  • SWISS Cheese Pavilion at Anuga - Media Release (Trend Topics)
    SWISS Cheese Pavilion at Anuga - Media Release (Trend Topics) SWISS Cheese Pavilion - Innovation based on tradition At the SWISS Cheese Pavilion (Hall 10.1/ Booth B-021 - D-040), which is organized by Switzerland Cheese Marketing AG in conjunction with Switzerland Global Enterprise, the Swiss dairy industry will be showcasing traditional products of the traditional Swiss export industry over an area of some 900 m2. The high level of Swiss quality awareness and the wealth of practical knowledge as regards processing are equally important for commercial and industrial companies. At the SWISS Cheese Pavilion, three major companies – Emmi Schweiz AG, Mifroma SA and Züger AG – will be showcasing their diverse range of products and services. Eight companies will be presenting their quality product ranges at the joint stand: Alp Senn AG, Bodensee Käse AG, Cremo SA – von Mühlenen, Geska AG, InterCheese AG, Lustenberger & Dürst SA, Margot Fromage SA and the Swiss Association of Soft and Semi-hard Cheese Producers (SGWH). The Swiss cheese classics Appenzeller, Emmental, Gruyère and Tête de Moine will also be represented at the venue and of course offered up for tasting by the Anuga experts. Züger Frischkäse AG - A family business with a global clientèle The family firm Züger Frischkäse AG has been exporting more than 50% of its products to Europe and overseas for many years now. IQF (Individual Quick Frozen) products are primarily offered for system catering outside Europe. “Thanks to their long shelf-life, they can easily be transported by ship, which is cheaper than doing so by plane,” says Christoph Scherrer, sales manager at Züger Frischkäse AG.

  • Abstract Ameerally, Angelique
    ABSTRACT AMEERALLY, ANGELIQUE DANIELLE. Sensory and Chemical Properties of Gouda Cheese. (Under the direction of MaryAnne Drake). Gouda cheese (G) is a Dutch, washed curd cheese that is traditionally produced from bovine milk and brined before ripening for 1-20 months. In response to domestic and international demand, U.S. production of Gouda cheese has more than doubled in recent years. An understanding of the chemical and sensory properties of G can help manufacturers to create desirable products. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical and sensory properties of Gouda cheeses. Commercial Gouda cheeses (n=36, 3 mo to 5 y, domestic and international) were obtained in duplicate lots. Volatile compounds were extracted (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography olfactometry (GCO) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). Physical analyses included pH, proximate analysis, salt content, organic acid analysis by HPLC, and color. Flavor and texture properties were determined by descriptive sensory analysis. Focus groups were conducted with cheese followed by consumer acceptance testing (n=153) with selected cheeses. Ninety aroma active compounds were detected in cheeses by SPME- GC-O. Key volatile compounds in Gouda cheeses included dimethyl sulfide, 2,3- butanedione, 2/3-methylbutanal, ethyl butyrate, acetic acid, and methional. Older cheeses had higher organic acid concentrations, higher fat and salt content, and lower moisture content than younger G. Younger cheeses were characterized by milky, whey, sour aromatic, and diacetyl flavors while older G were characterized by fruity, caramel, malty/nutty, and brothy flavors. International cheeses were differentiated by the presence of low intensities of cowy/barny and grassy flavors.
