The effect of curd washing on functional properties of low-moisture mozzarella cheese made with galactose-fermenting culture was investigated. A total of 4 curd washing levels (0%, 10%, 25%, 50% wt/wt) were used during low-moisture mozzarella cheese manufacture, and cheeses were stored for 63 d at 4 degrees C and the influence of curd washing on proteolysis and functionality of low-moisture mozzarella cheese were examined. Curd washing had a significant effect on moisture and ash contents. In general, moisture contents increased and ash contents decreased with increased curd washing levels. Low-moisture mozzarella cheese made with 10% curd washing levels showed higher proteolysis, meltability, and stretchability during storage than other experimental cheeses. In general, galactose contents decreased during storage; however, cheeses made with 25% and 50% curd washing levels had lower galactose contents than those with control or 10%. L-values (browning) decreased and proteolysis increased in low-moisture mozzarella cheeses during storage.

Reduction of Beta Cyclodextrin by Curd Washing in Low-Cholesterol Manchego Cheese.

Molecules

June 2023

Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias de la Alimentación (CSIC-UAM), 28049 Madrid, Spain.

Beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide consisting of seven glucose units. β-CD is increasingly used in food research to reduce cholesterol due to its affinity for non-polar molecules such as cholesterol and as a natural additive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of curd washing in ewe's milk cheese on the reduction in cholesterol by β-CD from pasteurized ewe's milk Manchego cheese and the characteristics of its main components: milk, lipids, and flavor.

is a pathogenic bacterium-contaminating milk and milk products causing food poisoning primarily due to its enterotoxins. The study aimed at estimating the prevalence of in milk and milk products, assessing potential risk factors for contamination, and determining the load and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolates. A cross-sectional study design was employed to collect a total of 486 samples, comprising 383 raw milk, 47 bulk tank milk, 29 curd milk (Ergo), and 28 Ethiopian cottage cheese (Ayib) samples.

Determination of optimum ripening time in hard cooked cheeses (Reggianito type) using survival analysis statistics: Modified versus traditional cheese making technology.

J Food Sci

March 2021

Instituto de Lactología Industrial (INLAIN, Universidad Nacional del Litoral/CONICET), Facultad de Ingeniería Química, Santa Fe, Argentina.

In this work, we determined optimum ripening time of hard cooked cheeses made by traditional technology or by an innovative process aimed at accelerating flavor formation. For that purpose, we applied survival analysis statistics. Experimental cheese making (E) included homogenization of milk fat, unpasteurized cheese milk, changes in cooking temperature, and a curd-washing step, while traditional cheese making (T) followed a classic hard-cooked cheese making.
