Characterization of the key nonvolatile metabolites in Cheddar cheese by partial least squares regression (PLSR), reconstitution, and omission

Abstract

Cheddar cheese was desirable by consumers worldwide due to its characteristic taste and aroma, but limited information was available about taste contributors. Therefore, sensory profiles of natural Cheddar cheeses were investigated by quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Umami, salty, and brothy attributes were the principal differential attributes. Nonvolatile metabolites were analyzed to decipher their taste contributions, of which free amino acids (FAAs) and organic acids recorded the most considerable differences. The key taste compounds were identified by partial least squares regression (PLSR), reconstitution, and omission tests. NaCl and glutamic acid (Glu) were the primary contributors of salty and umami tastes, respectively. Sourness was synergistically affected by organic acids and Glu. Despite their limited taste impacts, the remaining amino acids intensified sourness and saltiness when mixed with Glu. Organic acids (especially in combination) and NaCl exhibited significant taste enhancements. These results provided deep insight into crucial nonvolatile metabolites promoting Cheddar cheese tastes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
