FACTORS AFFECTING THE PRODUCTION OF CONCENTRATED BLUE CHEESE FLAVORINGS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Food, Nutrition, and Culinary Sciences By Jason Charles Raines August 2012 Accepted by: Dr. John U. McGregor, Committee Chair Dr. Terry Walker Dr. Feng Chen ABSTRACT The effects of media type and culture selection on the aroma profile of Blue cheese flavorings produced using submerged culture fermentation were studied. Fermentations were carried out for 16 hours then compared using sensory analysis and GC/MS SPME. The differences between samples were minimal. Samples produced with adjunct media were found to have higher concentrations of methyl ketones and more “creamy” aroma character than samples produced from standard media. Higher levels of free fatty acids were found in standard media samples. Adjunct cultures appear to enhance the “creamy” character of Blue cheese flavorings. Near-critical and supercritical carbon dioxide were used to concentrate the aroma active compounds of a traditional Blue cheese and a Blue cheese flavoring. Pressures used ranged from 73 to 90 Bar, temperatures used were 35 and 45 degrees Celsius. The extracts were selective for 2-heptanone and 2-nonanone, the characteristic compounds of Blue cheese. Two-heptanone was more soluble than 2-nonanone and comprised 67 to 71 percent of the extracts. Near-critical extraction (73 Bar; 35 degrees Celsius) of Blue cheese flavoring yielded the most methyl ketones. Results indicate that carbon dioxide may be effective for the concentration of methyl ketones on an industrial scale. ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my mother and father who have always supported me in the pursuit of knowledge. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you, Dr. McGregor, for being a great mentor throughout my time at Clemson University and guiding me through the many challenges of designing a research study.

  • The Complete Book of Cheese by Robert Carlton Brown
    THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CHEESE BY ROBERT CARLTON BROWN Chapter One I Remember Cheese Cheese market day in a town in the north of Holland. All the cheese- fanciers are out, thumping the cannon-ball Edams and the millstone Goudas with their bare red knuckles, plugging in with a hollow steel tool for samples. In Holland the business of judging a crumb of cheese has been taken with great seriousness for centuries. The abracadabra is comparable to that of the wine-taster or tea-taster. These Edamers have the trained ear of music-masters and, merely by knuckle-rapping, can tell down to an air pocket left by a gas bubble just how mature the interior is. The connoisseurs use gingerbread as a mouth-freshener; and I, too, that sunny day among the Edams, kept my gingerbread handy and made my way from one fine cheese to another, trying out generous plugs from the heaped cannon balls that looked like the ammunition dump at Antietam. I remember another market day, this time in Lucerne. All morning I stocked up on good Schweizerkäse and better Gruyère. For lunch I had cheese salad. All around me the farmers were rolling two- hundred-pound Emmentalers, bigger than oxcart wheels. I sat in a little café, absorbing cheese and cheese lore in equal quantities. I learned that a prize cheese must be chock-full of equal-sized eyes, the gas holes produced during fermentation. They must glisten like polished bar glass. The cheese itself must be of a light, lemonish yellow. Its flavor must be nutlike.

Chambers1, Edgar Chambers IV1 and Dallas Johnson2 1The Sensory Analysis Center, Department of Human Nutrition, Kansas State University, Justin Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-1407, USA 2Department of Statistics, Kansas State University, Dickens Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA Abstract Intensities of 30 flavor attributes were measured for 42 cheeses. Rated intensities of flavor characteristics generally fell in the low to moderate range for all cheeses. Some of the flavor characteristics (dairy fat, dairy sour, dairy sweet, sharp, astringent, bitter, salty, sour, and sweet) were present in all cheeses, and some (cooked milk, animalic, goaty, fruity, moldy, mushroom, and nutty) were specific to only a few of the cheeses evaluated in this study. The flavor of each of the 42 cheeses is described. Similarities in flavor were observed among many of the individual cheeses. Therefore, a clustering scheme was developed to show the overall flavor relationships among the cheeses. Those relationships are schematically represented by a tree diagram. Proximity on the tree diagram indicates a high degree of flavor similarity among the types of cheese. Introduction In most countries, consumption of cheese has been on the rise over the past decades (Richards, 1989; Magretti, 1996; Havrila, 1997; Hoebermann, 1997; Anonymous, 2002).

Different geographical 23 regions have adopted various strategies for handling whey derived from colored cheeses 24 production. For example, in the USA, whey products are treated with oxidizing agents such 25 as hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl peroxide to obtain white and colorless spray-dried 26 products; however, chemical bleaching of whey is prohibited in Europe and China. 27 Fundamental studies have focused on understanding the interactions between colorants 28 molecules and various components of cheese. In addition, the selective delivery of colorants 29 to the cheese curd through approaches such as encapsulated norbixin and micro-capsules of 30 bixin or use of alternative colorants, including fat- soluble/emulsified versions of annatto or 31 beta-carotene, have been studied. This review provides a critical analysis of pertinent 32 scientific and patent literature pertaining to colorant delivery in cheese and various types of 33 colorant products on the market for cheese manufacture, and also considers interactions 34 between colorant molecules and cheese components; various strategies for elimination of 35 color transfer to whey during cheese manufacture are also discussed.

  • Biochemistry of Cheese Ripening
    Blackwell Publishing, Ltd. SYMPOSIUM CONTRIBUTION Biochemistry of cheese ripening PAUL L H McSWEENEY Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, University College, Cork, Ireland Rennet-coagulated cheeses are ripened for periods ranging from about two weeks to two or more years depending on variety. During ripening, microbiological and biochemical changes occur that result in the development of the flavour and texture characteristic of the variety. Biochemical changes in cheese during ripening may be grouped into primary (lipolysis, proteolysis and metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate) or secondary (metabolism of fatty acids and of amino acids) events. Residual lactose is metabolized rapidly to lactate during the early stages of ripening. Lactate is an important precursor for a series of reactions including racemization, oxidation or microbial metabolism. Citrate metabolism is of great importance in certain varieties. Lipolysis in cheese is catalysed by lipases from various source, particularly the milk and cheese microflora, and, in varieties where this coagulant is used, by enzymes from rennet paste. Proteolysis is the most complex biochemical event that occurs during ripening and is catalysed by enzymes from residual coagulant, the milk (particularly plasmin) and proteinases and peptidases from lactic acid bacteria and, in certain varieties, other microorganisms that are encouraged to grow in or on the cheese. Secondary reactions lead to the production of volatile flavour compounds and pathways for the production of flavour compounds from fatty acids and amino acids are also reviewed.

The Count of Lactic Acid Bacteria in White Cheese. Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries . Vol. 7, No. 6, 2018, pp. 143-149. doi: 10.11648/j.aff.20180706.14 Received : July 14, 2018; Accepted : July 26, 2018; Published : January 16, 2019 Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of pH and the temperature on the lactic acid bacteria during 45 day cheese making time because they have the most important effect in taste and aroma as final product. The determination of the presence of lactic acid bacteria counted in milk and cheese is important because they have the most important effect in taste and aroma as final product. Raw material for white soft cheese production was bulk cow milk (summer lactation) from the terrain of the whole Pcinja region in Serbia. The samples for microbial and physical-chemical testing were monitored from: raw milk, milk before making cheese, whey, coagulate before production, after self pressure and pressure, cheese after moulding and dry salting and cheese after the 1 st , 10 th , 20 th , 30 th and 45 th day of brine. During the cheese making, the number of lactic acid bacteriaa in the milk prepared for making cheese was decreasing in comparison to their number in the raw milk, which proves that the total number of microorganisms is less after pasteurization.
