As in the traditional production of cheese in lambskin sacks raw cow's or sheep's milk is mostly used, the purpose of this study is to see how the production affects the microbiological quality of the cheese. To do that, we tested 39 samples of raw cow's and sheep's milk, curd, ripened cheese (15, 30 and 45 days) and lambskin sacks for native microbial population. Two-thirds of the milk, curd a...

Ras cheeses were manufactured using aqueous extract of globe artichoke or artichoke flowers (Cynara scolymus) proteinase as coagulant were compared to calf rennet. There were slight differences between chemical composition of cheese made using vegetable coagulants or calf rennet. Cheeses manufactured with artichoke extract as coagulant exhibited higher (p < 0.05) levels of water soluble nitroge...

saturated fat consumption increases the risk of both coronary and cancer diseases. therefore, fat reduction in uf-feta cheese (≈ 45% fdm) is favorable but, unfortunately, it has some negative effects on the texture and sensory characteristics of the cheese. in this research, response surface methodology was employed to study the probably improving effects of wpc80 (0-20 gr kg-1), lecithin (0-2 ...

We sought to determine if the time, within a production day, that a cheese is manufactured has an influence on the microbial community present within that cheese. To facilitate this, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to elucidate the microbial community dynamics of brine-salted continental-type cheese in cheeses produced early and late in the production day. Differences in the microbial com...

OBJECTIVES A high soft drink intake may promote, whereas intake of cheese may reduce risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but will cheese intake blunt the soft drink versus MetS association? DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING The Oslo Health Study. PARTICIPANTS Among the 18 770 participants of the Oslo Health Study there were 5344 men and 6150 women having data on cheese and soft dri...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant in bovine milk and milk derived from other livestock, and they have functional roles in infants and in the secretion process of mammary glands. However, few studies have evaluated miRNAs in dairy processes, such as during cheese making and ripening. Thus, we investigated the characteristics of milk-derived miRNAs during the manufacturing and ripening of Camembert...

Functional attributes of cheese such as shreddability and melt are dramatically affected by cheese moisture level. Previous work by our group has demonstrated that the addition of Streptococcus thermophilus MR1C, a strain that produces a large capsular exopolysaccharide (EPS+), to cheese results in a significant increase in the cheese moisture level. The objectives of this study were to determi...

The genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from ovine cheese is presented here. This bacterium is proposed as a starter strain, named 19L3, for Slovenská bryndza cheese, a traditional Slovak cheese fulfilling European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) requirements.

1 What is the ideal milk composition for cheese manufacture? How close is Wisconsin milk to that ideal, and how does it compare with milk from other leading dairy states? What can Wisconsin's dairy farmers and cheese processors do to ensure that milk produced in the state improves the state's cheese industry from farm to wholesale product? These questions are addressed in this report, which sup...

449 Abstract: Low-fat Edam cheese was manufactured using conventional cheese-making procedures using low-fat milk (1.5% fat). The cheese samples were aged for six months at 5 to 6°C. The cheese was analyzed for biochemical characteristics and peptide content. The peptide contents were determined with reverse phase chromatography. The association property of proteins and peptides in the soluble ...
