Abstract SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Due to the economical importance of accelerating the ripening of cheese, a great deal of attention has been given in this respect. Characterization of the unique properties of various lipolytic enzymes. and recognition of the flavour potential of milk fat, resulting from its characteristic composition of short chain fatty acids, have led to the development of numerous applications of controlled lipolysis for flavour development. The acceleration of flavour in several cheese varieties have been achieved by the direct addition of lipolytic enzymes to cheese milk. Moreover this investigation was carried out to asses information on the possibility . of using lipase enzyme in accelerating the ripening of Domiati cheese made from buffaloes’ milk and its effect on the quality and composition of the cheese. The investigation was carried out in two parts: Part I: In the first part the effect of adding different concentrations of lipase enzyme (0, 8. 10 and 12 gm/100 kg milk) to buffaloes’ milk before renneting during the manufacture of Domiati cheese was studied. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. Effect of a~ding different concentrations of lipase enzyme on moisture, fat and salt was not apparent. However cheeses with the largest quantity of added enzyme was -~~~~_.~- ---. --- 120 characterized by slightly high moisture content and a slight decrease in the fat content. 2. The addition of lipase to cheese milk had an apparent increase in the aCidity of cheese. 3. The T.N. in cheese increased during the first month then slightly decreased during the rest period of storage. The addition of lipase increased the T.N. per dry matter. 4. The addition of lipase caused a slight difference in soluble nitrogen and ripening indicies. 5. The addition of lipase enhanced the development of V.F.A. also the T.V.F.A. increased with advanced storage. 6. The cheese fat acidity ran parallel to T.V.F.A. being progressively increased with storage and added lipase as a result of fat hydrolysis by the action of lipase enzyme. 7. The addition of lipase enzyme was found to ehnahce the development of cheese flavour after 30 days of storage. Excellent flavour and highly acceptable consistency were observed. However, rancid flavour was detected in cheese with high amount of lipase (12 gm lipase/lOO kg milk) after 90 days. It could __ concluded that the addition of lipase at a level of 10 g_ lipase/IOO kg milk proceeds more rapid ripening with a s_oath body and a good flavour and ranked the best. 121 8. The average percent cheese yield of the control was slightly lower than that with added lipase all through the storage. Part II. In the second part, the lipase enzyme was added during the manufacture of Domiati cheese with a level of 10 gm/IOO kg milk by three different methods, being, on cheese milk before renneting, on the cream to be lipolyzed then added to its skim milk before renneti~g and the third method was the addition of lipase on the curd after coagulation. The results of this part were as follows: 1. Cheese with lipolyzed cream was characterized by low moisture and salt content and. pH value than the other treatments. 2. The lipolyzed cream cheese had a high fat content, titratable acidity and proteolytic products (soluble nitrogen, soluble tyrosine and tryptophan and formol index) but a slight decrease in total nitrogen than the other treatments. 3. The T.V.F.A. and cheese fat aCidity in cheese made with lipase treated cream was higher than those of the two other methods. 4. It is evident that the yield of lipolyzed cream cheese was lower th~ the two types of cheese. 5. Lipolyzed cream treatment was considered the best one due to its suit~le odour, texture and smooth body than the other treatments. |
