  • CHEESE Or FROMAGE
    CHEESE or FROMAGE Cheese is a solid derivative of milk. It is produced by coagulating the protein (CAESIN) in milk so that it forms curds - usually by adding RENNET (outer agent used to seperate the milk protein) - and draining off the liquid (WHEY). Cheese then undergoes a ripening process, during which it changes in taste, texture and appearance and each variety takes on its own particular characteristics. Some cheeses develop veining during ripening, while other form holes or 'EYES'. Veining is caused by a bacteria in the cheese, which may occur naturally, or may be introduced. All cheeses develop a rind or crust of some sort, or are given one artificially such as red wax rind of EDAM. Some cheeses, such as BRIE & CAMEMBERT, develop a mould on the outside surface which produces enzymes which help ripen the cheese from outside towards the center. Most cheese is made from 'EWES' milk with a small amount made from 'COWS' or `GOATS' milk. The type of milk and the different techniques used to seperate the curds and whey and ripen the cheese result in the many different types of cheese. Climate, vegetation and seasonal changes can also influence the finished cheese, which means that some varieties can only be produced in a certain area and cannot br produced in large quantities or under factory conditions. CHEDDAR, however lends itself well to factory techniques. Although CAESIN makes up 78% of the milk protein, there are other proteins present in smaller quantities, but they are soluble and are drained out with the WHEY. The whey may be then processed to curdle the remaining protein and used to make low fat cheese such as RICOTTA - a moist, unsalted Italian cheese.

  • Use of Iodised Salt in Cheese Manufacturing to Improve Iodine Status in the UK
    Use of iodised salt in cheese manufacturing to improve iodine status in the UK by Suruchi Pradhan A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November/2019 1 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy in Nutrition School School of Sports and Health Sciences Sections marked * delete as appropriate 1. Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards *I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution 2.

Signature of Candidate ______ ________________________________________________ Print name: Suruchi Pradhan ____________________________________________________________ 2 Abstract Iodine is an essential trace mineral. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to adverse postnatal consequences such as impaired mental development, reduced intelligence scores and impaired motor skills in the offspring of the deficient women (Khazan et al., 2013, Rayman et al, 2008). There is growing evidence in the UK of low dietary iodine intakes and potential iodine deficiency in vulnerable populations (pregnant women and women of child bearing age group) (Rayman and Bath, 2015, Vanderpump et al., 2011) and a paucity of information on the iodine content of food products. In developing countries where iodine deficiency is widespread, salt has successfully been used as a vehicle for iodine fortification, however iodised salt is not widely available in UK supermarkets and there are valid health concerns about promoting salt intake.

  • Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis Quesodiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013
    Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis QuesoDiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013 Scandinavia is a historical region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno- cultural Germanic heritage and related languages. This region encompasses three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Modern Norway and Sweden proper are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries. Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group. The vast majority of the human population of Scandinavia are Scandinavians, descended from several (North) Germanic tribes who originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia and what is now northern Germany, who spoke a Germanic language Pairing wines and cheeses from the same region is a good, “safe” place to start wine and cheese combinations. Unfortunately, the Scandinavian countries do not make any good wine that I am aware of. Cheeses Of Norway Gammelost It is a traditional Norwegian ripened table cheese with irregular blue veins made principally in the counties of Hardanger and Sogn. It is rich in protein with low fat content, measuring 1% fat and 50% protein. Moisture, not more than 52 percent (usually 46 to 52 percent) ash, 2.5 percent; and salt (in the ash), 1 percent Its name translates as "old cheese" because the rind grows a mould that makes it look old before its time.

  • Quase Toda a Gente Gosta De Queijo
    QUEIJO Quase toda a gente gosta de Queijo. Mas ? COMO APARECEU QUAIS OS MELHORES QUAIS OS MAIS CAROS AS INÚMERAS VARIEDADES AS REGIÕES DE ORIGEM e outras coisas! MITOLOGIA Segundo a mitologia, o queijo teria sido descoberto por Aristeu, filho de Apolo. A História confirma a sua antiguidade: Os Assírios, os Caldeus e os Egípcios e, posteriormente, os Grecos e os Romanos apreciavam o queijo, utilizando-o na alimentação dos seus soldados e atletas. A Odisseia de Homero (século VIII a.C.) descreve o Ciclope fazendo e armazenando queijo do leite de ovelha e de cabra. a LENDA Uma famosa lenda conta que o primeiro queijo foi feito acidentalmente por um mercador árabe que, ao sair para cavalgar por uma região montanhosa, debaixo do sol escaldante, levou uma bolsa cheia de leite de cabra para matar a sede. Após um dia inteiro a galope, o árabe, morto de sede, pegou no seu cantil para beber, e deparou-se com uma grande surpresa; o leite encontrava-se separado em duas partes: um líquido fino e esbranquiçado (o soro) e uma porção sólida (o queijo). A transformação deu-se devido ao calor intenso do sol, ao galope do cavalo e ao material do cantil (uma bolsa feita de estômago de carneiro) que ainda continha o coalho (substância que coagula o leite). Queijo "mumificado" será o mais antigo do mundo já encontrado. Estava sólido, dentro de uma tumba egípcia, construída no século 13 a.C., o que faz com que o queijo tenham cerca de 3.300 anos. O Queijo: gravura da época ilustrando o fabrico artesanal e o consumo doméstico.
