Three diets for cows were used to evaluate the effect of extruded linseed (EL) or extruded linseed plus alpha-tocopherol (ELVE) supplementation of a maize silage diet (CO) on the odor-active compounds of Saint-Nectaire cheese. Cheese odor and flavor profiles were studied by sensory analysis. The volatile compounds were extracted by purge and trap and separated by gas chromatography. The odor co...

Stretchability is one of the most important functional properties of Mozzarella cheese, but no objective and widely accepted technique exists for evaluation; most of the cheese stretchability tests are influenced by the ambient conditions. This paper demonstrates a technique, which is novel and relatively simple, to evaluate the stretchability of Mozzarella cheese objectively. In an oil bath, m...

A study was made of the impact of nonuniform moisture distribution in 290 kg blocks of cheese on the accuracy of sampling the cheese for moisture content. The range of moisture from center to outside surfaces of the blocks was about 5%. The temperature gradient, developed in the first 24-48 h after cheese making, drove the moisture migration from warm to cold areas in the cheese blocks during i...

Lack of valid economic data for artisan cheese making is a serious impediment to developing a realistic business plan and obtaining financing. The objective of this study was to determine approximate start-up and operating costs for an artisan cheese company. In addition, values are provided for the required size of processing and aging facilities associated with specific production volumes. Fo...

Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short term frozen storage of milk and curd on textural properties and physico-chemical composition of white brined goat cheese. Raw milk and curds (at various stages of pressing) were frozen and kept for seven days at -27 °C. Following the freezing, all the experimental cheeses were manufactured by the standard procedure, the same that wa...

After the fermentation of bovine milk by lactic acid bacteria, rennet was added, and then the curd was formed by incubating at 30°C for 12 hours in the presence of soy protein isolate (SI) or 7S globulin (7S). Cheese was produced from the cooked curd. The texture of the curd and the cheese was studied by break down and cutting tests, respectively. In the break down test of the curd, the order o...

increasing incidence of food-borne disease along with its social and economic consequences have led to conducting extensive research in order to produce safer food and develop new antimicrobial agents; among them, extensive use of probiotics and bacteriocins as biological additives is of significant importance. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions (growth behavior and s...

In this study, we present the first complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus rennini ACA-DC 565, a strain isolated from a traditional Greek overripened Kopanisti cheese called Mana. Although the species has been associated with cheese spoilage, the strain ACA-DC 565 may contribute to the intense organoleptic characteristics of Mana cheese.

Recent outbreaks of human tuberculosis in the United States caused by Mycobacterium bovis have implicated cheese originating in Mexico as a source of these infections. A total of 203 samples of cheese originating in Mexico were cultured, and M. bovis was recovered from one specimen. Therefore, M. bovis can be recovered from cheese and may be a source of human infections.

background and objective: during cheese ripening, some of water insoluble casein change to water soluble nitrogen which are include intermediate hydrohysate protein and free amino acids. materials and methods: these enzymes save their activities in pasteurization temperature and also uht processing. in this study effect of number of pscyrotroph bacteria on physical and chemical properties on uf...
