Abstract Cheddar cheese ~s the nrinci~le ingredl~ in the processed cheese blend. In Egypt the use af imported Chedda-r’ cheese in the manufacture of pro.ceased cheese is expensive. so., it was worth while to low.er the cost of manfa.ct.u rd.n g this favorable type of cheese by using a new t echnf.que , Introduction of retentates into nrocess cheese making haa been explored .early. Recently, cheese base was suggested for repl.acement of cheddar cheese in processed cheese ma.nufacture. Therefore, this study wa.splanned to investigate the II II feasibility of the manufacture of cheese-base from ultrafiltrered ski mmi lk pcwder to replace natural Cheddar cheese in the processed cheese blend. The research was carried out in three parts: Part I: Local and imported processed cheese samples representea 13 variety were randomly coliected from the Egyptian market for evaluation. The chemical., physical and bacteriological properties showed great-variations. If 11 Correlation coefficient r values between texture and melting properties and some parameters of processed cheese were calculated. Part II:B1.ends from different proportions of young and mature Cheddar cheese (5 and 10 months’ oLd) were manufactured to processed cheese to sel.ect the more suitable blend .hichgive a processed cheese with good properties. The chemical., physical and organa.lep.tic evuuations for the resultant processed cheese showed that the more suitable bl.end was consisted of 75 % yQ;ung + ~5 % mature Cheddar cheese. This was selected as a control in part III. Part III: In this part a cheese-base from ultra-filtered recoD.- stituted skjmmiIk was produced to repl.ace to-tally or partially the Cheddar cheese in processed cheese blends. Then the resultant processed cheese was tested chemically, physically, microbiologically and sensory evaluted. The results of this part summarised as follows: 1- For making the cheese bases, reconstituted skimmilk (20 %) was ultrafilterated followed by dia.filtration. The retenta.te 12asteurised.,. fermented” coa-gu1..a..tewdith r.e.naets. then puaped II II through Alcurd machine for cutting,. strrilig and removing whey. The resultant curd divided into tWQ panions. The first one was salted” pressed and packed to, produce ” cheese-base I II• The second portion was trea.ted with ” J.I Savorase-A proteolytic enzyme, salted, pressed and packed It II to produce cheese-base II • 2~ Cheese-base I and II w.ere stqred for 2.weeks at laC and tested perio·dically”’a;s they comparedwith Che.dda([c”aeeae , They compared wi.th Cheddar cheese. They were analysed for chemical com.position, microbiological q..uality and eva.tua.t ed organolyptically as well as protein ·cie&radauWL .. was follow.ed through ri};lening. 3- It was found that 2. w.eeksare enough period for ripening the cheese base. 4- A new.’processed cheese blends were suggested by replacing young and mature Chadda.r cheese with cheese-base I or cheese-base II. 5-- The resultant processed cheese w.ere stored at 10” 20 and 30°C and analysed when fresh and a.f ter 3 and 6. months. 6- The chemical composition of the processed cheese from different blends showed somevariation.s but all of them lies within the Egyptian legal standards for processed cheese. pH values of different cheeses also lies within the best range suggested for this type of cheese (5.41 to 7- The differences in chemical analysis occurred through stor.age at different temperatures w.ere evaluated statistically. 8- Microbiological properties of processed cheese from different blends showed soae varia.tiona clUe to the ’Various treatments and the storage at different tem.peratures- Generally} all. cheeses considered of good q.uality and there was no micro.bio~Q.gi.caldefects. 9- The Rhysica~ properties are very important in processed cheese. The oil separation defect was not detected in all tested cheeses. Melting index showed great variations towards the different treatments. A~so the penetrom.eter zeadi.ng was a..ffected by the composition of the blend as well as the storage period. The consistency 0 f processed cheese was affected by the variations in the blend com.psition as we~l as storage at different tem12eratures. 10- The texture of the processed cheese was evalua.ted using the instI’OJl machine. from the texture. profile, the hardness. cohesiveness. gumminess. spr-Lngi.ne aa, chevdness and adhesiveness were calculated. 11- The col.our of processed cheese from. different bl.ends wa.s determined s:gectrophotometrically and expressed as O.D. 12- Analysis of variance (F-test) was carried out fo.r al.l characteristics between treatments storage time,. storage time x storage temperature and treatment x storage tiJa.e. 13- statistical analysis. showed the correlation coefficients between the physical. prope r-td.e s and ehead.ca),param.eters.. 14- Sensory evaluation was done b;y the panelists and evaluated sta tistically. The resultant processed cl\~ese from all bl.enda show.edan acceptahle cheeses and with good keeping q.uality. It was concluded that R!,?cessed cheese can successfull.y manufacture using the ul trafiltrat:ed ski mm; l.k :gowder retentate a.fter increasing its protein content and ri:2ening for 2 weeks (cheese-base I) 0·1’ with the a.ddition o.r Savora.se proteolytic enZ3”M-e (chee se.-baee II) for replacing partially Cheddar cheese up to 75 % without any defects in its chemi.cak, :physi~ •. microbiological and o.z-gano.Lep td,c properties. |
