Bitterness-masking compounds were identified in a natural white mold cheese. The oily fraction of the cheese was extracted and further fractionated by using silica gel column chromatography. The four fractions obtained were characterized by thin-layer chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fatty acid-containing fraction was found to have the highest bitterness-masking a...

Mozzarella cheese from buffalo milk is a fresh, stringy-textured dairy product, exhibiting a porcelain white colour, a smooth, bright, and humid surface, an extremely thin rind and delicate taste. The high humidity typical of this cheese reduces its shelf-life and it is cause of dramatic organoleptic changes during storage. In this study we tested sonoelastography to evaluate texture changes of...

In this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. Results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

In the current study, probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei KC39 was immobilized on wheat bran as a carrier. The synbiotic biocatalyst freeze-dried and used an adjunct during production of functional soft white cheese. Free Lc. cells control cheese with commercial starter were for comparison. addition to fiber content 1.12%, made using showed higher cell viabilities in gastric intestinal phase...

The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance among Staphylococcus aureus and to estimate the presence of methicillin-resistance in S. aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. For this purposes, 100 Iranian white and feta cheese samples collected from different suppliers were initially evaluated for the occ...

in this investigation aflatoxin contamination of eighty different iranian white cheeses were determined by t.l.c. method. the result of this study showed that, 97.5% of the samples contained aflatoxin m1 & m2 which are transferred from milk. as far as direct contamination, 30% of the samples contained aflatoxin b1, g1, g2, from which 2.5% contained aflatoxin b1, 5% contained aflatoxin b2, 20% c...

background: in order to avoid potential harm of synthetic additives food, development of novel functional foods containing natural ingredients is considered in current years. in this study, inhibitory effect of echinophora platyloba essential oil (eo) on growth of aspergillus flavus was evaluated in culture media and cheese. methods: e. platyloba eo was extracted by hydrodistillation method usi...

Antifungal activity of essential oils (EOs) of Zataria multiflora (thyme) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) against Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin B1 production was studied in potato dextrose agar (PDA) and potato dextrose broth (PDB), as well as in Iranian white cheese as a food model. The results showed that the inhibitory potential of EOs in the PDB medium is more than PDA medium. Clo...
