Our objective was to determine the effect of heating on the structure of nonfat Mozzarella cheese, and then to relate changes in structure to changes in cheese opacity. Cheese was made according to a direct-acid, stirred-curd procedure. Cheese samples, at 4◦C, were taken on d 1 and placed into glass bottles, which were sealed and heated. Once the cheese reached 10◦C or 50◦C, the bottles were pl...
