1 What is the ideal milk composition for cheese manufacture? How close is Wisconsin milk to that ideal, and how does it compare with milk from other leading dairy states? What can Wisconsin's dairy farmers and cheese processors do to ensure that milk produced in the state improves the state's cheese industry from farm to wholesale product? These questions are addressed in this report, which sup...

449 Abstract: Low-fat Edam cheese was manufactured using conventional cheese-making procedures using low-fat milk (1.5% fat). The cheese samples were aged for six months at 5 to 6°C. The cheese was analyzed for biochemical characteristics and peptide content. The peptide contents were determined with reverse phase chromatography. The association property of proteins and peptides in the soluble ...

An electronic nose based on coated piezoelectric quartz crystals was used to distinguish cheese made from ewes' milk, and to distinguish cheese varieties. Two sensors coated with Nafion and Carbowax could certify half the ewes' cheese samples, exclude 32 cheeses made from cow's milk and to classify half of the ewes' cheese samples as possibly authentic. Two other sensors, coated with polyvinylp...

This study was conducted to determine the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during the ripening period of herby cheese made traditionally from raw cow milk. The cheese milk was inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 at the level of 3 log and 5 log cfu/mL, and then both manufactured herby cheeses were divided into two groups equally. The herby cheeses were stored by using two different methods for r...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the salt (sodium chloride) content in cheese sold in UK supermarkets. STUDY DESIGN We carried out a cross-sectional survey in 2012, including 612 cheeses available in UK supermarkets. METHODS The salt content (g/100 g) was collected from product packaging and nutrient information panels of cheeses available in the top seven retailers. RESULTS Salt content in chees...

Late blowing in Swiss cheese, a result of unwanted gas production during ripening, isunacceptable to consumers, and causes economic loss to manufacturers. Cheese processorshave raised concerns that feeding dried distillers’ grains with soluble (DDGS) to cows leadsto this defect, in part, because of Clostridial spores. In this study, the effect of feeding DDGSto lactating dairy c...

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that can cause serious invasive disease in humans. Because human listeriosis cases have previously been linked to consumption of contaminated cheese, control of this pathogen throughout the cheese production chain is of particular concern. To understand the potential for L. monocytogenes transmission via São Jorge cheese, a Portuguese artisanal che...

BACKGROUND Healthy foods have been met with marked success in the last two decades. Lupine flours, protein concentrates, and isolates can be applied as a substance for enriching different kinds of food systems such as bakery products, lupine pasta, ice cream, milk substitutes. Imitation processed cheese is made from mixtures of dairy and/or non dairy proteins and fat/oils and is variously label...

Short-chain free fatty acids (FFA) are important sources of cheese flavor and have been reported to be indicators for assessing quality. The objective of this research was to develop a simple and rapid screening tool for monitoring the short-chain FFA contents in Swiss cheese by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Forty-four Swiss cheese samples were evaluated by using a MIRac...

In the past fifty years, no recorded case of botulism has been attributed to surface ripened cheese (NIeyer and Eddie, 1950). When cheese spread was prepared from one type of surface ripened cheese, botulinum toxin was demonstrated in only one out of several million jars (Dauer, 1952). The fact that botulism was never observed with the original surface ripened cheese from which cheese spreads w...
