low-fat cheese made from raw ovine milk during ripening

Changes in the microbial flora of batzos cheese made from raw ovine milk were studied during ripening. Lactic acid bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae were the predominant groups of micro-organisms. Cheeses manufactured in summer had higher microbial counts than those made in spring, with the exception of staphylococci. Nevertheless, Enterobacteriaceae and coliforms decreased more rapidly in cheese made in summer and counts at the end of storage were lower than those in spring cheese.
Enterococci predominated in the ripened curd of cheese made in spring, whereas lactobacilli were the most abundant lactic acid bacteria in cheese made in summer. Enterococcus faecium was the predominant species in spring, and Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei predominated in cheese made in summer. The pH of the cheeses was > 5.0 throughout ripening, and NaCl-in-moisture content (> 8.0%) permitted the growth and survival of salt-tolerant micro-organisms. α_s1-Casein degraded at a faster rate than β-casein; both caseins were hydrolysed more rapidly in spring than in summer. The free amino acid content became higher in summer cheese (566.24–3460.25 µg/g of glycine equivalent) than in spring cheese because of the progress of ripening. Moreover, the milk fat of the cheese was degraded more in the summer than in the spring. The results suggest that there could be advantages to using starter cultures and improving the level of hygiene during milk and cheese production in order to eliminate undesirable micro-organisms and standardize cheese quality.     

Biochemical changes during the ripening of homemade 'San Simón da Costa' raw milk cheese

'San Simón da Costa' cheese is a traditional smoked variety produced in the northwest of Spain from cow's milk. Biochemical changes were determined during its ripening. Its high calcium and phosphorus content and its low NaCl and sodium content stand out. This cheese undergoes moderate proteolysis. The most abundant free amino acid at the end of the ripening was glutamic acid, followed by tryptophan, leucine, arginine and phenylalanine. The lipolysis throughout ripening is slight; the most abundant free fatty acid being oleic, followed by palmitic and butyric acid.     

Evolution of free amino acids during ripening of Caciocavallo cheeses made with different milks

The evolution of free amino acids (FAA) in Caciocavallo cheeses, made with cow milk (CC) and cow milk mixed with ewe (CE) and goat (CG) milk, was studied throughout ripening. In all Caciocavallo cheeses produced, the total free amino acid (TFAA) content increased during ripening. In general, the highest TFAA content was found in cow cheeses, and the lowest in CG cheeses, whereas CE cheeses ranged over an intermediate level. In all the analyzed samples, during ripening, the content of the individual FAA increased with the exception of arginine. Tyrosine and histidine were found only in CE samples from the middle to the end of ripening. The major FAA found throughout the whole ripening period, in all types of cheese, were leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, valine, asparagine, γ-aminobutyric acid, and ornithine. The TFAA and several AA showed significant differences in ripening time, whereas tyrosine and histidine showed significant differences in kinds of milk.     

Effect of the inclusion of artichoke silage in the ration of lactating ewes on the properties of milk and cheese characteristics during ripening

The effect of including artichoke silage in the rations of dairy ewes on milk characteristics and biochemical changes of ripened cheeses was evaluated. Four groups of lactating ewes were fed rations containing 0, 10, 20, or 30% artichoke silage on a dry matter basis. Bulk milk samples were collected 3 times during the feeding period, and semi-hard cheeses were manufactured and sampled during ripening. Milk composition and cheese yield were not affected by diet. Inclusion of 20 and 30% artichoke silage reduced the firmness of the curds at a level only detected by the Gelograph (Gelograph-NT, Gel-Instrumente, Thalwil, Switzerland) probe. Inclusion of artichoke silage in ewes’ diet decreased fat and total free fatty acids content of these cheeses and increased total free amino acids content. Despite the effect of diet on cheese ripening characteristics, the overall sensory scores for cheeses corresponding to artichoke silage diets were statistically higher than those for the control cheeses.
