Rheological Evaluation of Maturing Cheddar Cheese

CREAMER, LAWRENCE K., OLSON, NORMAN F.·1982·Journal of Food Science

Abstract

A number of Cheddar cheese samples of different age, pH and moisture content have been examined rheologically and electrophoretically to determine whether the progressive changes in cheese texture were related to casein proteolysis. The force‐compression curves obtained by crushing cubes of cheese between small flat plates at constant speed were different for the different cheese samples and were affected by the moisture content, pH and extent of α sl ‐casein proteolysis that had taken place in the cheese. These results support a model of cheese micro structure in which an extensive network involving α sl ‐ casein molecules traverses the cheese and as the cheese ripens, chymosin cleavage of α sl ‐casein weakens the protein network. Such a model explains the rapid decrease in Cheddar cheese yield‐force that occurs during the early stages of ripening.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • An increase in the protease concentration through the ripening time of Cheddar cheese caused a decrease in the Cheddar moisture content.

    “Additionally, an increase in the protease concentration through the ripening time of Cheddar cheese caused a decrease in the Cheddar moisture content (Creamer and Olson 1982; McCarthy et al. 2016).”
  • Proteolysis has important consequences for the development of cheese texture due to cleavage of the protein matrix and flavour through the production of precursors of volatile flavour compounds and directly by the liberation of amino acids and certain peptides.

    “Proteolysis has important consequences for the development of cheese texture due to cleavage of the protein matrix (Creamer and OIson, 1982;Lawrence et al, 1983) and f1avour through the production of the precursors of a number of volatile f1avour compounds and directly by the liberation of amino acids and certain peptides (see Fox et al, 1995a).”

  • Proteolysis generates two new ionic groups for every peptide bond that is hydrolyzed.

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.
