Study of the Flavor and Consistency Problem in Cheddar Cheese Made From Buffalo Milk

Abstract

dc:description

Twenty-One batches of buffalo and cow milk Cheddar cheese were made. Each batch of curd was further divided into three lots, two of which were treated with fully ripened cheese slurry or food-grade enzymes (FGE) and the third was left untreated. The effect of four different coagulants, five starter cultures and two pasteurization processes on Cheddar cheese body and flavor characteristics was studied. The objective of this study was to identify the conditions which would permit the manufacture of Cheddar cheese from buffalo milk with the typical body and flavor characteristics found in Cheddar cheese made of cow milk.
