Our objective was to develop a rapid method for measuring fat, protein, solids, and salt content of Cheddar cheese using a mid-infrared (MIR) transmittance analysis. Currently, quality assurance is done using near-infrared (NIR). For MIR analysis, Cheddar cheese (about 9 g) was blended with a sodium metasilicate solution (about 85 g). Cheese was blended to a uniform particle size (about 3 to 4 ...

Some lactic acid bacteria strains in milk media are capable of releasing bioactive peptides. In this study, we evaluated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)inhibitory activity of 180 lactic acid bacteria and selected several Lactobacillus helveticus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. casei strains that demonstrated strong ACE-inhibitory activity. The aim was to carry out a molecular s...

(+)-Catechin, the representative catechin in green tea, was incorporated into a full-fat cheese (at 125-500 ppm) followed by ripening for 90 days at 8 °C and digesting for six hours. Determination of pH, proximate composition, total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AA) after manufacture and ripening demonstrated that the addition of (+)-catechin significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decrease...

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical and microbiological analysis of soya cheese and compare with cow milk cheese and raw soya. Fat content is lower and protein content is higher in soya cheese than cow milk cheese. Moisture, ash, fat, total carbohydrate, total energy, pH, total chlorides and Total solids are significantly higher in cow milk cheese than soya cheese. Cheese yield,...

The aim of the study was to compare the minerals and lactic acid profile of Cheddar cheese prepared from cow and buffalo milk. Milks standardized at 4% fat level were used to prepare Cheddar cheese. The cheese was prepared and stored for 120 days ripening at 4°C. Chemical composition and minerals contents were determined at one month intervals during ripening. Lactic acid concentration was esti...

Context: Cheese may affect lipids and lipoproteins differently than other high-fat dairy foods. Objective: The present systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate randomized controlled trials that examined the effect of cheese consumption compared with another food product on blood lipids and lipoproteins. Data Sources: A systematic literature search of the MEDLINE, Embase, Sc...

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...

BACKGROUND Calcium from different dairy sources might affect blood lipids and fecal fat excretion differently because of differences in the food matrix and nutritional composition. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether milk- and cheese-based diets with similar calcium contents affect a saturated fatty acid-induced increase in blood lipids differently. DESIGN Fifteen healthy, young men participa...

The aim was to improve nutritional quality of cows’ milk and use it as raw material for mozzarella cheese. Three treatments were tested with 23 healthy animals ranging power: control, palm oil and coconut oil. Collection was performed in 21 days and another after 36 days. Proximate composition (moisture, ash, fat, protein, carbohydrates), sensory, color (CIE L, a, b) and texture were made for m...
