OBJECTIVE We present two adult and three paediatric patients who had allergic reactions after cheese ingestion and subsequently tolerated cow's milk derivatives. The objective of this study was to determine possible cross-reactivity between different types of cheese. METHODS Skin tests were performed to cow's milk fractions, and prick-prick tests for goat, sheep and cow cheese. Specific IgE t...

Bovine and caprine Monterey Jack cheeses were produced unfortified (cheese) or fortified with milk calcium (Ca-cheese). Five groups of male rats were fed a control diet or one of four experimental diets: bovine cheese diet, bovine Ca-cheese diet, caprine cheese diet, and caprine Ca-cheese diet to test their effects on calcium absorption as well as bone mineralization. Significant differences (P...

cheese has high nutritional value in human health although is naturally poor in essential fatty acids. essential fatty acids revealed crucial roles in nutritional diet and have been suggested as disease prevention agent. protulaca oleracea (purslane) has considerable amounts of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids as well as magnesium, potassium and vitamin c. the aim of this study is production and ch...

Salted and unsalted nonfat mozzarella cheese was made by direct acidification and stored at 4 degrees C over 60 d. Changes in cheese opacity were measured by using reflectance L* values while the cheese was heated from 10 to 90 degrees C, then cooled to 10 degrees C, and reheated to 90 degrees C. A characteristic opacity transition temperature (T(OP)) was obtained for each cheese. Both salt con...

Ras cheese samples were found to be predominantly infested with A. siro mite. Clove, thyme, rosemary and citrus essential oils showed effective acaricidal activity against Ras cheese mites (A. siro). essential oil. However, treatments of clove or rosemary essential oil negatively affected the cheese flavor. However, degree of acaricidal activity varied according to the type and concentration of...

Cheese is generally considered a safe and nutritious food, but foodborne illnesses linked to cheese consumption have occurred in many countries. Several microbial risk assessments related to Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli infections, causing cheese-related foodborne illnesses, have been conducted. Although the assessments of microbial risk in soft and low mo...

The objective of this study was to develop yogurt-cheese using cow's milk, ultrafiltrated cow's milk, and soy milk. The addition of soy milk and ultrafiltrated milk increased the amount of protein in the yogurt-cheese. Yogurt-cheeses were made using cheese base using 10% and 20% soy milk with raw and ultrafiltrated cow's milk, and stored at 4℃ during 2 wk. The yield of yogurt-cheeses made with ...

The objective of this research was to use a Rapid Visco Analyzer to study the effect of natural cheese age, trisodium citrate (TSC) concentration, and mixing speed on process cheese food (PCF) functionality. In this study 3 replicates of natural cheese were manufactured, and a portion of each cheese was subjected to 6 different PCF manufacturing treatments at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 18 wk of ripening....

For convenience, many cheese varieties, including Cheddar, are available preshredded in translucent modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Although flavor development in traditional Cheddar cheese has been well documented (Christensen and Reineccius, 1995; Dunn and Lindsay, 1985; Engels and Visser, 1994; Fox et al., 1995; Manning, 1978; Urbach, 1995), little is known about the flavor chemistry of...

Cheese analogue is a substitute for milk cheese, which is similar in composition, appearance, characteristics and even in its intended use. In cheese analogues, the milk protein and milk fat are partly or wholly replaced by vegetable proteins (i.e. peanut protein, soybean protein) and vegetable fats and oils (i.e. partly hydrogenated vegetable fat like soybean, palm, etc). Cheese analogue are f...
