Abstract In this work, we determined optimum ripening time of hard cooked cheeses made by traditional technology or an innovative process aimed at accelerating flavor formation. For that purpose, applied survival analysis statistics. Experimental cheese making (E) included homogenization milk fat, unpasteurized milk, changes in cooking temperature, and a curd-washing step, while (T) followed cl...
