Nutritional Composition of Four Commercial Cheeses Made with Buffalo Milk Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (ISSN 1336-8672) Vol. 55, 2016, No. 3, pp. 256–262 Nutritional composition of four commercial cheeses made with buffalo milk MINA MARTINI – IOLANDA ALTOMONTE – AMANDA MARILIA DA SILVA Sant’ANA – FEDERICA SALARI Summary This paper compares the nutritional characteristics of four commercial cheeses made from the same buffalo milk using different production processes. Four subsequent cheese-making processes were made over a period of one month by a cheese company in Italy. For each cheese-making from the same bulk buffalo milk, four different cheeses were made: mozzarella, caciotta, capriccio and Blu del Granduca. All the samples were analysed in terms of determination of chemical composition and fatty acid profile. The manufacturing process affected the nutritional and health cha- racteristics of the cheeses. The cheese-making process led to a lower retention of calcium in mozzarella, and a higher nitrogen content in dry matter. In addition, the cheese-making process and ripening influenced the fatty acid profiles, and modified various atherogenic (C12:0 and C14:0) and beneficial fatty acids (C18:3 n-3, cis-9,trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid, C20:5 and C20:6). Despite the higher fat on wet basis, the ripened cheeses, in particular the Blu cheese, showed a healthier fatty acid profile than mozzarella.

È proprio la montagna a segnare il carattere di questo formaggio latteria che si presenta con una pasta leggermente occhiata ed un colore paglierino che aumenta, assieme al gusto, con l’avanzare della stagionatura. Ideale la versione con una maturazione dai 4 ai 6 mesi. Peso per pezzo: 6,50 kg Pezzi per cartone: 2 Stagionatura: 30-60-90-120-mezzano MONTASIO DOP PDM (Prodotto Della Montagna) Il Montasio prodotto nel caseificio di Ovaro è l’unico Montasio prodotto in Friuli che, secondo le direttive del consorzio, può fregiarsi della denominazione PDM (Prodotto Della Montagna), in quanto ha la peculiarità di essere prodotto e stagionato in un caseificio ad oltre 500 metri di altitudine, con latte proveniente da zone oltre i 500 metri. Il sapore, morbido e delicato quando è fresco si fa via via più deciso ed aromatico. La pasta, da bianca compatta con una caratteristica occhiatura omogenea ed una crosta liscia ed elastica, con il passare dei mesi diventa granulosa e friabile con una crosta secca e più scura. Forma cilindrica, altezza 6-10 cm, larghezza 30-40 cm. Peso per pezzo: 6,5 kg Pezzi per cartone: 2 Stagionatura: 60-90-120-mezzano-oltre 12 mesi-oltre 18 mesi. MONTASIO DOP 047 Ha diverse facce, trasforma il suo gusto, sorprende per la sua varietà e accontenta tutti i palati.

Eight variants of reduced-fat cheese (fat concentration 34–51% lower than traditional full-fat Burrata cheese, used as the control) were obtained using: (i) semi-skimmed milk and reduced-fat cream alone (RC) or in combination with (ii) xanthan (RCX), (iii) carrageenan (RCC), (iv) starter E1 (RCE1), (v) starter E2 (RCE2), (vi) both starters (RCE1-2), (vii) E1 and xanthan (RCXE1), or E1 and carrageenan (RCCE1). Post-acidification occurred for the RCC, RCX, and RCE2 Burrata cheeses, due to the higher number of mesophilic cocci found in these cheeses after 16 days of storage. Overall, mesophilic and thermophilic cocci, although showing cheese variant-depending dynamics, were dominant microbial groups, flanked by Pseudomonas sp. during storage. Lactobacilli, increasing during storage, represented another dominant microbial group.
