Curd-Forming Techniques for Making Pizza Cheese by Direct Acidification Procedures

Improving Curd-Forming Properties of Homogenized Milk

Listeriosis outbreak caused by acid curd cheese Quargel , Austria and Germany 2009.

We report an outbreak of listeriosis in Austria and Germany due to the consumption of Quargel cheese produced by an Austrian manufacturer. At the time of writing this report, the outbreak was known to account for 14 outbreak cases in 2009, including four cases with lethal outcome.

Some parameters to process camel milk into cheese

Cheese from camel milk was never produced by traditional way. However, Hansen (Denmark) delivered recently new coagulant agent named “Chy-Max M” containing transgenic camel chymosine. In the present study, impact of calcium, lactation stage and curd acidification were investigated. Camel milk was shared into 6 samples (100g each) submitted to 3 types of treatment (1. calcium chloride solution (...

Possibilities for Radiocesium Decontamination of Kefalograviera Cheese Through Modifications of the Standard Manufacture Method

The transfer of radiocesium during all phases of kefalograviera cheese making was monitored, and the corresponding transfer coefficients were determined. To reduce the radiocesium concentration of the final product, modifications of the standard cheese making procedure, as single and double curd washing, were investigated. The transfer coefficients from milk to cheese were determined as .33 and...

Effect of Draw pH on the Development of Curd Structure During the Manufacture of Mozzarella Cheese

The impact of varying the pH of whey at whey drainage (5.9, 6.15 or 6.4) on the development of curd structure during the manufacture of Mozzarella cheese was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Dramatic changes in curd structure were apparent with stage of manufacture , in particular the stretching step which aligned the protein fibers. Of additional interest is the effect of draw ...
