Flavor of Cheddar Cheese: A Chemical and Sensory Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Considerable knowledge has been accumulated on the biochemical processes occurring during ripening of Cheddar cheese, which in turn has major consequences on flavor and texture development. The present review outlines major metabolic pathways and agents involved in the modification of milk constituents in Cheddar cheese ripening. Mechanisms of volatile flavor and off-flavor production and recent developments in the analysis, both sensory and instrumental, of Cheddar flavor and flavor compounds are also detailed here.

Monitoring Composition and Flavor Quality of Cheddar Cheese during Ripening Using a Rapid Spectroscopic Method
About 9.13 billion pounds of cheese is produced in the US every year, of which 34% is Cheddar cheese (NASS, 2007). Cheddar cheese composition and flavor quality, which influence the consumer acceptance, price and food processing application, develop during the ripening process. Cheese ripening or maturation is a slow process (2-24 months) characterized by series of complex physical, chemical, a...
متن کاملCharacterization of alkylmethoxypyrazines contributing to earthy/bell pepper flavor in farmstead cheddar cheese.
Farmstead Cheddar cheeses with natural bandage wrappings have a distinctive flavor profile that is appealing to many consumers. An earthy/bell pepper (EBP) flavor has been previously recognized in some of these cheeses. This study characterized the alkylmethoxypyrazine compounds causing EBP flavor in Farmstead Cheddar cheeses. Eight cheeses were divided into inner, outer, rind, and wrapper sect...
متن کاملMicroencapsulated Iron Fortification and Flavor Development in Cheddar Cheese
This study was designed to examine the effect of microencapsulated iron-fortified Cheddar cheese and L-ascorbic acid as a bioavailable helper of iron on chemical and sensory aspects. Coating material was PGMS, and ferric ammonium sulfate and Lascorbic acid were selected as core materials. The highest efficiency of microencapsulation of iron and L-ascorbic acid were 72 and 94%, respectively, wit...
متن کاملEnhanced nutty flavor formation in cheddar cheese made with a malty Lactococcus lactis adjunct culture.
Nutty flavor in Cheddar cheese is desirable, and recent research demonstrated that 2- and 3-methyl butanal and 2-methyl propanal were primary sources of nutty flavors in Cheddar. Because malty strains of Lac-tococcus lactis (formerly Streptococcus lactis var. malti-genes) are characterized by the efficient production of these and other Strecker aldehydes during growth, this study investigated t...
متن کاملCholesterol Removal and Flavor Development in Cheddar Cheese
This study was carried out to find a cholesterol removal rate, flavor development and bitter amino acid productions in Cheddar cheese treated with β-cyclodextrin (CD): 1) Control (no homogenization, no β-CD), and 2) Milk treatment (1000 psi milk homogenization, 1% β-CD). The cholesterol removal of the cheese was 79.3%. The production of short-chain free fatty acids (FFA) increased with a ripeni...
